Initially I was very excited for this course - the coursework has been quite enjoyable and everything about the course is fine - however I feel that they don't broaden their modules enough. Over term time we could be covering more than we actually do. However, the two subjects blend nicely with each other and offer complement each other with skills for essay writing, etc. read more

Although the content is very interesting, the way in which it is taught does not excite me at all - the lectures are always focused on a random minuscule aspect of the text and/or social context, so it is pretty much individual learning. No expectation to bond with personal tutor, no initial individual meetings are set up which is strange. Always feel like I am not taking anything away after a lecture. read more
