Theology:
With its distinctive small group seminars and lectures taught by specialist academics, the Bristol programme in Religion and Theology enables its students to:
(a) think critically about the nature and variety of religions;
(b) understand, explain and analyse religion's significant shaping of and complex interaction with the modern world;
(c) explore themes (philosophy, ethics, mysticism, sex, power, and politics) across religions; and
(d) engage with different living religious communities as part of their Bristol degree.
Sociology:
The Sociology joint honours degree programmes enable students to develop their sociological understanding within a broader social science framework while maintaining the depth of learning associated with single honours subjects.
In particular, the programmes offer students the opportunity to:
Develop and demonstrate an in-depth, sympathetic and critical understanding of the relationship between sociology and other social science disciplines.
Think about how disciplinary epistemologies and methodologies may be utilised to develop inter-disciplinary approaches to the study of contemporary social issues.
Develop and demonstrate competence in a range of skills, including the evaluation of arguments and points of view, presentation skills, independent and group working and research skills.
The Department of Sociology aims to provide excellence in teaching and learning within a stimulating research environment. We aim to produce high quality graduates with an advanced understanding of social institutions, values and practices and the methodologies needed to analyse social relations and social processes. The programme provides a sound grounding in contemporary theoretical debates, their application to a number of substantive areas, and the philosophical and practical issues involved in undertaking empirical research. The joint programmes allow students to explore the theoretical and practical relationships between sociology and a variety of other subject areas.
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Acquisition of 1 is through mandatory units at Level C and I which introduce the student to the five religious traditions, as well as Biblical studies, theology and philosophy of religion (1 and 2) and the Methodology (approaches and issues) of Religious Studies (4). Optional units at Levels C, I and H provide the student with progressively more detailed studies of individual religious traditions from a variety of methodological perspectives (1-7). Units are taught by means of one or more of the following: lectures, small classes, group discussion, student presentations (both as an individual and in groups) and tutor-guided classroom debate. Not all units provide all of the Intended Learning Outcomes, or employ all the teaching methods in an identical manner or to an identical extent. Each unit provides learning opportunities for some or all of elements 1-7 and employs some or all of the teaching methods. Students have the opportunity to develop some or all of elements 1-7, and experience some or all of the teaching methods outlined through completing mandatory and optional units at level C, optional units as level I and mandatory and optional units at level H. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Assessment of the knowledge base delineated in 1-6 is achieved through employing one or more of the following methods of assessment, dependent on the learning outcomes of the unit in question: Diagnostic and Formative Assessment: Oral presentations essays (and the subsequent feedback), class tests, and class participation (3-6). 7 is assessed through class tests and regular language assignments. Summative Assessment: Written examinations, essays, class tests and dissertations (and, at Level C and I, oral presentations and class participation). 7 is assessed through class tests and examinations. |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Learning/teaching methods and strategies: Intellectual skills, including discipline-specific skills, (1-8) are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and language classes, individual essay-preparation meetings and dissertation tutorials. The combination within an individual unit is determined by the learning outcomes of that unit. Lectures introduce students to the description, summary and synthesis of information (2), assessment of arguments (3) and the evaluations of claims (4), as presented by the lecturer. Seminars then provide an opportunity for students to develop skills 1-7 in written form (through seminar papers or notes, essays and examinations) and orally (through individual or group presentations). Training in skill 4-8 is provided through language classes, and developed through the setting of, and feedback on, regular assignments. Skills 1-7 are also developed through essay-preparation meetings (at all levels), and with respect to independent study, (1 and 7), through dissertation tutorials (at level H only). |
Methods of Assessment | |
The assessment of the student’s competence in skills 1-7 is achieved through employing one or more of the following methods of assessment, dependent on the learning outcomes of the unit in question: Summative Assessment: At level C, competence in these skills is assessed through oral presentations and oral contributions to seminars (and the notes thereof), essays and written examinations. At level I, competence in these skills is assessed through oral presentations and oral contributions to seminars (and the notes thereof) essays and examinations. At level H, competence in these skills is assessed through essays, examinations, a dissertation. Language units (B8) are assessed through class tests, examinations and, for some units, essays. |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Training in these skills is delivered through lectures, seminars, essay-preparation meetings, dissertation tutorials, group work and both guided and independent reading. These skills are developed through attending class and researching and preparing for one or more of the following: Not all units provide all of the above teaching methods, or employ all the methods of assessment in an identical manner or to an identical extent. Each unit provides learning opportunities for some or all of elements 1-9 and employs some or all of the teaching/assessment methods. Students have the opportunity to develop some or all of elements 1-9, and experience some or all of the teaching/assessment methods through completing mandatory and optional units at level C, optional units as level I and mandatory and optional units at level H [B] means programme outcome can be related to subject benchmark statement |
Methods of Assessment | |
The assessment of the student’s competence in skills 1-9 is achieved through employing one or more of the following methods of assessment, dependent on the learning outcomes of the unit in question: |
Statement of expectations from the students at each level of the programme as it/they develop year on year.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
At level C, the student is expected to have gained an introductory knowledge and understanding of the five religious traditions outlined in knowledge 1 above, Biblical studies (both Hebrew Bible and New Testament), Theology and Philosophy of Religion and the Methodology of Religion and Theology. Discipline-specific, intellectual skills and key/transferable skills (1-7 and 1-8) will have been developed at a foundational level in accordance with the aims and learning outcomes of particular units. Students opting to take language units will have been expected to gain, in addition to the above, skills 8 and 9. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
