Autumn teaching

You will explore sleep and its impact on wellbeing.

You’ll look at topics including:

• the biological underpinnings of sleep
• sleep across the lifespan
• sleep and cognition
• sleep disorders among others.

You will also explore the potential implications of lifestyle and sleep habits on sleep and health. You’ll review various types of animal and human research studies in order to enhance your understanding of the current research in the area of sleep.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
