Full-time students studying English as a Minor are expected to complete one third of their course studying the subject. Most modules offer 3 hours of teaching time per week (2 lectures and a seminar), plus additional contact time as required for tutorial consultation or general guidance. Independent reading and study, which will also be guided by module coordinators, is expected to occupy 13 hours per module per week. We endeavour to make lecture and seminar times convenient for those who have to travel far or who have part-time jobs.
English as a Minor in year 1 has two compulsory modules; Elements of Criticism (Semester 1) and Modes of Reading (Semester 2), designed to equip you with some basic tools of literary criticism and introduce important concepts of critical theory.
