Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Birkenhead

Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field in which certain concepts, approaches and theories have converged. The subject is informed by a range of disciplines, particularly Literature, Film Studies, Psychoanalysis, History, Sociology, Gender Studies, Communication and Media. Students will gain key knowledge and understanding through the relevant theories, approaches and perspectives applied to historical cultural developments. Understanding of the core and fundamental elements is gained through informed application of these theories and models to contemporary cultural and social issues. Students are encouraged to draw on their own experience to reflect on these applications and therefore consolidate knowledge and understanding. Cognitive skills will be developed throughout the programme across all levels. Development of independent thought through evidence based foundations is promoted in every module. The nature of this programme requires a high level of communication skills both verbal and written. Effective communication is a crucial element of the programme and students are given opportunities to practice and develop these skills throughout the programme.

Course programme

The programme runs over three academic years, each year being divided into semesters. As students' progress through the course, they will be expected to demonstrate increasing independence and responsibility for planning and critically evaluating their own learning and individual working methods. To support this progression course delivery shifts from structured and formal teaching methods at Level 4 to the facilitation increasingly of individual-centred, self-directed and self-evaluative methods of learning at Levels 5 and 6. At level 6 students are expected to take on a high level of responsibility for their own learning including the processes of research and critical reflection.
