List of all Modules
Compulsory Core modules
There are compulsory modules for specified student groups in Q300/1, VQ32/3, QW34/5 at each level and which are not open to students outside those degrees. English students should see "Degree StructureLink opens in a new window" page for full breakdown.
Optional Cores
Each degree has "optional cores" which are a list of selected modules that fulfil a certain requirement of the degree. Anything listed as an optional core but which you do not choose as an optional core (or belongs to another English degree optional core list) may still be taken as a general option. See "Degree StructureLink opens in a new window" page for full breakdown.
EN3E0 Dissertation Module
This module is available to final year students only - registered on Q300/Q301 English Literature, QW34/5 English and Theatre Studies, as well as Film and Literature, Philosophy and Literature, English and Classics, English and French, English and German, English and Italian, English and Hispanic Studies, English and Cultural Studies.
Optional modules
There are a number of 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
- 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.
- 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. See Degree StructureLink opens in a new window
Available modules
For the latest modules available please see the main UG Modules page, where you can see which modules are available via degree course and details about each module. It shows the core modules you will need to complete for each of the 3 degrees we offer and the optional modules available depending on whether you are a student within the department, doing a joint degree, or from another route. Again please be aware that this will be valid for the current academic year and if you are looking specifically for the following year, options available may differ. (There will be a separate page linked from this for the upcoming year - as soon as we have some confirmation of which modules will be offered.)
Module links point directly to module pages that will contain some information. After Term 2 has finished some of the module information will begin to be updated in preparation for the next academic year. Therefore if you are looking for information regarding the next academic year, please be aware that some of the module details could differ.
