Our part-time course starts in October each year and we'll offer you a structured route tailored to your professional needs. During your studies you'll gain valuable skills.
During Stage 1 (usually one year) you'll be encouraged to study introductory modules which aim to develop your powers of critical reflection and enquiry skills, though you can also choose Stage 2 modules or use credits from pervious study.
Reflecting on Professional Practice - introductory module
This module provides an opportunity for critical reflection on workplace practice and can be linked to courses for newly qualified teachers. You'll produce a portfolio of evidence based on a critically reflective account of a range of workplace experiences and/or critical incidents.
Developing professional enquiry skills - introductory module
This module provides an introduction to research methods through a workplace enquiry, in which you'll research the impact of your practice linked to an identified need (eg to develop assessment for learning skills).
During Stage 2 (usually a further year) you'll carry out further assignments, involving presentation, research, planning and report writing, depending on the modules studied. Current educational issues, coaching and mentoring and managing educational improvement are among topics which you could choose to study.
Change Management in Education
The module aims to develop your understanding of the nature of change management within an education context. You'll critically explore a number of change management theories, writers and approaches before relating them specifically to organisational, professional and personal change projects and issues as they relate to your experience and practice.
Coaching and mentoring in education
The role of mentoring and coaching is now central to adult learning, lifelong learning and continuing professional development (CPD).
You'll critically explore and explain different models and approaches to mentoring and coaching, while addressing current issues and debates in the field. The focus of the module will also include the practical aspects and skills involved in any successful mentoring and coaching relationship.
Current issues in education
This module provides you with the opportunity to consider a range of current issues in education and the impact that they have upon professional practice.
A series of one-off sessions will be delivered by academics drawn from across the School of Education, open to all. You'll explore in greater depth the issues raised in the session and how they relate to professional practice.
Management and leadership in education
This module will provide you with the opportunity to analyse a management or leadership issue of professional interest. It will introduce a range of management theorists and draw on case studies from a range of education/training settings.
Managing educational improvement
This module addresses the sources, collection and analysis of data from educational organisations, set in the context of national policies and improvement models. It will draw on case studies from a range of settings, including international examples.
The traditions and approaches of school effectiveness and school improvement will be introduced, and the ways in which these are reflected in the changing national policy agenda will be discussed.
Research in Professional Practice - flexible module
The module provides input on research skills, which you'll use to undertake a small-scale piece of research in an education or training context, on a negotiated topic of professional relevance. You'll be allocated a supervisor to guide and support you through your research project.
Enhancing Professional Practice - flexible module
This module enables prior learning eg. from courses run by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) or other organisations, or a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) portfolio, to be accredited at Masters level. It also enables you to carry out a highly flexible, negotiated assignment linked to workplace practice.
Stage 3 (a final one year to 18 months) is the culmination of your MA study in which you'll carry out an extended piece of research into professional practice, submitted as a dissertation.
You're required to carry out an in-depth study in an educational area of personal and/or professional interest. It builds on previous study during the course, by giving you an opportunity to explore, in detail, particular methodologies in relation to an identified research interest.
Once you've graduated from this course, you could decide to do further research.
We have a thriving research programme. Your options include studying for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) qualification.
We welcome enquiries from teachers who want to do research into any aspect of education practice or policy, whether this is related to early years, primary, secondary or higher education or lifelong learning.
This course allows those in the field of education to fulfil their continuous professional development needs by providing relevant courses for career enhancement.

Examine the reasons for the rapid growth of China's tourism industry
Tourism and Hotel Development in China: From Political to Economic Success is a comprehensive guide to the development of the tourism industry in Mainland China following the end of the Cultural Revolution. Conceived as a textbook but equally valuable as a professional resource for consultants, researchers, and tourist organizations, this insightful book tracks the unique circumstances that sparked the growth of China's tourism and hotel industry from a political, diplomatic activity to a burgeoning economic industry. The book includes background information on geography, culture, history, politics, and economics, and examines the evolution of tourism policies, inbound vs. outbound travel, hotel operations and trends, and the Chinese government's role in developing tourism.
China may be a latecomer to international tourism development, but visitors have made it one of the world's top 10 travel destinations every year since 1994. Since historic policy shifts in 1978 opened China's doors to the outside world, inbound tourism has played a significant role in building a national economy. And the increase in disposable income among China's citizens has helped create a sizable market for domestic and outbound tourism as well. Tourism and Hotel Development in China looks at the major factors and characteristics of each type of tourism, international hotel development trends and their influence on China's hotel industry, related human resources issues, travel services, the development of hotel chains in China, compensation and incentive management, and the future of China's tourism and hotel industry.
Topics examined in Tourism and Hotel Development in China include:
- travel and tourism, pre-and post-1949
- the Asia market
- the intercontinental market
- international tourism in different regions of China
- popular urban tourist destinations in China
- approved outbound destinations
- outbound travel to Hong Kong
- challenges facing travel services
- local protectionism
- travel agencies
- hotel franchising
- foreign vs. local hotel chains
- outsourcing
- and much more!

