This three-year English Language BA Honours degree encourages you to explore the English language in all its diversity – past and present, national and international, offline and online.

You'll investigate how English has developed over time and how it's used to mark regional, social and stylistic distinctions. You will learn from subject experts, world-leading researchers in English Language and Linguistics. You will:

• Study how English has evolved over time, how it is acquired, and how it develops in the mind
• Examine the grammatical structures and sound systems of different varieties of English
• Explore how historical, social and other contexts impact variation in English
• Learn different methodologies for studying the use and complexities of English

Our course provides specialist skills and knowledge about the most important issues related to the sustainability of agricultural production and food security.

This master's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security is suitable if you have an interest in sustainable agriculture and food security and want to develop a broad knowledge of the subject.

Sustainable agriculture and food security focuses on the availability of food now and in the future. This is a major concern of scientific and commercial communities world-wide.

The prominence of this subject is driven by:

• An increasing global population
• Pressure on non-renewable or scarce resources
• A need to increase food production whilst minimising the impact on the environment

The Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security master's covers all aspects of food security as outlined by Global Food Security. The Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme involving the main UK public sector funders of research and training related to food.

Industry experienced and research-active lecturers teach on this course.

Mechatronics represents a fusion of electrical and electronic, mechanical and software engineering.

Our four-year Mechanical Engineering with Mechatronics MEng Honours degree focuses on developing your knowledge across electrical, software and mechanical engineering, to ensure you graduate as a well-rounded, innovative and professionally prepared engineer.

Our degree allows you to fast-track your engineering career with a direct route to Chartered Engineer status, without needing to study any additional qualifications.

You will take specialist modules looking at mechatronic design, robotics and industrial automation and gain a thorough understanding of a range of engineering topics.

We work closely with industry so your studies reflect the challenges engineers face in the real world. We ensure your practical, professional and academic skills continually develop through guest lectures, placement opportunities and interactions with industry through projects and visits.

Work placement

Get career ready with a work placement and leave as a confident professional in your field. You can apply to spend 9 to 12 months working in any organisation in the world, and receive University support from our dedicated team to secure your dream placement. Work placements take place between stages 3 and 4.

You'll gain first-hand experience of working in the sector, putting your learning into practice and developing your professional expertise.

If you choose to take a work placement, it will extend your degree by a year. Placements are subject to availability.

Professional accreditation

This degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It is also professionally accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council.

This means future employers will recognise the quality of your degree because it meets high professional standards.

Our four-year Physics with Astrophysics degree provides a deep understanding of physics and a thorough grounding in advanced mathematics. You'll apply physics, mathematics and computation to understand the origin and evolution of the universe.

Hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities is embedded throughout the degree and will develop your practical skills for a wide range of physical science careers.

Guided by our world-leading academics, you'll study a broad range of cutting edge physics modules in the first two years. Your third year will allow you to specialise in astrophysics by selecting modules such as relativity and cosmology, stellar structure and evolution and interstellar medium.

Your final year includes advanced research-driven modules covering galaxies, astronomical fluids and general relativity.

Data science is revolutionising every area of science, engineering and commerce. It offers the potential for huge societal and economic benefits.

We created the PG Cert, PG Dip, MSc Data Science in collaboration with a number of high profile industry leaders. It aims to address the skills shortage in data analytics.

Our master's in Data Science brings together students and industry practitioners to develop and translate new technologies into industry practice.
