XX century Russian literature phenomenon, tendencies and peculiarities. Place of XX century Russian Literature in the World literature The Recent Russian Literature Seminars, that are arranged on the base of previously given lektûr with the purpose to define writer’s and his works’ place in the recent Russian literature; to fix connections with literature tradition and/or novelty. The Main Features of the Recent Russian Literature. Recent Russian Prose through the lens of tradition and novelty. Annual literary award as a benchmark in the world of Russian literature.

The course provides students with linguistic, psychological and social perspectives on the acquisition of a second language, with particular emphasis on English as a Second Language. Topics include the concepts of 'interlanguage', 'error analysis', 'transfer' from first language, and 'natural order of acquisition', 'fossilisation', and 'critical period' for language acquisition.

3D Environments explores designing objects, environments and scenarios for a range of physical and virtual applications. Students will learn techniques suitable for a variety of outcomes including animation, games and motion graphics with a primary focus on designing environments, digital set design and landscapes. The course introduces students to fundamental concepts related to creating virtual and physical spaces through designing experimental 3D environments. Students will be introduced to virtual production and real-time 3D concepts through games engines. There is a strong focus on analysing and critiquing both historical and contemporary examples of virtual design, installation and light projections. Student projects may involve work integrated or research integrated learning opportunities; projects that involve external stakeholders; group/collaborative projects; speculative or more theoretically oriented projects; professionally oriented projects; projects based on competition or award briefs.

The course consists of combined theoretical and practical study. The topics are: creation and analysis of terrain and surface models, static and dynamic models and visualisations; visibility analysis; hydrological and flood analysis; 3D modelling, analysis and visualisation in city and landscape planning.

This course introduces students to the techniques and processes used in the creation of 3D objects, models and artworks for a wide range of applications in the creative industries including animation, film, art and design. Students will design and make objects using production processes and techniques such as 3D printing, digital modelling and the application of digital techniques to traditional materials. The course will develop foundational skills in designing for rapid prototyping and the creative application of digital fabrication technologies such as laser cutting, CNC machining and/or 3D printing to contemporary object making.

Integration of point-cloud mapping technologies, on land and at sea, including lidar,photogrammetry, and multibeam acoustic sensing. Practical applications and skills for collecting, processing, analysing and delivering high-resolution survey data.

This foundation studio course will develop your understanding of creative 3D computer visualisation. It will provide you with live, hands-on experience of the key technologies and creative thinking that is required when designing 3D virtual objects. You will be introduced to the historical and contemporary developments in 3D Visualisation and Computer Generated Imagery (CGI). Practical studio workshops will explore 3D CGI workflow for a variety of digital media, 3D modelling techniques, the application of foundational art and design theoretical thinking, and the previsualisation and planning of a virtual object. The course will primarily focus on constructing virtual objects for pre-rendering screen-based output. At the end of the course you will have planned and created a 3D virtual object through the application of a series of techniques and methods, giving you an introductory experience of the field of computer modelling.
