Modules

At least one year’s prior experience in teaching or education is preferable but not essential. You’ll study three core modules in the autumn term and choose two options in the spring term. This includes a research methods module preparing you for academic writing and your dissertation. Your dissertation topic will be an area of your choosing and can be either empirical research or a literature-based study. Modules for the full-time variant of the course are listed below. We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2023/24. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to COVID-19, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We’ll make sure to let our applicants know of material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity. We’ll do our best to provide as much optional choice as we can, but timetabling constraints mean it may not be possible to take some module combinations. The structure of a small number of courses means that the order of modules or the streams you choose may determine whether modules are core or optional. This means that your core modules or options may differ from what’s shown below. Core modules Core modules are taken by all students on the course. They give you a solid grounding in your chosen subject and prepare you to explore the topics that interest you most. All year
