Course info
The English and Cultural Studies degree offers the opportunity for a broadly-based study of English and culture. Students follow a central core of modules taught by the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies but can choose other relevant modules from Humanities.This degree also offers an excellent opportunity to develop foreign language skills. French can be taken from a very modest level of knowledge and German can be taken from beginner's level.In both languages modules are available to take the student [who wishes] up to a very high level of competence in written and spoken French and German.A similar facility is available for Italian and Spanish.It is possible to take the English and Cultural Studies degree on the basis of either day or evening study, or as a mixture of the two. Each year the English department offers a full range of modules in the day and a selection on rotation in the evening so students may choose when to study.The Language Centre offers modules for part-time degree students mostly in the evening, but it is possible to take modules in the day-time by agreement with the Director of the Centre. Film and TV Studies, and Classics offer modules in the evening and History has a good range of evening modules. History of Art, German and Italian offers modules only in the day-time.

The academic co-ordinator will look for evidence of academic ability and commitment and, in addition, for evidence of serious interest in the study of literature. This evidence might be obtained from study of literature in an Access course, 'A' Level course, Warwick University Open Studies course or a less formal engagement with literature.
