“The journey of this MA for me has been one of self discovery and learning” “Chichester has given me the confidence to discover and develop myself as a dance artist due to the support, encouragement and guidance of the exceptional teachers here. The MA performance dance course offers a huge range of experiences and opportunities, including working as part of Mapdance Company with world renowned choreographers, who have continually inspired and helped prepare me for a career in the dance profession. The journey of this MA for me has been one of self discovery and learning, I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about moving and enthusiastic about wholly emerging themselves into the world of dance.”

Student profile: Andrew Collinson, MSc Sports and Exercise Biomechanics

“I have found the facilities to be first class” “I have been studying at Chichester for nearly a year and have been pleasantly surprised by the experience. The academic staff have always been very helpful and I feel that I have gained considerable knowledge from their teaching, commitment and their expertise. I have also found the facilities to be first class together with both the equipment and instrumentation at the university. Together with the overall relaxed and friendly environment that the university offers, I would strongly recommend prospective students to register on one of the postgraduate courses here.”

The

Local Area Close-knit friendly community Students at our University thrive on the close-knit friendly community of a compact campus. This positive and rewarding environment allows students to form lasting friendships with their peers and lecturers very quickly. At Chichester you really do feel part of university life, and one that you can fully participate in should you wish to do so. You will experience life in Chichester’s bustling, historic Cathedral City and be able to relax by the sea on Bognor Regis beach. Both Chichester and Bognor Regis are set in the stunning county of West Sussex, on England’s South Coast – officially the country’s sunniest region, achieving around 1,855 hours of sunshine each year, which is an average of nearly five hours a day! West Sussex is the perfect location for anyone wanting to live on the coast as it is an important sailing and water sports centre. You will be surrounded by beautiful countryside and traditional villages, just over 90 minutes from London. City of Chichester If you fancy spending your university days in an historic yet vibrant Cathedral city, where high culture and café culture meet, then Chichester is the place for you. The picturesque city centre has developed around a market cross with four main shopping streets providing a variety of restaurants, pubs and retail therapy. The cobbled streets, traditional buildings and imposing cathedral reflect its Roman history and provide a spectacular backdrop.

Chichester provides great shopping, bars and restaurants, with the creative influence of art galleries (the Pallant House Gallery is a must see for art lovers), museums and theatres, including the internationally renowned Chichester Festival Theatre. Each year you can be part of a summer feast of the arts at the ‘Chichester Festivities’ between the end of June and mid July. The festivities include theatre, dance, film and art exhibitions. Chichester Gate, to the south of the city, is home to a multiplex ten-screen cinema showing all the latest box office films, a bowling complex and a number of bars and eateries. Bognor Regis Over the past half century Bognor Regis has been ahead of its South Coast rivals in the battle to be the sunshine capital of the UK. The main attraction of this popular tourist resort, hailed as “the jewel in the South Coast”, is its long stretch of coastline, with a mixture of sandy and pebble beaches. Here you can relax, take long walks or enjoy sailing, windsurfing, jet-skiing and many other water sports. Attractions include those you would expect from a traditional English seaside resort, from having your palm read by a fortune teller to eating candy floss on the pier and challenging your friends at crazy golf! The campus is just five minutes’ walk, through a beautiful park, from the centre of Bognor Regis. There students can find a range of shopping facilities, numerous traditional pubs, bars and restaurants as well as three nightclubs for partying until the early hours.

University

Campuses Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester Bishop Otter is a beautiful, compact campus close to the heart of the City. There is plenty of green space to relax in and the desirable combination of attractive, historic buildings and excellent, modern facilities. The campus was founded in memory of William Otter, Bishop of Chichester, in 1840 and the original parts of the University still retain a strong sense of history alongside our many state-of-the-art facilities. August 2004 saw the grand opening of our impressive Students’ Union building which includes ZeeBar, a large, stylish, 650 capacity café-style bar that, by night, transforms into a fantastic venue providing regular club nights and live performances. This provides the focal point for our larger events such as our Graduation, Christmas and Summer Balls.

The ShowRoom, Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester

artOne - our purpose-built Fine Art building was opened in 2002. It was designed to maximise the amount of natural light that enters the building. Every May, Fine Art students hold their degree show here in a public exhibition. The ShowRoom, our recently converted 250-seater theatre, boasts technologically advanced sound and light equipment and is used mainly by our Dance and Performing Arts departments. Adjacent to the ShowRoom are the Dance studios, and four brand new purpose-built performance spaces, completed in 2006. On campus we have a large refectory (a buzzing meeting point), a smaller café for students and staff (Holts) and a variety of well-equipped teaching rooms and lecture theatres. If your pen runs out just before a lecture, there is an on-campus shop for stationery and other daily essentials. Our award-winning Learning Resources Centre - LRC (see page 23) is a modern facility with an extensive and regularly refreshed library. The LRC is the perfect spot if you need some quiet time for individual study or a convenient space for group work. Use it for research, or simply to sit and read the daily newspapers. Bluetooth wireless connections can be found in the LRC and also the refectory.

The Council regards the University as a partner of choice for many of its own research and training and development requirements. We believe the University is genuinely community-based and makes a huge contribution to the county, in particular the focus for education-led regeneration along the West Sussex coast."

