This module is designed as a challenging introductory course and is specifically for non-History of Art students. It examines early modern European art from the 13th to the 16th century, focusing on objects in London's galleries and museums and taught predominantly in front of works in these collections. The specific content of this modules changes each year but the aim is to introduce students to key issues in Italian Renaissance and northern European art, focusing on paintings, sculpture and the decorative arts in London institutions such as the National Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum. It is assessed by two essays, of 2,500 words, equally weighted.

This module begins with an overview of the molecular and cellular processes underlying the initiation and progression of cancer. The sessions that follow discuss the processes implicated in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and examine how current cellular and molecular knowledge has supported new treatments. Additional sessions present the current diagnostic and treatment methods, including the most recent technological advances for cancer imaging, pharmacological or energy-based ablation and minimally invasive treatment. The clinical/surgical aspect of the module is emphasized with lectures on the treatment of specific carcinomas, such as pancreatic, upper and lower GI, breast and prostate cancer, delivered by oncologists and surgeons, representing the areas of treatment excellence at UCL-affiliated Hospitals. The module concludes with student presentations on case studies, for which each group of students has to design the diagnostic plan and treatment for a patient with a specific form of cancer.
