In addition, you will select a further 15 credits from the list of modules in each of your chosen subject areas. The remaining 60 credits may be taken from any area of the course programme.
Modules currently offered on this course include:
o Victorian Literature
o Contemporary Fiction
o Old Norse

Please note that all module details are subject to change.
In consultation with the course convenor, you may choose to write your dissertation on a new topic or you may extend your research into a topic already addressed in assessed work, with the proviso that you must not substantially repeat work that has already been assessed.
You will be assigned a tutor to supervise your dissertation, which will normally be written up during the summer months, from June to September.