Soil heat and moisture processes are interconnected, especially during low temperatures. To examine the interaction between soil temperature and moisture under freeze-thaw cycles, a physical process-based model (CoupModel) coupled with uncertainty analysis was applied to 3-year measurements under seasonal frost conditions from a site in the black soil belt of northeast China. The uncertainty in parameters and measurements was described by general likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE). To identify the degree of linkage between soil temperature and moisture, three criteria were applied to them separately or together. The most sensitive parameters among 26 site-specific parameters were closely related to soil heat, soil evaporation and freeze-thaw processes. Soil temperature was simulated with less uncertainty than soil moisture. Soil temperature measurements had the potential to improve model performance for soil water content, whereas soil moisture measurements demonstrated a trade-off effect when finding a model with good performance for both temperature and moisture. During winter conditions the uncertainty ranges of soil temperature were most pronounced, probably because of the greater complexity of soil properties during the freeze-thaw process and the uncertainty caused by snow properties. The largest uncertainty ranges of both soil water content and soil water storage were found mainly in the deep soil layers. The simulated surface heat fluxes are an important output of the model and it is of great value to compare them with the results from regional climate models and micrometeorological measurements.

(Percutaneous Endoscopic Cecostomy, Laparoscopic Cecostomy Tube Placement, Antegrade Enema)
Cecostomy is a surgical procedure that is used to clear the bowels of fecal matter. It's typically used for children with fecal incontinence related to severe disorders. Fecal incontinence is the inability to control your bowels, which can involve symptoms ranging from severe constipation to having a bowel movement at an unexpected or embarrassing time.
Children with fecal incontinence often have severe constipation. In some cases, liquid fecal matter bypasses the solid fecal matter and leaks out, which can cause embarrassment and frustration for the child.
Cecostomy differs slightly from the traditional enema that is used to relieve constipation. An enema is given directly through the rectum to promote the release of fecal matter. But a cecostomy is known as an "antegrade enema."
In the cecostomy, a tube (catheter) is used for the procedure. This catheter is inserted into the cecum, which is the first portion of the bowel, or large intestines. The cecum is located in the lower right abdomen. Liquid medication is injected into the cecum through this tube, which helps coax the fecal matter out of the body through the rectum.
A cecostomy may be needed for very severe constipation that is not responding to laxatives or other methods of relieving the bowels. If constipation is causing severe pain or other potential bodily harm, then your child's doctor might recommend a cecostomy. Conditions that can lead to severe fecal incontinence that might require a cecostomy include:
An imperforate anus (the anus isn't allowing material to pass properly)
Spinal abnormalities, such as spina bifida
A combination of the two above conditions
Other muscular conditions
Generally, fecal incontinence has to be quite severe and unresponsive to other treatments to require a cecostomy. Most children with fecal incontinence will respond to other methods of treatment that are not quite as invasive.
A cecostomy is generally well-tolerated. Still, the procedure does have some risks involved. These include:
Catheter dislodgement
An infection in the abdomen, known as peritonitis, caused by misplacing the catheter
Mechanical failure of the catheter
Growth of tissue at the catheter site
Bleeding and irritation at the catheter site
Skin infections and other infections around the insertion point for the catheter
Before the cecostomy tube can be inserted, a "bowel prep" may be completed to cleanse the colon.
The bowel preparation includes following a clear-fluid diet for two days before the procedure.
The night before the procedure, your child will likely need to drink an oral solution provided by the doctor. This is a laxative that is used to clean out the bowels.
On the day of the procedure, an abdominal X-ray will be used to ensure that the bowel is free of stool.
The cecostomy tube insertion procedure is one that requires a brief hospital stay, usually around one or two days. This is a general guideline of how the procedure will go:
Doctors will usually use IV sedation (relaxed while awake for the procedure) or a general anesthesia (asleep for the procedure) for cecostomy tube insertion.
Doctors usually inflate the colon with air until the cecum is distended.
The doctor inserts surgical tools through the skin and into the cecum and attaches the bowel to the abdominal wall with stitches, sutures, or fasteners.
The doctor inserts a special hollow needle into the cecum.
A catheter, or narrow tube, is threaded through this needle and into the cecum.
This procedure can also be done laparoscopically. This technique involves placing a laparoscope into the belly button.
The process outlined above is what is required to insert the cecostomy tube. The process of a cecostomy itself will then be done occasionally to relieve the bowels based on individual needs.
Once the cecostomy tube has been inserted, your child will usually stay in the hospital until the next day for observation and to minimize the risks of complications. Your child may need to return to the doctor for a "contrast study." To ensure that the catheter is placed properly. For this test, contrast dye is injected through the catheter and into the cecum. Then an X-ray is used to examine this dye and ensure that it travels into the cecum. Your child may also need to return for replacement of the original catheter tube.
The insertion of the cecostomy tube is just the first step in relieving fecal incontinence through the process of cecostomy. After about a week, you will give your child an antegrade enema through the cecostomy tube at home, with guidance from your child's doctor. This process will involve inserting liquid into the cecostomy tube, which will pass into the cecum to encourage a bowel movement. The frequency of the antegrade enemas through the cecostomy tube that you'll need to do will vary based on your child's needs. Your child's doctor will give you with guidance in this area.
Tell your child's doctor about any of the following:
A noticeable skin infection at the catheter site
Bleeding or swelling at the site
Pus leaking from the site
The catheter becomes dislodged or moves
Abdominal pain
For hygiene and to avoid the risk of complications, your child will likely need to have the catheter removed and replaced occasionally.

