You have the option to undertake independent research on a subject of your choice through the Dissertation module.
Optional Modules for Year Three
The University is committed to providing a wide range of module options where possible, but please be aware that whilst every effort is made to offer choice this may be limited in certain circumstances. This is because some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.

How Will I Be Assessed?
All English Literature modules offer the opportunity to undertake unassessed draft formative work appropriate to the module. The form(s) of summative assessment for individual modules are set out in the relevant module descriptions. Most modules are assessed by essay and/or examination, but some include other forms of assessment such as journal entries, a portfolio, presentations or video essays. The assessment strategy is structured to lead you from formative thinking throughout the module towards the production of an informed critical/creative response.
Emphasis in the assessment of English Literature modules is placed on the writing of clear, persuasive and scholarly essays presented professionally and submitted on time. Details of any academic or competence standards which may limit the availability of adjustments or alternative assessments for disabled students are noted in the module descriptions.
Written feedback is provided on both formative and summative assessments, and you are encouraged to discuss your ideas with module tutors in seminars and, where appropriate, on a one-to-one basis during office hours. Your achievements and progress are also discussed in regular progress meetings with personal tutors.
