Module Aims
The aim of this module is to equip students with a profound knowledge of hair physiology, enabling them to comprehend the intricate workings of hair biology. By delving into the underlying mechanisms of hair growth and maintenance, students will gain a solid foundation to further explore trichology and its applications.
Content Summary
Indicative content to include topics outlined below and/or any other relevant current topics to fulfil the module aims and learning outcomes:
? Hair Structure and Follicular Biology
? Hair Growth Cycle, and Hair Disorders Classifications & Differential Diagnoses (Part 1)
? Hair Growth Cycle, and Hair Disorders and Classifications & Differential Diagnoses (Part 2)
? Hormonal Regulation of Hair Physiology (Investigations based on clinical assessment) Nutritional and Environmental Factors and Hair Health
? Dermoscopy in Hair and Scalp Analysis (Trichoscopy)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synchronous Online Assessment | Time-constrained assessment (Online) 1 | Assessment to be completed in a specific timescale, which is neither an invigilated examination nor a piece of coursework. To be completed over an extended period (e.g. a 2-hour task to be completed within 48 hours, or a 24-hour assessment).Learna: End of module 1-hour Case-based Multiple-choice Examination related to hair physiology including its anatomy and pathophysiology. | 60 | 600 | 30 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Self Reflective Assessment 1 | A personal record of a student’s learning experiences. It requires students to record and reflect upon their observations and responses to situations, which can then be used later to explore and analyse ways of thinking and being in context. Generally involves critical diaries, learning logs and written / visual journals or Reflective journal | 0 | 600 | 10 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Project 1 | A detailed analysis of a topic, involving some original research undertaken by the candidate who makes use of data and/or primary sources or Completion of an individual/group task related to hair physiology including its anatomy and pathophysiology. | 0 | 1000 | 20 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Case study 1 | A concentrated inquiry into a single case or subject or Case-based scenarios and discussion forum related to hair physiology including its anatomy and pathophysiology. | 0 | 2400 | 40 | No | 40 |
