Culture modules for the 2024/25 academic year

What do we mean by ‘culture’ and what can we learn about it from art, history, literature and film? What can it teach us about gender, race, politics, religion and identity?

Stretching from Roman times through the French Middle Ages to contemporary Africa; straddling the Middle East, Germany and everything in-between; sampling from Italian cinema and Russian literature - these modules present a truly global cultural perspective.

Some modules are taught in English while others are taught in the target language, so check the module details carefully.

Understanding Language(s) for the 2024/25 academic year

If you want to understand how language works, develops, changes and is used, this sub-theme is for you.

Modules in this sub-theme are arranged according to four pathways: teaching language and language acquisition, language structure and analysis (of sounds, words and grammar), language use, and language in the brain. So find out how we process, learn and communicate with language. Discover how and why languages evolve. Study discourse, concepts of culture and identity, and the powerful role of language in society and the media. If developing your analytical skills is a priority, then what are you waiting for?

There are 34 modules available.

If you are an incoming year one student, you should only choose level 1 modules.
