U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Students are required to write a dissertation based on research work of an advanced and original nature performed by them during the Course. The dissertation, to which 85 credits are assigned, will describe this research and present results and conclusions in a scholarly manner. The dissertation will generally be laboratory/field-based (i.e. experimental/observational) in nature although in specific cases it would be acceptable for the work to be based on literature research, provided that an original contribution is made (e.g. meta-analysis, modelling etc).

Mathematics underlies the pursuit of every scientific endeavour. The Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Science satisfies this need by contributing to joint Honours degrees with other science disciplines such as Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Biology and Computing Science, as well as Banking and Finance. Besides it also provides courses to other Faculties, such as those of Education, Engineering, the Built Environment and ICT. The number of students taking Mathematics as a principal subject for their B.Sc.(Hons) has now stabilised at about 50 per year.

A wide range of skills are developed throughout the course, including computing and modelling, mathematical skills, navigation, mapping (for a variety of end-purposes), analytical field and laboratory techniques, research design and implementation, quantitative and qualitative data interpretation and analysis, and critical problem solving. Many of these skills are transferable to on-the-job scenarios and to other life situations. Furthermore, students are trained to be able to liaise and communicate with a wide audience, and to work successfully in interdisciplinary teams.

Earth Systems Science is an emerging field of study, and the B.Sc. (Hons) in Earth Systems transcends disciplinary boundaries in order to adopt an integrated and holistic approach to the study of our planet. It considers the various physical components of the Earth’s system and interactions between these, whilst framing issues of environmental change within a broader context of environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability. The emphasis is on developing an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented outlook, providing sound scientific research skills along with a hands-on approach.

This programme has a broad multi-disciplinary focus covering theoretical/applied linguistics, computational linguistics, as well as topics in computer science and AI. Since it is aimed for students with different backgrounds, the 1st year covers a number of ‘foundational’ topics, spanning the core areas of computer science, programming, statistics, discrete mathematics and theoretical linguistics. The second and third years place more emphasis on Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing applications.

Mathematics underlies the pursuit of every scientific endeavour. The Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Science satisfies this need by contributing to joint Honours degrees with other science disciplines such as Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Biology and Computing Science, as well as Banking and Finance. Besides it also provides courses to other Faculties, such as those of Education, Engineering, the Built Environment and ICT. The number of students taking Mathematics as a principal subject for their B.Sc.(Hons) has now stabilised at about 50 per year.

The Doctor of Medicine and Surgery is a five year degree course. The content is delivered as modules which are largely based on systems. The course is divided into preclinical and clinical phases which are spread out over several semesters. The teaching and learning is a mix of traditional didactic teaching, such as lectures, tutorials and small group teaching) as well as problem based learning where appropriate. In the preclinical years it also includes practicals (e.g. anatomy dissection) and in the clinical years bedside teaching, shadowing, observation, etc.

This course focuses on the link between scientific knowledge, experimentation and application. The student will develop a strong foundation in processes that determine the functions of the cell and the human body. This includes the chemical, cellular, genetic, metabolic and homeostatic aspects of biochemistry. The student will appreciate the chemical basis of life, the molecular basis of disease and the transition from research to product development with reference to clinical trials.

The overall aim of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Social Work programme is to equip students with the necessary social work knowledge, values and skills required to practise as a social worker. This is done through the teaching of a variety of study units, some of which are theory based and others which are practice based. Since the course is generic in nature it seeks to provide students with knowledge, skills and abilities which will lend themselves useful in any practice setting.

The B.A. and B.A.(Hons) are the Faculty’s staple undergraduate degrees. They differ from each other mainly in that the B.A. is spread equally over two areas of study, whereas the B.A.(Hons) focuses on a single area, with a secondary area as subsidiary. All undergraduate students follow two areas of study during the first year, but those who wish and qualify to proceed to the honours track continue with one area of study, in addition to a limited number of credits in the subsidiary area to be taken during the second year.