At level I, the student is expected to have further developed his/her knowledge and understanding of the religious traditions mentioned in A1 above and/or Biblical Studies (both Hebrew Bible and New Testament) Theology and Philosophy of Religion and the Methodology of Religion and Theology through mandatory units. The opportunity to develop this knowledge and understanding further is provided through optional units which take as their subject matter specific elements of the religious traditions and/or Biblical Studies. A greater degree of independent learning (Intellectual Skills 1, 7, Other Skills 3, 6 and 7) and a greater competence in some or all of the skills of research, group work and oral and written presentation (Intellectual Skills 2-6, Other Skills 1, 2, 4) is expected. Students take examinations in most units and therefore have the opportunity to further develop Other Skill 8. Those students taking language options will be expected to further develop Intellectual Skill 8 and Other Skill 9. |
Level H/6 - Honours |
At level H, the student is expected to develop his/her knowledge and understanding of one or more of the elements of Religion and Theology studied at Level I through optional units and a specified piece of research work (the dissertation unit). Each unit offers learning opportunities in one or more of the following: extensive primary source material research (Intellectual Skill 1, Other Skill 3), increasing independence (in terms of student learning and originality of thought: Intellectual Skill 7, Other Skills 6, 7) and greater competence in oral and written presentation than that expected at level I (Intellectual Skills2-6, Other Skills 1, 2, 4-6). |
The intended learning outcome mapping document shows which mandatory units contribute towards each programme intended learning outcome.
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Acquisition of knowledge and understanding through lectures, classes and seminars, associated handouts and visual presentations, together with individual supervision in preparation of the student's final year dissertation. A wide range of special subjects in the third year to allow students to address areas in-depth. Directed and independent reading, with a strong emphasis on effective use of a wide range of literature and other information sources: academic texts, journals, articles, sociofile, websites, relevant fiction, film and other media. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Range of written essays (short coursework and extended, summatively assessed, essays). Examinations (unseen) in all three years. Other coursework: written assignments and various tasks as appropriate to each unit of the course (eg: short written piece, reviews, oral presentations, group work, portfolio of assignments ) (12) is assessed through assessment mechanisms in the appropriate department other than Sociology. |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Intellectual skills are developed through the lecture programme and linked seminars/classes, independent study and coursework. Students are exposed to relevant modes of enquiry and analyses; they are encouraged through class discussion and their individual written work to identify key issues, to summarise and reflect upon key points from their reading, to assess evidence and its relevance. Guidance on the location and use of library and web sources, on referencing, on the preparation of written and oral work is provided through handbooks, bibliographies and study skills tasks. Units in appropriate department other than sociology provide the opportunity to acquire the skills and attributes mentioned in (11). |
Methods of Assessment | |
A variety of written assignments, formative and summative essays and unseen examinations test summary, analytical and evaluation skills, problem-solving, report writing and the presentation of arguments. Seminar and coursework exercises assess the ability to interpret data and investigative skills. (11) is assessed through assessment mechanisms in the appropriate department other than Sociology. |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning and Teaching Methods |
---|---|
|
Oral communication is developed by requiring students to engage in class discussions, in seminars or tutorials, and to give short presentations individually or in groups. Effective use of information sources, analytical ability, independent and group work are all developed through seminars, coursework tasks and study skills. (10) is delivered through the teaching and learning strategies of the appropriate department other than sociology. |
Methods of Assessment | |
Communication and presentation skills are assessed through written coursework and essays (formative and summative), which it is expected that students will word process. Recall and the organisation of relevant material is tested through traditional unseen written examinations. Independent study is assessed through coursework, assessed essays, and preparation for examinations. Credit points depend on both written course requirements and participation in seminars involving group discussion and debate. (10) is assessed through assessment mechanisms in the appropriate department other than Sociology. |
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 course. They will acquire familiarity with the main themes and key concepts of classical and contemporary sociology, and hence the character of the discipline. They will develop an understanding of debates on issues of central importance to sociology and of current social relevance, and be introduced to theories of society, social institutions, social identity and culture. The expectation is that their work may require substantial direction from tutors at this stage with guidance on the development of study skills. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
In Year 2 students are expected to expand the range and depth of their knowledge in core areas of the discipline and their capacity to evaluate material using a variety of critical perspectives. They acquire an overview of key fields of study and appropriate methodologies, a strong conceptual basis for later theory and substantive units. Students will extend their analytical skills, their ability to structure their work and present it fluently. They will be encouraged in group work skills through active participation in seminars. They are expected to be developing a capacity for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of essays and coursework assignments). |
Level H/6 - Honours |
At level 6 students are expected to broaden and deepen their knowledge through their study of specialised optional subjects, the units being more closely linked to staff research interests developing the conceptual and methodological approaches used in more complexity. Students will be expected to develop further their ability to gather and assimilate information from diverse sources, to synthesise these in an appropriate way and to engage in sophisticated critical evaluation of sociological texts. Students will be encouraged to make their own critical judgements, to develop greater independence and self-directed study, and to further extend individual and group work 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.