22 Student profile: Loree Westron, English

A Chichester post-graduate has been hailed by the organisers of one of Europe’s most prestigious creative writing competitions for her “unprecedented” achievement. Loree Westron succeeded in getting no fewer than THREE stories on the shortlist for The Fish Prize, an Irelandbased fiction competition which attracts thousands of entries from across the world. The organisers wrote to Loree to congratulate her on becoming the first writer to notch up a shortlist hat-trick. Afterwards the modest Loree admitted that her “head is spinning” at being informed that her achievement is “unprecedented”. She puts a good deal of the credit down to her experience on the MA in Creative Writing at the University.

Learning Resources Centre, (LRC), Bishop Otter Campus

Libraries and Learning Resources Chichester provides a high quality integrated learning environment at both campuses, daytime, evenings and weekends, with a considerable range and number of study places and networked computers, and support from library and IT staff. Bishop Otter Campus The prize-winning Learning Resources Centre (LRC) was opened in 1997 and includes a substantial library collection of over 180,000 items with a range of areas for quiet study, group study and facilities for use of laptops and playback of CDs and DVDs. The library resources include books, journals, videos, DVDs, music CDs and art slides. There are also special collections in certain fields, notably: • Theology

• History

• Dance

• English

Media equipment can be borrowed by students from the Equipment Loans counter, including video and still cameras, sound and lighting equipment and projection equipment. The Media Centre offers access to specialist multimedia software and video editing in an iMac environment. The Otter Gallery, situated at the centre of the LRC, offers a wide range of exhibitions by many different local and emerging artists, staff and students. The Gallery also presents an annual show of works from the Bishop Otter Collection (an important collection of twentieth century British art). Bognor Regis Campus Here the learning resources facilities are divided between the John Parry Library with collections to support the following departments: Applied Language Studies, Business and Management and Education; and the neighbouring IT Centre with several open access computing rooms. This library has a substantial children’s resources collection to support school experience.

Staff Support All these facilities are supported by a team of Subject Librarians, who will offer you advice and training in information retrieval skills and the use of specialist electronic databases, and Information Assistants, who provide help with use of the library seven days a week. Assistance with computer use and access to our online portal service (Portia) is available from the student IT help desks. Loans Taught postgraduate students can borrow up to 15 items from the library collections and research students up to 25. These totals can be supplemented by Inter-Library-Loans (books and photocopied articles from the British Library). E-Resources The library collections are supplemented by a growing collection of on-line information resources which can be accessed through the University’s Portia portal system. Over 5,000 periodical titles and 46,000 E-books are available electronically. Portia can also be used to access course information, lecture notes and the library catalogue. Use of Other Libraries The SCONUL Access scheme enables all taught postgraduate and research students and staff to access university research collections across the country. The University library staff will advise and assist with the use of this co-operative scheme.

The

Otter Gallery The Permanent Collection

A centre for artistic activity The Otter Gallery is a contemporary art space that encourages engagement, discussion and participation with visual art. The Otter Gallery is placed deliberately at the heart of the University's Learning Resources Centre and represents the University's commitment to providing a centre for artistic activity in the region. Its mission is to increase the understanding and appreciation of art and to enhance people's lives through the provision of a varied programme of exhibitions, outreach activities and other events related to the visual arts. Historical background The University derives from an institution formed from a merger of Bishop Otter College, founded in 1840, and the Bognor Regis College founded in 1946. Both colleges had strong commitments to education in the arts. These traditions were enhanced by a national sentiment during the Second World War that Britain's artistic treasures must be protected at all costs and the government recognised, even in the midst of war, the value of art to the national morale. In post-war Britain the newly founded Arts Council promoted a vision of the integration of the arts with education. This perception was a fundamental driving force behind the creation and the development of the Bishop Otter art collection during the 1950s and 1960s. It was believed that the display of original works of art would have a profound and civilising effect on students throughout their life at the college.

There are few university galleries which have a permanent collection with works by artists as distinguished as Stanley Spencer, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Peter Lanyon and Patrick Heron. These and other outstanding artists are represented by notable works in the Otter Gallery's permanent collection. The story of the development of this collection is a remarkable example of responding to the challenges of new forms of art in Britain in the second half of the 20th century. While the collection comprises mainly paintings, it also includes fabrics, ceramics, sculpture and major religious works of art such as the altar Aubusson tapestry in the University Chapel designed by Jean Lurcat. Some items in the collection have been displayed in national galleries, for example the Tate, and in galleries abroad. A principal policy of the Gallery is to provide access to the collection as a source of inspiration for students of the University, people in the local communities such as artists, designers, craftspeople and others working in the creative professions. Exhibitions display items from the permanent collection on a rotating basis, so that visitors can see the whole collection over the years. There are occasional exhibitions where practising artists produce new works of art inspired by items from the collection. In addition, the picture of the month on show throughout the year displays a major item from the collection. This is accompanied by free information sheets interpreting the artwork and providing background for visitors. Researchers, particularly students and staff from the University are welcome to study and research items from the collection. The protection and promotion of the collection remains at the centre of the Otter Gallery's activities.

