Master of Engineering (Hons) in Marine Technology with Foundation Year

at Newcastle University United Kingdom

Our course enables you to think critically about texts as radical interventions in a changing world.

This master's in English Literature offers an intellectually challenging, innovative programme of study. It's directly informed by the outstanding research of staff in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics.

The MA moves away from period-based literary studies. Instead, it considers texts in the context of established and emerging scholarship and theory.

The School has an international reputation for high-quality research. It also has a friendly research environment. You'll join a team of leading scholars. This makes it the ideal place for postgraduate engagement with major issues in English literary studies from 1500 to the present.

Newcastle has a vibrant literary scene that will inspire you. You'll have access to:

• Literary and Philosophical Society
• Newcastle Centre for Literary Arts
• Seven Stories (the National Centre for Children's Books)

Our MArch Architecture is designed to help you define the kind of architect you want to be. You can tailor your portfolio towards the practices in which you want to work or areas in which you want to demonstrate your expertise.

It is a modular MArch based on design project work. Lectures and seminars examine the theoretical, practical and material dimensions of architecture.

Through the course you'll:

• Develop an appreciation of design as a collective cultural endeavour involving the acquisition and exercise of complex knowledge and skills
• Learn to think and act critically. You'll think harder and deeper about architecture, what it can achieve and what you can do with it
• Define the kind of architect you want to be
• Tailor your portfolio towards the practices in which you want to work or areas in which you want to demonstrate expertise
• Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work in the architectural profession with an independent, research-led attitude towards design

This course meets the demand for increased knowledge in intercultural communication.

Changing social conditions and circumstances need:

• New ways of dealing with people
• Fresh ways of interacting and communicating with people of other cultures

Our cross-cultural communication master's covers how cultures and human behaviour reflexively interconnect.

We must improve our knowledge and understanding of the processes and issues involved in cross-cultural communication. We must discover how we can apply such knowledge in everyday experiences.

In practice, we need to develop our knowledge of why and how communication 'works' and how and why it sometimes does not 'work'.

The course answers questions including:

• How cultural background impacts upon successful communication
• How language, thought, and behaviour are interrelated
