Classical Studies:
This programme is designed to offer students a broad understanding of the culture of the ancient Greco-Roman world, ranging from Homeric Greece through the Classical period to Late Antiquity.
Students will learn about the ancient world, and study, amongst other things, its historical documents and its literature, mythology, civilisation and heritage. Students will study a broad range of Greek and/or Latin literature and civilisation, through the medium of Greek/Latin and English texts, developing their skills in grammar, interpretation and translation.
The Department aims to promote as widely as possible knowledge, understanding and 'ownership' of the ancient world and its reception.
Classical studies give excellent multidisciplinary training in the humanities. The study of the languages, literature, philosophy, art and culture of the ancient world is an enriching experience at university and a good foundation for many types of career.
English:
The English half of this Joint-Honours degree is designed to provide a grounding in the general knowledge and understanding of English Literature from the earliest times to the present day. In its engagement with literature of all periods, the Department of English is committed to maintaining a balance between established traditions of literary study and the latest developments in the subject.
The aims of the course are that students should develop reading skills and critical and conceptual awareness, and that they should acquire a sense of the history, chronological development and contexts of literature and of its various phases and modes, without inertly accepting received ideas of literary history, period or genre.
Students are encouraged to read as many of the most widely known English authors as possible, while being given opportunities to develop their own interests in particular authors and topics.

Statement of expectations from the students at each level of the programme as it/they develop year on year.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
Students are expected to acquire the foundations on which to develop appropriate expertise in line with the aims and objectives of the programme. They will acquire familiarity with some authors, themes, contexts and concepts of study in English literature from the early medieval period to the early eighteenth century. They will be introduced to some of the major theoretical and critical preoccupations informing degree-level English studies, and technical terms, literary conventions and contexts appropriate for critical analysis. Students will be introduced to the conventions of scholarly discourse and presentation, become familiar with academic writing as a critical practice, receive some training in IT skills, and begin to develop research skills and good study habits. They will also develop communication skills through formative writing exercises and group oral presentations. Students’ work may require substantial direction and guidance from tutors, but students will also take the first steps towards choosing their own topics and conducting independent research. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
Students are expected to expand the range and depth of their knowledge in core areas of the discipline, develop their capacity to evaluate material using a variety of critical perspectives, and develop their written and oral communication skills. Students will improve their familiarity with some authors, themes, contexts and concepts of study in English literature from the early eighteenth century to the present day. Students will have the opportunity to deepen and extend their knowledge and understanding of early medieval to early eighteenth century English literature through more specialised options. Working with staff on research-engaged Special Subject units, students will be expected to develop further their understanding of particular topics and authors. Students will have the opportunity to consolidate what they have learned in Year One and to use their knowledge, understanding and skills to evaluate critically and formulate evidence-based arguments. Students will extend their analytical skills and their ability to structure their work and present it fluently. They are expected to develop their capacity for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of essays and coursework assignments). |
Level H/6 - Honours |
At level H students are expected to broaden and deepen their knowledge, and to apply relevant conceptual and methodological approaches to more complex and specialised topics in literary study. Students will be encouraged to demonstrate independence as learners and in their own critical judgements, and to reflect both on the nature of literary study as a discipline and their own progress as critics of literature and culture. Students will have the opportunity to deepen and extend their knowledge and understanding of the main authors, themes, contexts and concepts of study in English literature from the early eighteenth century to the present day through more specialised options. Working with staff on research-engaged Special Subject units, students will be expected to demonstrate their ability to engage in sophisticated critical evaluation of particular texts, topics and authors. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake an independently conceived and researched dissertation conducted either over 15 or 30 weeks. Students will be able to demonstrate skills valued in graduate employment, including critical, analytic and research skills, and competence in oral and written communication, as well as time-management and organisational skills. |

UG Workload Statement
Success as an undergraduate student depends on you being able to make the transition to self-motivated, independent learning. Programmes are designed to assist you in this development, in many cases by starting with units in which timetabled teaching, such as lectures and practical classes, provides the foundations of knowledge and skills in a subject, moving on to individual research-based work. Over time you will be expected to take increasing responsibility for your own learning, guided by the feedback on your work that you will receive. At the heart of your studies at every level there must be regular and disciplined individual reading, reflection and writing and it is this skill of independent studies, above all others, that will serve you best when you leave the University.
Most programmes use credits and a 20 credit unit broadly equates to about 200 hours of student input. This includes all activities related to the teaching, learning and assessment of taught units.
A component of this is the time that you spend in class, in contact with the teaching staff, which includes activities such as lectures, laboratories, tutorials and fieldwork. Some of this activity may be online and could consist of activity that is synchronous (using real-time environments such as Blackboard Collaborate) or asynchronous (using tools such as tutor moderated discussion forums, blogs or wikis).
In some programmes there are field courses and/or placements that will take place in concentrated periods of time.
Outside scheduled activities you are expected to pursue your own independent learning to build your knowledge and understanding of the subjects you are studying. Such independent activities include, reviewing lecture material, reading textbooks, working on examples sheets, completing coursework, writing up laboratory notes, preparing for in-class progress tests and revising for examinations.
We recognise that many students undertake paid employment. To achieve a sensible balance between work and study, you are advised to undertake paid work for no more than 15 hours per week in term-time.
Professional Programmes
Many undergraduates in the Faculty of Health Sciences will be following the professional programmes of:
For these professional programmes, full time attendance is compulsory unless absence is formally approved. Academic activities are timetabled throughout the 5-day week and student workload is around 40 hours per week on average. Where possible, students in the early years are permitted Wednesday afternoons for sport and extra-curriculum activities. This may not be available in later years of professional programmes as when a student progresses through the curricula there is an increasing exposure to clinical and professional activities. Students in clinic or on placements may need to stay later than core times of 08.00 – 18.00 or even overnight to observe out-of-hours activities. This increasing exposure to clinical activities means that students on these professional programmes often have longer term dates than the University standard. Individual years within programmes are likely to vary in length (for example because of the timings of placements) and further information on this will be found in individual programme regulations. Another important point to note is that many of the assessments sit outside of the standard University examination timetable and are likely to be more frequent meaning that students will more oftentimes be engaged in revision activities and self-directed learning.