Exhibition by Fine Art Students

Exhibitions The Gallery hosts up to ten exhibitions each year, which enhance knowledge of contemporary art through different media. These exhibitions offer opportunities for emerging artists to display their work in a public gallery and for established artists to provide examples of good practice and creative excellence to visitors and the students of the University. Artists exhibiting in the Gallery often provide seminars where students and members of the public can hear about and discuss the creation of the works of art on display. These are often carried out in association with the Fine Art Department which also has a research seminar programme. Outreach Activities Outreach activities are an important part of the Gallery's activities. The Gallery collaborates with the education and youth services and individual schools to promote and develop programmes aimed at enhancing the artistic talents of young people and encouraging their lifelong learning. Students of the University have the opportunity to work with the Gallery in a variety of ways. It is possible for students to curate one of the exhibitions. Students may also help with seminars, publicity and outreach activities. The Gallery can provide useful work experience particularly for students who wish to work in commercial or public galleries.

European and International Exchanges xperience

Taking part in an exchange can be a great learning experience and allows you to discover another culture and gain a fresh perspective on your field of study. We run a number of exchanges with partner universities around the world, giving students the opportunity to spend part of their degree studying at a university abroad. Whilst abroad, students follow a programme at their host institution that is recognised by Chichester. Erasmus The University is part of the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erasmus programme, which enables students to go on study exchanges and work placements with partners from across Europe. The programme encourages co-operation between European universities and helps participating students by giving them a grant to help fund their time abroad. Erasmus is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate students

Staff profile: Alison MacLeod, Senior Lecturer, English and Creative Writing

“Alison MacLeod has written a stunning novel [with] characters who charm, beguile and refuse well-trodden paths. This is a wonderful tale, beautifully written and yet steeped in the myth that it deservedly explodes” Review of The Changeling, New Statesman Dr Alison MacLeod joined the English Department at the University in 1990 and lectures on both the BA and MA creative writing programmes. She also supervises doctoral students who are working on novels, short story collections and theses on contemporary fiction. Over the years, the Creative Writing team at Chichester have received commendations from students and examiners alike, with many of our students going on to publish work that has been conceived and honed in our workshops, seminars and tutorials. The Department has established a strong national reputation in the field, and we are proud to support a dynamic community of writers. To date, Alison has published two novels, The Changeling (Macmillan, 1996) and The Wave Theory of Angels (Penguin, 2005). Her work has been widely published both here and abroad, and her recent short story collection, Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction, was named as one of the top ten ‘Books to Talk About in 2009’, a part of World Book Day events. She is currently working on her fourth book, which will be published by Penguin in 2010. Review of Fifteen Modern Tales of Attraction: “Alison MacLeod’s collection is a baker’s dozen of excellence book-ended by brilliance… At the core of the ‘tale’ – and these are modern fables that unravel reality as much as create it – is a series of complex mediations on the idea of attraction… The whole is ably piloted by MacLeod’s total control of her material. Highly recommended.” Time Out (London and Sydney)

EYPS Early Years Professional Status (EYPS)

Course Information The University of Chichester has been appointed as a provider of the Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) programme by the Children’s Workforce Development Council (CWDC) and works in partnership with Canterbury Christ Church University. Early Years Professionals are key to raising the quality of early years provision and are ‘change agents’ to improve practice. They will lead practice across the Early Years Foundation Stage, support other practitioners and model the skills and behaviours that safeguard and support children. EYPS is not a qualification but a new status that recognises the expertise of practitioners and their professional leadership skills. Graduates with an HE level 6 degree and a wide range of experience and qualifications, working in a range of settings and roles, are potential candidates for EYPS. Practitioners who have relevant experience and a level 5 Early Years Foundation Degree are also eligible to undertake training for EYPS which will include a ‘top-up’ to the required level 6. They must be working in the private, voluntary or independent early years settings or in children’s centres. It is possible for graduates with an unrelated degree to undertake the full pathway to EYPS for which a bursary is available.

EYPS

Indicative Course Content

Attendance

EYPs will be trained to: • Work as part of a team in early years settings or wider children’s services • Take responsibility for leading and managing play, care and learning • Have a secure and up-to-date knowledge and understanding of early years practice with children from birth to five • Be skilled and reflective practitioners

The duration and frequency depends on the length of the pathway and the requirements of the candidate’s personalised training plan.

The training will enable them to demonstrate that they meet a set of national graduate-level EYP standards when working with children from birth to five years. The length of each candidate’s training pathway is based on the relevance and level of their qualifications and experience and is determined through consultation in preliminary interviews when a personalised training plan is drawn up. It may be as short as four months, for those already close to meeting the national standards, or as long as fifteen months for those needing further experience before undertaking the validation process.

Assessment All candidates, irrespective of their training programme, undertake the same assessment process: • A one-day review of skills to provide feedback to candidates • Five written assessment tasks based on experiences of early years practice • A one-day assessment visit to the candidate’s setting

All candidates will attend the Validation Preparation Sessions and carry out a programme of professional development. In addition, those ‘topping-up’ their Foundation Degree will undertake a programme of study which will enable them to gain the required level 6 degree. Some candidates may be required to gain experience, in their own or another setting, with an age range of children with whom they have not regularly worked.

Management Foundation Degree in Management

Course Information The Foundation Degree in Management (FDM) is a part time programme designed to address the needs of employees working in a management or supervisory role. It aims to equip participants to understand the nature of the organisation in which they work, the roles they are called upon to play, and how they might enhance their own performance in pursuit of their chosen careers. The FDM offers a mix of academic and vocational study that encourages participants to develop within their work environment and to be reflective, lifelong learners.

