ICE was founded in 1873, and is based at Madingley Hall, an historic Tudor mansion on the outskirts of Cambridge with some of the finest gardens in the region.

Introduction Introduction Welcome to a range of educational opportunities provided by the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE). We offer more than 30 different University of Cambridge qualifications designed especially for adult and part-time learners who want to advance their educational or professional development. You can choose from undergraduate-level Certificates, Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas, and a growing number of Master of Studies (MSt) degrees. Our tutors are all leading Cambridge experts in both their subjects and in teaching students of all ages and experience. New for 2012 This year we re offering a number of new qualifications: Undergraduate Diplomas in Coaching and in English Literature, Advanced Diplomas in Philosophy and in Ecological Monitoring and Conservation (subject to approval), and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education. We re also developing an Undergraduate Certificate and MSt in Creative Writing and a Diploma in Careers Leadership which we expect to offer in 2013 14. Our Undergraduate Certificates and Diplomas continue to be offered on a non-modular basis, following a successful trial last year. Students will once again be provided with a University of Cambridge card for a full year, giving access to a wide range of University facilities, services and concessions. If you are part-way through a modular programme, you will have one further year from the start of 2012 13 to complete the modules you need to gain a qualification. As of 2012, Undergraduate Advanced Diplomas will now be offered over two years rather than one, with two intakes of students: one in November and one in February. Financial support: bursaries and loans If you are new to higher education, new to ICE, or if you re a state-funded teacher, you could be eligible for an ICE Bursary. For more details, including instructions on how to apply, see p5 of this booklet. You will also be able to pay your fees in instalments, and this year for the first time you may have access to part-time student loans if you re studying for your first university qualification.

Beginning with a reading of Gawain and the Green Knight (in the original and in Simon Armitage s translation), we will explore the theme of place as it pertains to a range of literature including pastoral poetry and Romanticism and the literature of walking, from John Clare to contemporary city literature, with particular reference to writing about East Anglia and the Fens. You will encounter ideas from ecocriticism and psychogeography alongside your readings in poetry and fiction. Term 3: Contemporary poetry: roots and recent developments. This unit examines the development of modern poetry from the early 20th century to the present day. Beginning with an appraisal of free verse against the dynamic artistic and political backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, we will explore how the scions of high modernism shaped poetics, and how present-day authors might still be said to be dealing with that shaping. Taking in Eliot, Pound, Doolittle, Auden, Larkin and Spender, the first four weeks will include readings of great verse and selections of illuminating and accessible critical writing. In the later weeks, we will delve into verse s recent past, taking in authors such as Hughes, Hill, Heaney and Muldoon along with discussions of genres such as Concrete poetry and Language poetry. Special focus will be on the current and recent crop of Cambridge poets, for too long lazily designated difficult without due attention paid. The course is taught through a mixture of informal lectures, seminars, field trips and discussion. You will learn how to present and support evidence both through speaking and writing. You will also have access to online support through our virtual learning environment. You are expected to take an active part in the course and submit work showing evidence of learning.

No previous knowledge is required. You will learn about observation techniques and space exploration, as well as examining recent developments and research. By the end of the course you will know your way around the world of black holes, white dwarfs, neutron stars and extrasolar planets everything that makes up the rapidly expanding discipline of Astronomy. What will I be studying? Term 1: Stars and the cosmic cycle. In this first unit, we study our nearest star, the Sun and learn about the processes that fuel it. We find that stars of a wide range of masses exist and we learn how they evolve and end their lives, turning into exotic objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. We discover the importance of clusters in which the stars all have the same age. Concentrating on optical observations we will learn about the techniques of measuring some basic quantities such as mass, composition, distance, velocity and luminosity. Apply online at www.ice.cam.ac.uk 39

Science Term 2: Galaxies and quasars. In the second unit, we move on to discuss objects on a larger scale. We investigate the Milky Way and its position in the Universe. By studying the most distant objects, we can see the Universe at an earlier time and so study galaxy evolution. We will discuss both observational and theoretical aspects of galaxy formation and consider the benefits of studying radiation in different wavebands. The concepts of the expanding Universe, dark matter and dark energy will be introduced. Term 3: Planets and planetary systems. Starting with a description of the planets and other Solar System bodies we will go on to consider theories about the nature, origin and evolution of planets. This will lead on to one of the most fundamental of questions: are we alone? More than 750 extrasolar planets have already been found, and a recent study concluded that stars are orbited by a planet as a general rule, rather than an exception. This is a rapidly changing field; how long will it be before Earth-like planets are discovered? The course is delivered through a combination of formal presentations by the tutors, a range of interactive and participative methods of teaching and learning, and through set reading and assignments. These may include hands-on laboratory and practical sessions, case studies, small and whole group work and oral presentations. You will also have access to resources within ICE Online, the Institute s virtual learning environment.

It focuses on DNA at the core of life: how DNA works and how it informs the structures and functions of living cells. The course will explore key scientific advances which have changed our understanding of genetics. Together we will explore the mechanisms by which genetic variation is created and how genes are passed from generation to generation. As well as a broad introduction to the subject, the course aims to introduce and promote discussion on important ethical issues. Presentations will be complemented by lab work and debates, which will give you experience of data interpretation and presentation. The course will take place at the Science Education Centre at Homerton College in Cambridge, except for the initial session at Madingley Hall on 2 October 2012. What will I be studying? Term 1: DNA, the stuff our genes are made of. What we are is determined by our DNA. From this molecule flow the instructions for all of the building blocks of life. Tiny machines at the core of cells build and replicate DNA. They also mediate the transmission of instructions for development and the processes within all known organisms. During this unit, lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions (including extracting your own DNA) will reinforce the concepts being taught including: DNA structure, techniques used to examine DNA, genes, genomics, and the applications of DNA profiling to forensic science. Term 2: From genes to genomes. The study of genes and genomes is one of the most important areas of current science. Human genomes are now completed on a daily basis. We will study gene discovery and where we have come since the original Human Genome Project. The scientific and medical implications of genetic engineering and gene therapy will be discussed alongside the inevitable ethical issues. Term 3: Running in the family. This unit focuses on heredity: how genes are stored on chromosomes and passed to subsequent generations. We will consider the underlying causes of genetic traits and diseases as well as the interplay between genes and the environment. We will see how we are made of our ancestors and what we can learn about Apply online at www.ice.cam.ac.uk 41
