This three-year food and human nutrition degree focuses on developing your practical, professional and research skills so you graduate career-ready.

Our industry-recognised qualification helps to fast-track your career, so you can apply for direct entry into the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists as soon as you graduate.

Our degree curriculum is informed by research, which ensures you're learning about the most up-to-date and relevant theories, along with the latest discoveries in the industry. Our food and human nutrition course explores the links between diet and health from the molecular level through to people and populations.

You'll also have the opportunity to explore topics such as genetics, physiology, bioenergetics and sport and exercise nutrition, among others.

Our accredited Architecture BA Honours degree is your first step towards qualification as a professional architect, and you'll leave with your own design style and distinctive way of working.

You'll study topics that explore the cultural, historical and technological context of architectural design, and help you understand the implications of your design decisions. Our city will provide the ultimate case study for you, with an architectural legacy that few UK cities can rival.

Projects increase in complexity through the programme, gradually stretching your architectural thinking, skills and knowledge.

This course will develop your molecular biology skills underpinned by biotechnology. You'll also gain the skills and knowledge required for employment in the industry.

Biotechnology is present in all our everyday lives. It could include:

• Developing and modifying the enzymes in biological washing powder
• Research into generating high-value biofuels
• Protecting the crops growing in our fields.

Our Industrial and Commercial Biotechnology MSc:

• Provides an opportunity to experience and refine molecular biology skills
• Covers many aspects of applied biotechnological applications
• Creates networks between fundamental research, the application of biotech solutions to modelling of large-scale bioprocess engineering
• Develops your independent research skills

The United Nations has identified that having adequate food security to provide food for everyone is a key goal. One aspect of this course investigates how biotechnology can deliver maximum crop yields without converting more land to agriculture. It includes approaches that:

• Make crops more resilient
• Produce more sustainable and less environmentally damaging pesticides

This is an individually tailored research master's degree designed for graduates with a good background in linguistics and/or English language.

Our research master's in English Language and/or Linguistics is largely based around your own research interests. We'll prepare you for further research within and beyond academia. You'll be fully supported by experts situated in one of the largest centres for linguistics research in Europe.

The individually tailored course contains some taught modules. It mostly consists of smaller, independently conducted research assignments and a larger research dissertation at the end. The topics are chosen by you, in consultation with your supervisor.

Linguistic theory

• Syntactic theory and comparative syntax
• Phonological theory
• Morphophonology and morphosyntax
• Philosophy of language
• Philosophy of linguistics
• Architecture of the language faculty

Landscape architects create and manage the landscapes we live and work in. They plan and design places. This ranges from the private garden to the urban square and the city region.

The Master of Landscape Architecture is a two-year full-time postgraduate conversion course. It's suitable for:

• Graduates in other disciplines who wish to qualify and work as professional landscape architects
• Those with international landscape qualifications who wish to pursue professional studies in the UK

Whether or not you have a background in design, you'll develop the skills needed for contemporary practice.

You'll gain a practical understanding of the theories, methods and techniques employed in landscape architecture. Most of what you learn is applicable worldwide.

The Master of Landscape Architecture has candidate accreditation from the Landscape Institute (LI). We are applying for full LI Accreditation status upon graduation of the first cohort.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a cross-disciplinary practice in the field of computing. It combines understanding people (drawing on social sciences and psychology) with the design of technology (using practices from art/design, computing and engineering).

You'll be suitable for this Human-Computer Interaction master's if you’re from technical and non-technical backgrounds, including:

• Computer science, design, and psychology graduates
• Former teachers, artists, and professionals from a range of backgrounds

You’ll gain the professional and technical skills to work in careers such as:

• User experience (UX) researcher / designer / consultant
• Interaction designer
• Usability engineer
• Research (via a PhD)

Throughout the Human-Computer Interaction master's you'll learn the principles of human-centred design and how to design better products for human experiences. You'll also build an understanding of how using digital technologies can impact people at an individual, group or societal level.

This four-year Civil Engineering degree includes a year working in industry and focuses on developing your practical and professional skills. You'll gain a wide-ranging knowledge of engineering topics so you graduate equipped for a career in the civil engineering sector.

You'll develop real-world experience – both at University and while on placement in Stage 3 – through our design-intensive programme, hands-on work in our specialist facilities and experience working directly in the sector.

You'll become a well-rounded engineer, with knowledge and skills across all five civil engineering disciplines – infrastructure, modelling and informatics, environmental systems, human and management systems, and surveying.

This accredited, Electrical and Electronic Engineering integrated master's degree focuses on developing your core knowledge and practical skills. You'll also explore more advanced specialist topics in your fourth year, so you're prepared for a career in this fast-paced industry.

With a focus on practical work and research-informed teaching, you'll cover the core aspects of the generation, distribution, storage, and conversion of electrical power.

You'll also have the opportunity to work on a real-world engineering project with an industry partner, so you gain an insight into the sector, develop industry contacts and enhance your CV.

While establishing a firm foundation of electrical and electronic engineering knowledge, you'll become a confident expert in more specialist topics, through optional modules such as: nano-electronic devices and national-scale electricity networks.

This research master's includes taught and research-based elements. You'll focus in depth on one aspect of Portuguese studies such as linguistics, culture, history and politics of Latin America, the Spanish novel and Latin American film.

Our research staff work in diverse fields. This ranges from sociocultural, historical and political studies to film and literature, linguistics and sociolinguistics.

This degree gives you the opportunity to focus on physical geography from the very start. You'll develop a deep understanding of the processes that shape our planet and how they impact on human lives and communities. Alongside this, you'll develop advanced laboratory and GIS skills.

You'll learn from internationally recognised experts in a range of fields, in the UK and internationally. Valuable field visits will take you to explore our geographically rich region but also to places as far away as Morocco, Iceland and New Zealand.

Having already performed very well in A level Geography, you'll continue to build a firm foundation of knowledge and skills in Stage 1, enabling you to thrive in the final stages. The turning point of the degree is a residential field course module in Stage 2.