Indicative Course Content Employers can select from three programme options: • The full FD programme • Individual modules • Individual workshop sessions.

Social Work

At Masters level your critical, analytical and research skills will be stretched and utilised as you undertake a dissertation arising out of an in-depth study which will relate theory, research and practice.

Indicative Course Content The two-year programme consists of two contrasting practice placements undertaken alongside University-based learning. Practice-based Learning • Social Work Practice. Students undertake two different placements in contrasting practice settings. Your work is supported by practice assessors and you work in teams alongside others who work in the field of social care and associated professions. University-based Learning • A Personal and Professional Development Sequence. This focuses on the importance of communication skills and understanding the impact of yourself in your social work role in relationship to others in a social and political context. Complex practice dilemmas are explored and analysed. Critical practice incidents are unpicked using a problem-based learning approach and professional values and accountability are uncovered as you develop your social work identity. The impact of your practice, recognition of the impact of power relations, diversity and your role in maximising social justice and welfare are examples of topics covered during this element of the programme.

• Knowledge in Relation to the Context and Practice of Social Work. Students will acquire knowledge for social work, including a consideration of ethics, power and values and the underpinning legal and policy frameworks for practice. Social work approaches and methods are examined and students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the key issues which inform contemporary practices. • Advancing and Deepening your Knowledge and Research Skills. At Masters level you will demonstrate (through a dissertation) understanding and application of research methods. You undertake research in an area which has the potential to benefit users of social work services as well as deepening your knowledge and skills.

Assessment You will need to demonstrate that you have the necessary knowledge, skills and values of social work through written and practical assignments and practice portfolios and you must demonstrate Masters level standards through written papers and a dissertation.

Professional Studies MA Professional Studies * Including pathways to the GSCC Higher, Specialist and Advanced Social Work Awards * subject to approval

Course Information Mindful of the transformations in approaches to service design and delivery with people who use services and carers firmly at the centre of service design, the University offers this new programme to health, social care and all other professionals who, when working together, contribute to people being able to lead ordinary and valued lives. The programme will also be of value and interest to appropriately qualified staff working in integrated teams providing services to the community, to individuals and to families. The programme replicates the interconnectedness of professions and assists in developing interprofessional approaches to service provision. The approach to learning adopted by this programme puts the learner at the centre of the learning experience, and recognises the capacity for individuals to manage their own ‘learning journey’ with the support of their cohort, their learning facilitator and academic tutor. The programme provides the opportunity for individualised and group learning which has a positive application in practice. It also provides opportunities for individuals to explore the nature of challenge and complexity in the achievement of effective interprofessional working, the complexity of decision making processes, the nature of risk and its management in the interprofessional context, the nature of collaborative and partnership working, issues concerned with power relationships and issues concerning the evolving ideas of practice and service delivery.

The programme is designed to enable participants to focus on their area of practice (adults, young people, children, families) as the ‘major’ focus of learning; however, participants are also able to choose to develop other areas of expertise through the programme (leadership and management and practice education are examples) as a ‘minor focus’.

Indicative Course Content The programme is designed to enable participants to develop their individual approach to learning through the completion of a Personal Development Plan which will be the template for each student in the design of their learning. Participants on this programme form syndicate groups which are instrumental in developing self managed approaches to learning and development. The programme allows students to import learning from modules or training courses offered at other institutions. Groups of students, or employers, may also commission or request specific teaching/training input on issues or themes that are relevant to their area of practice. Consequently, the programme provides a flexible and responsive framework that enables experienced practitioners to develop professionally • Individuals completing the first module will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate.

Psychology of Sport and Exercise MSc Psychology of Sport and Exercise Science

Course Information This is a one-year full time (with part time routes available) programme of study designed for graduates seeking to develop specialist knowledge in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Within the past decade there has been a marked growth in the career opportunities available for sport and exercise psychologists (eg teaching in further and higher education, English Institute of Sport). With this growth, there has also been an increased need for appropriately qualified and accredited individuals to fill such positions. The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences has developed procedures for the accreditation of suitably experienced individuals that stipulate the possession of a relevant form of postgraduate qualification. The MSc in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, therefore, provides students with an opportunity to study at a postgraduate level to fulfil the initial requirements for BASES accreditation, to develop their knowledge of the sport and exercise sciences and to increase their skills in applying such knowledge in both sporting and exercise populations.

The programme also provides a relevant, accessible route that meets the needs of other language professionals (text book developers, interpreters and translators) working in a variety of educational contexts. At present it is offered on a part-time basis in Japan, and is taught by the University of Chichester's Applied Language Studies staff at prestigious, well resourced teaching centres in Tokyo, combined with e-supervision of module assignments.

Research at Chichester RAE 2008

Facilities and Resources

In the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 the University of Chichester entered five specialist areas in Sports-Related Studies, English Language and Literature, Theology Divinity and Religious Studies, History, and Drama, Dance and Performing Arts. This rigorous national peer review process confirmed that three quarters of the research entered at the University has been rated in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 as being ‘internationally recognised or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour’. The University compares favourably with other similar Higher Education Institutions and has been lauded as one of only a handful of ‘rising stars’ due its significant rise up the league tables published by the Times Higher Education.