A cell phone aims at receiving and transmitting information through cellular standards. It can contain up to six chips, each dedicated to a specific function working on a specific standard. In order to accommodate these different wireless standards, multi-band multi-standard devices are highly desired. A Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) can tune to any frequency band, select any reasonable channel bandwidth, and detect any known modulation. A SDR is a one-chip solution which covers all the radio spectrum. This paper presents the design of an analog discrete-time device located in a RF Front End receiver, between the antenna and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). It uses the principle of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to fulfil the SDR purpose. An application to RF digital modulation is exhibited.

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Anseriformes
Family: Anatidae
Genus: Anas
Species: A. platyrhynchos
Binomial name
Anas platyrhynchos
The Mallard was one of the many bird species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th-century work, Systema Naturae, and still bears its original binomial name.3
"Mallard" is derived from the Old French malart or mallart "wild drake", although its ultimate derivation is unclear. It may be related to an Old High German masculine proper name Madelhart, clues lying in the alternate English forms "maudelard" or "mawdelard".4
Mallards frequently interbreed with their closest relatives in the genus Anas, such as the American Black Duck, and also with species more distantly related, for example the Northern Pintail, leading to various hybrids that may be fully fertile.5 This is quite unusual among different species, and apparently is because the Mallard evolved very rapidly and recently, during the Late Pleistocene. The distinct lineages of this radiation are usually kept separate due to non-overlapping ranges and behavioural cues, but are still not fully genetically incompatible.[citation needed] Mallards and their domesticated conspecifics are, of course, also fully interfertile.
Mallards appear to be closer to their Indo-Pacific relatives than to their American ones judging from biogeography. Considering mtDNA D-loop sequence data,6 they may have evolved in the general area of Siberia; Mallard bones rather abruptly appear in food remains of ancient humans and other deposits of fossil bones in Europe, without a good candidate for a local predecessor species.[citation needed] The large ice age paleosubspecies which made up at least the European and west Asian populations during the Pleistocene has been named Anas platyrhynchos palaeoboschas.[citation needed]
Haplotypes typical of American Mallard relatives and Spotbills can be found in Mallards around the Bering Sea.7 The Aleutian Islands hold a population of Mallards that appear to be evolving towards a subspecies, as gene flow with other populations is very limited.6
The size of the Mallard varies clinally, and birds from Greenland, although larger than birds further south, have smaller bills and are stockier. They are sometimes separated as subspecies, the Greenland Mallard (A. p. conboschas). Read more
