Optional modules

Below are all the optional honours' level modules the English department offers and are open to all students in the department and outside the department [with the exception of the EN3E0 dissertation]. There are a range of 30 CATS (2 term) and 15 CATS (1 term) modules that English students can choose in addition to any compulsory / optional cores for their level of study (i.e. intermediate or finalist). Some of these optional modules are also "optional cores" for certain degrees - this is detailed on the Degree StructureLink opens in a new window page and in the descriptions in the booklet.

At both intermediate and finalist level and on any honours degree you can take a maximum of 120 CATS per year.

• 1 term modules of 15 CATS further down
• Any module where the code say EN2XX or 3XX is in the process of being assigned a module code.
• In the English department, second years and finalists take classes together but you will be assigned the module code corresponding with your level.
• Anything with a strikethrough is not running 2024-25.
• Q300/1 students will need to ensure at least one of their modules fits their "optional core" requirement for their level whilst QW34/5 and VQ32/3 will need to check how many CATS are available to them as options and which ones can/must be in English.