All postgraduate students have free access to seminars, conferences and specialist resources contained in the Learning Resources Centre (LRC) with its library, computer and media facilities at the Bishop Otter Campus and the John Parry Library at the Bognor Regis Campus. Both of these facilities are open in the evenings and at weekends during semester time. The Sports Activity and Research Centre (SARC) in the sports science area provides a range of facilities for research in sports and related areas as well as excellent recreational amenities accessible to all students.

Research Staff At Chichester the majority of staff are involved in research and scholarship and this underpins the high quality teaching of the University’s courses. Academic staff are involved in consultancy with private and public sector organisations, work with professional associations, acting as advisers on government bodies, conducting research, and work in collaboration with academics at home and abroad. This activity supports the taught postgraduate courses in this prospectus. More than half of our academic staff are involved in teaching MA/MSc courses and approximately 50 members of staff are available to supervise students who wish to pursue MPhil or PhD awards by research. University research staff are well connected with colleagues working in other universities in this country and abroad, and many are involved in collaborative projects with staff in other institutions.

Research Supervisors For details of all University staff who are eligible to supervise research students at either MPhil or PhD level, please see the Experts’ Directory, pages 110 to 123. All staff who act as research supervisors have strong publication records and extensive academic experience; all research supervisors also receive regular training and updating for the role. All students will have the support of at least two supervisors throughout the lifetime of their project. Students can undertake research within Dance, English, History, Music, Performing Arts, Physical Education, Social Policy, Sport and Theology. Visiting Fellows and Professors Chichester is fortunate in being able to call upon the services of a large number of Visiting Fellows and Professors from other universities and organisations in the UK and overseas, many of whom lend their support to Faculty research seminars, training events and supervision of students.

Research Students Research opportunities for postgraduates are provided in carefully selected areas which have strong staff expertise and excellent resources. The University aims to fulfil the research aspirations of people in its region by building and maintaining a strong, supportive research environment and, by so doing, continue Chichester’s mission to widen participation at all levels of our work. The University offers a number of bursaries to postgraduate students and details can be provided by the Research and Employer Engagement Office. Research students at Chichester come from all walks of life and from all age groups. There is a growing number of full-time students and a large cohort of postgraduates are opting to study part time in order to enable them to fit in busy home and work commitments. Currently, we have over 75 postgraduate research students engaged in study in the fields of Sport, History, Dance and Performing Arts, Theology, English and Social Policy. Departments taking research students run regular research seminars, mount conferences and often contribute to the work of research centres. Research students should expect to commit between 10 and 15 hours per week for study on a part time basis. A typical MPhil thesis is approximately 50,000 words or equivalent, while a typical PhD is normally 75,000 words or equivalent. The term ‘equivalence’ has come into use because often theses now entail non-text based elements. The prime example here is the development of Practice-Based Doctorates in the Performing Arts. The University of Chichester welcomes enquiries in relation to the latter and, likewise, colleagues in English welcome applications relating to Creative Writing. Chichester has an accreditation agreement with the University of Southampton. Students are able to study for research degrees at Chichester, be taught and supervised by University of Chichester staff and gain a University of Southampton MPhil or PhD. How to Apply Applicants for research degrees should discuss their research interests initially with a potential academic supervisor who may be approached directly, or through the Research and Employer Engagement Office (pgrsupport@chi.ac.uk) or the Admissions department (admissions@chi.ac.uk).

Once an appropriate supervisor has been found who is able to supervise the chosen research area, potential applicants should commence the application process. Students may consider joining the probationer MPhil scheme, designed to support students in the development of their research ideas, particularly if they have been out of education for some time. An application form should be completed in discussion with the supervisor with an outline proposal on the Probationer MPhil form and submitted to the Admissions Office. Potential applicants will be given an unconditional offer and registered for a research degree after careful scrutiny of their proposal: • Within the relevant subject area • By the University’s Research Degrees Group • By the External Research Degrees Committee of the University of Southampton The subject area will take account of the field in which the student wishes to work, the availability of resources, the nature of current research strengths and the particular needs of the student for facilities. Entry Requirements The normal requirement for an MPhil/PhD is: • An honours degree (first or upper second class) • And/or a relevant masters degree Candidates with other qualifications are considered individually on their merits. While most applicants do come with an MA or MSc, a good Honours degree with a sound dissertation and excellent references will certainly be viewed favourably. Experience in the workplace, which is directly related to the research area, may also be taken into account. All candidates commence registration for an MPhil and there is a rigorous upgrade procedure before moving to PhD status.

Probationer MPhil Scheme

Specialist Centres and Facilities

The University currently runs a Probationer MPhil scheme whereby candidates may register for six tutorials in order to carry out feasibility studies of various kinds including some testing of interest, materials, methods and resolve. Typically, the six tutorials take place over the course of a year. Candidates have found this scheme of great benefit when submitting formal research proposals and applying for funding, whether at Chichester or elsewhere.

