Curriculum
Course Structure
Most students take a dual subject pathway where they can combine two subjects. Subject selection will be dependent on applicants having studied relevant pre-requisite modules or a similar stream as part of their associate degree.
Students select two subjects from the diagram below. Note that if subjects are in the same group, they clash so cannot be taken together.
| Psychology or German or Geography | Politics and International Relations or English | Digital Culture and Communications or Economics | Public Administration and Leadership or Spanish | Sociology or Linguistics with TESOL or Mathematics | History or French or Music and Dance |
Note that students can take Sociology or Politics and International Relations as single honours pathways meaning that they can focus entirely on these if they wish, without combining them with another subject.
How are modules (classes) balanced every semester?
Students take five modules in each semester; two modules from each of their chosen subjects and then one additional module.
In the first semester, students take an additional broadening module chosen from a number of modules from across the programme and elsewhere. For the remaining three semesters, for their fifth module, students take research-focused modules where they are exposed to best practices in research culminating in the studentโs own research project with one-on-one supervision from faculty in their fourth year.
