This module will give you an in depth understanding of:

• Human physiology in endurance sports and exercise

• The mechanisms underlying training, fatigue, and underperformance.

• How to conduct an objective exercise test and measure performances, for example with cardiopulmonary exercise testing

• Physiological explanations for the differences exercise capacity between genders and at different ages.

• The energy demands of exercise and its measurement using exercise testing

• The specific challenges exhibited by either hot, cold, or hypoxic / altitude environment to the human body

Evolution of the Human Brain and Behaviour (ARCL0185)

The purpose of the module is to provide an in-depth exploration of scientific approaches to the evolution of human intelligence.  This includes the nature of the available evidence, established methods of investigation, and challenges faced by researchers.  The module opens with a consideration of basic philosophical issues surrounding the study of human cognition.  This is followed by sessions devoted to comparative neuroanatomy, brain development and evolution, developmental psychology, primate intelligence, and human culture and language.  The final four classes apply this knowledge to specific evidence and interpretations of the Palaeolithic archaeological and paleontological records.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (SURG0072)

This module aims to introduce a Trainee Surgeon, Clinician and Healthcare Professional to basic and the most up to date techniques used in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.

This modules includes a series of lectures on wide range of topic related to hand, breast, face, eye, nose, ear, lower limbs, and Abdominal Plasty and Reconstructive Surgery. Lectures on reconstructive surgery include the head/neck, breast reconstruction, Dupuytrens disease, congenital hand, cleft lip, skin cancer etc. Craniofacial/Aesthetic Surgery includes: maxillofacial fractures, ocular cosmetic surgery, hair transplantation, and ear reconstruction. Lectures are delivered by consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons with years of experience working in this field.

After taking this module you will be able to understand concepts of anatomy relevant to reconstruction surgery and basic and novel concepts of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