In light of particular research strengths in staffing and resources, the following specialist centres and facilities are available at the University:

Full Registration for MPhil or MPhil/PhD Students may register for a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) or a Master of Philosophy/Doctor of Philosophy (MPhil/PhD), indicating their intention to transfer at a later date. Duration The usual time taken to complete a part time MPhil is between two and six years. A part time PhD normally takes between three and seven years. A full time MPhil may take one to two years, and a full time PhD three to four years. Payment of Fees Please refer to page 35. Chichester as a Base for Research Students Chichester is known as a City of Learning because of the range of facilities and resources that may be found within a few square miles. The city hosts a large College of Further Education as well as the University, and is proud of its specialist cathedral library, a large local history centre and is also home to the West Sussex County Records Office. Pallant House, a famous regional art gallery, complements the work of the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Otter Gallery. Local museums may be found in abundance and just outside the city lies the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum and the Amberley Working Museum, two famous open air museums. The Chichester district boasts the largest concentration of listed buildings in the county. The University has all this within relatively easy access to London by rail and to nearby universities at Southampton, Portsmouth, Sussex and Brighton.

Mathematics Centre This is one of the largest centres at the University specialising in research in Mathematics Education. It provides consultancy, leads projects and undertakes research in the UK and overseas, advising Education Authorities worldwide. Sport, Exercise and Health-Related Sciences Facilities These facilities provide a particularly strong base for research, teaching, consultancy, and preparation programmes to elite performers in a variety of sports, including Olympic medal winners and other international competitors and teams. The laboratories provide the opportunity to conduct research in environmental physiology, exercise biochemistry, biomechanics, psychology and healthâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;related topics. Sociological and pedagogical research is also supported by an experienced staffing base. The George Bell Institute The George Bell Institute is an international body of scholars and thinkers from many disciplines and backgrounds. Its thirty Fellows live and work across Europe, in the African states, in India and North America. A number of these will visit Chichester during the course of an academic year, not least to give talks, to teach and to meet other scholars at the University. This presence does much to ensure that research at the University relates readily and fruitfully to a wide realm of thought and intellectual life internationally.

Staff profile: Dr Julia Potter, Senior Lecturer in Physical Education

“Julia’s research interests are in the relationships between lifestyle, activity and health, and much of her research work has focussed on factors related to childhood obesity in both clinical and education settings.” Julia Potter has been researching at the University for a number of years having completed her PhD here in 1998, before returning to her current post in Physical Education in 2000. Julia’s research interests are in the relationships between lifestyle, activity and health, and much of her research work has focussed on factors related to childhood obesity in both clinical and education settings. This began in 2001 when St Richard’s hospital teamed up with Physical Education at Chichester to generate and run a Childhood obesity intervention programme; this was ahead of its time for secondary care and exercise science. Since then there has been a plethora of studies and interventions but those early insights enabled Julia to make applications for industry research grants. Julia was the first Brit to be awarded the international Tanita, ‘Healthy Weight Community Trust Grant’ and so far the only person to have been awarded it twice. These grants financed child health work in local secondary schools which informed practice at a local and county council level and was used by the Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt in the Houses of Parliament as an example of good practice, of community projects aimed at improving child health. This and other childhood obesity research carried out by Julia and colleagues was nominated for, and won an international scientific award at the European Congress on Obesity in 2008. This work in childhood obesity has led to consultancy work for Kellogg’s Health and Well-Being Trust and invitations to speak at National and International conferences for a range of professions. Julia is currently hoping to get projects off the ground with colleagues working at Great Ormond Street and Surrey and Sussex medical school and schools aiming to pull together a range of the factors that impact on child health.

Research News Blondie Drummer Launches Research to Investigate the Mental and Health Benefits of Playing Drumming-Based Interactive Computer Games Blondie drummer Clem Burke teamed up with researchers from the University of Chichester and the University of Gloucestershire to launch a new research initiative which will investigate the potential health and mental benefits of playing drumming-based interactive computer games. The research project, was launched in front of over 300 local businesses, community groups and school children, during February at the University of Chichester, West Sussex. It is a collaboration between the Clem Burke Drumming Project and Activision (manufacturers of Guitar Hero World Tour), and it will explore what effects popular games can have on childhood and adult obesity, autism and stroke patients. Investigations will also centre on whether interactive video games can aid stress release and improve productivity in the workplace. At the launch Clem Burke said: 'I am really pleased with the collaboration between the Clem Burke Drumming Project and Activision. Guitar Hero World Tour brings the mental and physical challenge of playing the drums to a whole new generation of players. As a research tool Guitar Hero World Tour will enable my colleagues Dr. Marcus Smith (University of Chichester) and Dr. Steve Draper (University of Gloucestershire) to undertake some very interesting research examining the potential mental health and well-being of playing the drums. The Clem Burke Drumming Project is all about promoting the benefits of drumming and our collaboration with Activision will take us to the next level. We very much look forward to working with other individuals or organisations keen to promote the positive benefits of playing the drums'. Dr. Marcus Smith, Principal Lecturer in Exercise Physiology, at the University of Chichester, said: “We are interested in finding out how interactive video games,

such as Guitar Hero World Tour, can improve the health and mental well-being of people. Despite a global recession, sales of interactive video games remain high. As researchers we are interested in understanding why such games are so appealing and how they may be used to investigate specific research questions. We are particularly interested in examining the effects of playing Guitar Hero World Tour on child and adult obesity, autism, stroke patients, disengaged communities, and health and mental well-being in the workplace. “We are also very excited about investigating the potential benefits of introducing interactive video games into the workplace. Offices around the UK could be transformed into ‘rock venues’, resulting in stress release and fun for the staff, and increased productivity for the business. We are also intrigued to monitor the number of individuals who progress from playing interactive drums kit controllers to full kits similar to those played by Clem.” Ian McClellan, senior brand manager from Activision, added: “We hope this collaboration will show the benefits of drumming, either on Guitar Hero World Tour’s drum kit controller or a full kit and prove a physiological route between the two. We fully expect some of the next generation of drummers to have graduated from Guitar Hero World Tour – and hope this research project encourages more videogamers to progress to the real instruments.” The Clem Burke Drumming Project (CBDP) is a unique collaboration between Clem Burke, the University of Chichester and University of Gloucestershire and was set up in July 2008.

