Report on Literacy Learning and Literacy Difficulties (LCLL0031)

Japanese Levels 7+7: Professional and Academic Purposes (LCJA0015)

The course is designed for very advanced level students requiring the language for professional and academic purposes.

It comprises knowledge and understanding both of the structure of the Japanese language and its use in professional and academic environments, such as presentations, meetings, lectures, seminars and conferences.  The course covers career and academic development in the target language countries, business and academic cultures and conventions, negotiating and interacting, critical thinking, reading and writing specialist academic texts (i.e. in the student’s main degree subject e.g. engineering, history), note taking and debates as well as other related topics to prepare students for working and/or further academic study/research in Japanese speaking countries. These areas will be related back to the student’s degree subject.

The course will enhance knowledge and use of linguistically complex structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of authentic professional and academic material).  Various transferable skills will also be further developed.

Competition Law, Regulation and the Intangible Economy (LAWS0140)

The module illustrates the interaction of competition law with policy tools promoting innovation, in particular competition law and intellectual property (IP) rights.

It also shows the way in which the law can work as a key instrument of innovation policy. This is the most dynamic and active area of competition law enforcement worldwide as this can be illustrated by the competition cases brought against hi tech firms, such as Microsoft, Intel, Google, Intel and the patent wars (and subsequent competition law battles) between global tech powerhouses, such as Apple and Samsung.
