Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Environmental Science (Plus Optional Placement Year)

at University of York United Kingdom

Economics is becoming more mathematical and now requires highly technical tools.

This degree in maths and economics will allow you to develop your mathematical knowledge while also giving you an understanding of economic theory.

These teams have to be directed, organised and inspired by managers, who are often engineers of considerable talent and experience.

Teamwork and collaboration are essential when responding to design criteria, rigid timelines and unexpected issues. Those with excellent management skills will help to deliver the best solution within the timeframe. Engineers aim to anticipate and avoid problems that might arise in a wide range of industrial applications.

This course will consolidate your knowledge of fundamental principles and introduce you to more advanced concepts. You'll experience a large team software engineering project, as well as managing a substantial individual project, allowing you to develop the knowledge and skills required to become a leader in the industry. With an increased choice of advanced option modules, you'll work with our latest innovative technology and have the opportunity to engage with world-class researchers from our Engineering Education and Management research group.

If you're aspiring to have a leading role in the engineering industry, this course is for you.

Modern and contemporary art has great cultural significance for our lives today. Numerous galleries and museums globally specialise in these works, offering diverse definitions of modernity and the contemporary era.

Develop your ability to analyse images, art and architecture in a conceptual way; this is an increasingly valuable skill in a contemporary society with innovative technologies for visual research and communication.

Our flexible course enables you to study a wide variety of works ranging from painting, sculpture and architecture, to photography, installation, and performance art, and to also engage with new media and the digital world.

Any consideration of the human past is incomplete without examining the essential roles that animals have played in our economies and societies. On this course you will study archaeological animal remains on a macro and micro scale to investigate what they tell us about how humans and other species have co-existed over the millennia.

The scope of the course is global, equipping you with the knowledge and techniques to study the roles of animals in human societies from the Palaeolithic to the present and around the world. You will have the opportunity to select modules taught by leading academics in both traditional and biomolecular zooarchaeology, and options led by dedicated specialists in evolutionary anatomy, enabling you to master the latest analytical techniques and examine skeletal anatomy.

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience explores how the mind changes as children grow up, examining the environmental and biological influences on the developing brain.

You'll be provided with perspectives from developmental cognitive neuroscience and developmental and cognitive psychology, and receive hands-on training in brain imaging methods.

You'll explore topical issues such as the neural bases of perceiving, acting in the physical and social world, the development of emotion regulation and pro-social behaviour, and neuroeducation.

Explore what crime means in our culture and society and how it affects our lives.

Look beyond traditional views and develop new ways of thinking about the effects of crime, its impact on individuals and societies and how we respond to it.

Challenge your existing opinions about the nature of crime and disorder and learn to evaluate evidence, think critically and craft arguments – attributes valued by employers.

This course will enable you to engage effectively and critically with the theoretical and empirical dimensions of global social policy development. It offers a combination of taught coursework and a supervised dissertation. So you'll have the opportunity to develop detailed knowledge of social policy in a global context. Through your own guided research project you will explore aspects of social policy in which you have a particular interest.

This MA is especially suitable for:

• Prospective social policy analysts and researchers with an interest in global and/or international social and public policy
• Professionals working on social policy in international organisations and development agencies, global advocacy agencies and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
• Graduates from social policy, politics, sociology or international studies degrees who want to hone their undergraduate studies in a more focused area of study
• Potential PhD students who want to develop their theoretical and empirical skills in this area.

This Masters course draws on our world-leading research to create a unique nursing curriculum. You'll learn in an environment which values scholarship, social awareness and research.

Through theoretical study, practical experience and reflective discussion, you'll hone your skills in adult nursing. We'll encourage you to develop an intellectual curiosity that will support your development throughout your career.

As a student in the adult field of practice, you'll develop the knowledge and skills necessary to care for people in a wide variety of practice settings. These range from primary care and nursing in the community, to working within a hospital setting in acute and critical care placements, rehabilitation and ongoing care. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team delivering holistic, person-centered care.

You'll graduate ready to register as a highly-skilled nurse, able to provide excellent care to adult patients. You'll be confident undertaking research and using evidence to develop nursing practice.

Develop your knowledge of electronic, electrical, mechanical and mechatronic principles as you learn how to design solutions to today's biggest engineering challenges. You'll work on group engineering design and project work at every stage, incorporating real-world examples with societal impact. This course gives you the flexibility to choose where you want to focus your studies, meaning you can make your degree your own.

We build employability into every aspect of our courses. Alongside developing an in-depth understanding of your subject, you'll gain a range of transferable skills that will allow you to take on a career in a number of sectors and thrive in management roles.

Our course emphasises a high level of craft skill and creativity, combined with critical thought and collaboration. You'll gain scientific and technical training with hands-on experience of sound design, programme creation and artistic decision-making.

We'll teach you through a mix of workshops, lectures, screenings and masterclasses led by leading academics and industry professionals. You'll use industry-standard facilities in a vibrant and supportive environment. You'll realise your own creative and technical projects and develop essential professional skills to pursue a career in industry.

On this MA you will have the opportunity to focus your individual research project on creative production-orientated work. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to focus your individual research project on the technologies behind production and postproduction systems you can apply for the MSc Film and Television Production with Sound.

Our graduates have pursued careers in film and television companies, as well as furthered their academic studies.