Health and fitness for older people

Dr Iain Greenlees

Dr Melissa Day

Chichester sport psychologists present their research at national conference Two sport psychologists from the University of Chichester recently presented their research at a national conference organised by the British Psychological Society in London. The event, “Psychology for All”, held at the University of Westminster in Central London, had the aim of “taking psychology to the British public”, presenting the work of psychologists to lay audiences to increase understanding of the ways in which psychological research and concepts affect our everyday lives. Over 500 people attended the event. The day was headlined by two well-known keynote speakers: comedienne Ruby Wax, who has recently completed a qualification in psychotherapy and is studying for an MA in Neuropsychology; and Professor Richard Wiseman, who spoke about the science of luck and how to be a luckier person. The British Psychological Society invited 40 psychology researchers engaged in high quality research in applied psychology in the UK to present their work to interested members of the public. Dr Melissa Day and Dr Iain Greenlees from the University of Chichester were invited to represent the field of sport psychology. Melissa Day gave a talk on her research, studying the sources of stress and ways of coping in sport, and Iain Greenlees discussed the role of first impressions in sport, examining how factors such as body language and clothing colour may influence sporting encounters. “It was a great honour to be asked by such a large organisation to present the work that we do at Chichester and indicates the growing reputation of the sport psychologists that we have at the University.” said Iain.

Investigating the effects of downhill walking in older people

In the UK, the proportion of older people aged 65 and over was estimated to be 16% in mid-2003. This number is expected to rise during the first half of this century. The normal ageing process is associated with reduced mobility, an increased risk of falls and weakness of skeletal muscles. It is also known that such negative consequences of ageing could be diminished by appropriate regular physical activity. In 2006, a research project was started investigating the effects of regular downhill walking in older people (65-75 years). This investigation is conducted by Mandy Gault, as part of her PhD study, and supervised by Dr Mark Willems. Regular level walking is known to have significant health benefits for the elderly. With downhill walking, muscles are used in a different way, they act like brakes. Occasional downhill walking with braking muscles will give feelings of soreness. This does not happen when the muscles adapt to regular downhill walking. For older people this is also a moderate aerobic activity, likely to result in adaptations that will strengthen skeletal muscles and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Regular downhill walking has the potential to be an exercise that will benefit your health and how your muscles work when you get older. This project will enhance our understanding for the changes in physical performance and cardiovascular risk factors by regular downhill walking and will potentially support exercise prescriptions that postpone deterioration of function and health with ageing in a way that is beneficial to the communities we serve.”

Research Forum explores the impact of Freud’s famous essay ‘The Uncanny’ The English and Creative Writing Department at the University of Chichester held a literary research forum to discuss and explore the ongoing impact of Freud’s famous essay ‘The Uncanny’, written in 1919. The research forum included readings of contemporary and Victorian masterpieces of the uncanny as well as scholarly and public discussion of the topic. Key note speaker at the event was Professor Nicholas Royle of the University of Sussex, and author of ‘The Uncanny: An Introduction’.

Dr Mandy Richardson

Several of the panellists at the forum, including University of Chichester English lecturer Dr Alison MacLeod, have contributed to a new short story collection, ‘The New Uncanny: Tales of Disquiet’ which was published at the end of 2008 by Comma Press, and was favourably reviewed on Radio 3’s literary arts programme ‘The Verb’.

Ground forces Landscapes can be a joy to the eye but they’re also a living and vivid illustration of the history of an area. Dr Mandy Richardson – a senior lecturer in mediaeval and early modern history at the University – is a specialist in landscapes, in particular in forests and deer parks. “What makes them interesting is that once you scratch the surface, there’s so much more there,” she said. “They’re another dimension of historical evidence. “In the mediaeval period, we’re still trying to read the ideals and mores of a particular society into the landscape. We know a lot more about country parks in the 18th century, when people built big, high-status landscapes that embedded their political values and ideas. Sometimes, landowners moved whole villages, or parts of villages, so they could get a nice view. “It’s the 18th century version of Leylandii hedges. In the early part of the century, country houses were clearly visible from the roadway. All of a sudden in the late 18th century, these physical and symbolic barriers were put up between one class and another.” Part of the reason landscape is becoming a hot history topic is the level of current concerns about the environment. “It’s natural we’d want to look at how the environment was considered in history. Did they really conserve things? Did they really worry about the environment?” “Everything became controlled and artificial in gardens at the time when the New World was discovered. Suddenly, wilderness and natural things were seen as threatening. The opposite might be going on with the studied Englishness of Capability Brown’s style – making your land look like a little part of England that no-one has ever touched.”

