About your course Studying BA (Hons) History and English Literature at Liverpool John Moores University is designed to enable you to understand the past and present, and how that is captured in literature. This degree is inspired by and is firmly rooted in the city of Liverpool. It draws on the cultural, social, historical and literary context of the city across a range of modules, including 'Liverpool Legacies and Exploring History where students work with cultural partners and institutions across the city region, including the Museum of Liverpool, the Museum of Popular Music, the Tate, the Maritime Museum and Granby Winter Gardens. You will also be given extended, more formal opportunities to work with cultural partners and local businesses and schools to gain valuable work experience. The dual elements of the History and English Literature programme are complimentary, allowing students to study innovative topics and texts, following bespoke pathways through the programme which speak to your specific interests, be that Post-colonialism; the Victorians; or modern America. This distinctive programme encourages students to become a part of a vibrant community of students, post-graduate researchers and staff, to develop their own academic interests, and to prepare for next steps after graduation. Foundation Year The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the interest and ability to study for a degree, but do not have the qualifications to enter directly onto the History and English Literature honours degree programme yet. Once you pass the Foundation Year you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).

Assessment method

Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, but will usually include a combination of exams and coursework. We acknowledge that all students perform differently depending on the way they are assessed, which is why we use a combination of assessment methods. Half of your assessments will be coursework in the form of essays, portfolios, short written pieces, independent studies and dissertations. The rest of your assessment is by seen and unseen exam. Exam questions are available two weeks before the start of seen exams so you have the chance to prepare fully for them. Your tutors will provide feedback on coursework assessments within 15 days of submission via Canvas, face-to-face or as written comments. We believe constructive feedback is vital in helping you to identify your strengths as well as the areas where you may need to put in more work.