Feedback from ‘The Uncanny’ It was a masterfully organised and chaired day, and I loved every minute of it. Ra Page, Editor, The New Uncanny: Tales of Unease, Comma Press (contributor) I just wanted to add my thanks for organising such an imaginative, stimulating and engaging multidisciplinary study day. I came away enthused and inspired… Dr. Ewan Kirkland, Kingston (contributor)

Research informs the way new technology might revolutionise learning in Mathematics Classrooms A research report following on from a year-long pilot project to evaluate the impact of a revolutionary handheld learning device for mathematics students, has been published by the University. The research looked at the use of the revolutionary TI-Nspire™ ICT platform which was regularly used by 11-to 16 years olds (and their teachers) in 14 classrooms across 7 schools in England and is highly topical, given the concerns expressed about the use of ICT in mathematics teaching and learning in the recent OFSTED report; “Mathematics: understanding the score”. The 7 schools involved in the pilot were Blue Coat CofE Comprehensive School Walsall; Davison C of E High School for Girls, Worthing; George Green’s School, Tower Hamlet, London; Ravens Wood School, Bromley, Kent; St Andrew’s C of E High School for Boys, Worthing; St Paul’s Catholic College, Burgess Hill, West Sussex and Wildern School, Southampton. The report entitled ‘Evaluating TI-Nspire in secondary mathematics classrooms’ found that handheld devices were increasingly used to stimulate learners to think mathematically and, in many cases, to be strongly motivated to engage with mathematical structures and concepts. Alison Clark-Wilson, from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, who carried out the research said: “The year-long study introduced TI-Nspire with the goal of enhancing the students’ mathematical understanding and to inspire and revolutionise the ways it is taught. There was strong evidence that TI-Nspire helped teachers in their development as well because they were using technology to its full potential to enhance the student experience. The TI-Nspire handheld is unique as it allows students to use several mathematical software packages all on one hand-held device. An interactive application such as this can only help towards motivating and inspiring the next generation of students who study the subject.” TI-Nspire offers a rich tool for personalised learning which can extend beyond the mathematics classroom. TI-Nspire was developed with major teacher involvement and combines a handheld device and PC software that offers a parallel learning experience. Regular upgrades ensure that it meets the demands of maths classrooms today. Documents, statistics, spreadsheets, graphs, geometry, financial functions, data logging and a calculator application (all dynamically linked) encourage exploration of multiple representations of a problem and its solutions. A Teacher Edition of the software is also available, including a handheld emulator and enhanced document editing to improve the classroom learning experience and provide versatility in

Alison Clark-Wilson presented her key findings at a seminar during BETT, which is Europe’s foremost conference and exhibition for ICT in Education. High profile international dance scholar visits the University of Chichester Professor Susan Manning, a leading international dance academic, gave a lecture on 20th century AfricanAmerican theatre dance in the US, at the University of Chichester during March 2009. The dance research seminar at the Bishop Otter campus, Chichester, included lectures and performances from Chris Jannides and Linda Taylor who are both PhD students in Dance and Performing Arts at the University. Chris talked about the artistic links between everyday movement and dance. Linda shared her experiences of working with Goat Island, which is a Chicago-based theatre collective, one of the most experimental theatre companies to evolve in the last 10 years. Professor Manning provided the keynote speech.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) are a UK-wide programme that helps businesses and organisations to improve their competitiveness through the use of the knowledge, technology and skills that reside within Universities. The programme involves the forming of a partnership between your company and the University, enabling you to access skills and expertise to help your company develop. KTPs provide resources and expertise to thriving organisations who wish to innovate, expand or improve their performance. KTPs can be applied in any area from management to creative and performing arts, from social care to heritage and tourism.

Almost half of the companies in the scheme have not collaborated with a University before; 94% of businesses recommend the scheme to other companies. Placements and student projects Our approach to learning provides a supportive setting in which our students develop the holistic skills required for today’s dynamic business environment. The focus upon traditional core business disciplines e.g. finance, marketing and human resource management, reflects the ever increasing strategic importance of innovation within the contemporary business environment. The majority of learning takes place in small group workshops where students are encouraged to put into practice their knowledge and skills through a variety of business consultancy projects. These range from undertaking project-based assignments for client organisations, to work placements of ten weeks or one year in duration. Many subject routes are designed to have a strong vocational focus which is underpinned by our optional work placement programmes.

Training and development: upskill your workforce Improved productivity and competitive advantage are just some of the benefits of investing in your employees' skills and development. It also boosts staff confidence, competence and motivation - plus raises employee retention rates. The University can provide the best training by making available those lecturers who understand your business. By networking, you may be able to organise training jointly with other companies with similar needs. If you decide to buy a University-based course, you can choose between off-the-shelf or tailor-made courses. Courses can be scheduled according to your day-to-day activities and held in-house so employees don't need to travel. One option which is becoming increasingly popular is the Foundation Degree. Foundation Degrees are workfocused higher education qualifications, designed to meet employer skills shortages, improve career opportunities and increase earning potential. Employers are involved in the design and review of the programme of study to ensure that students are provided with a broad range of professional skills and expertise.

“The current Drama, Music Theatre and Dance courses at the University of Chichester are already a vibrant and vital part of the arts landscape in the city and wider region. Over the coming years the University is developing, in partnership with the Festival Theatre, an exciting and ambitious portfolio of new courses to enhance its Drama provision. I am extremely excited by the opportunities this presents not just for the theatre but for students locally, nationally and internationally who want to develop their skills in a progressive University environment.”
