Outline

Linguistics in a nutshell:

Linguistics can be studied either on its own as a specialist degree, or jointly with another subject. Choose to study it with one of the following: Deaf Studies, UCAS code: QB15, English Language, UCAS code: QQ31 or TESOL, UCAS code: XQ11.

BA (Hons) Linguistics introduces you to the study of language and the role it plays in our lives. You will learn about the sound system, grammatical structure, language variation and change, language meaning, and language and the mind. You can also explore linguistics in a wider context, for example in relation to the media, the Deaf community or translation theory. Whatever route you choose, the study of Linguistics provides an analytical look at the most complex and unique form of human behaviour – language.

The single honours degree seeks to provide you with the opportunity to combine the study of language and languages. Wolverhampton is the only University in the UK which offers a specialist Linguistics award that requires the study of two languages (including the option of British Sign Language [BSL]) in years one and two, and at least one language in your final year. Students who choose to opt for the BSL strand will acquire the skills necessary to communicate in this medium to post-intermediate level. The combination of Linguistics and Languages will make it easier and more desirable for you to spend a year abroad (usually between years one and two), often in a teaching post, thereby developing your maturity and resourcefulness, and enhancing your independence and spirit of enterprise.

Studying Philosophy with English Literature at the University of Wolverhampton was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life. It was both challenging and rewarding.

The skills I learned during my course, such as the ability to analyse material critically and draw conclusions from them independently, are not only useful for academics but for other career choices, as employers value these skills.

Throughout the course you will develop core skills that you will draw on in any career including excellent written and verbal communication, presentation skills and working effectively with others. You will also gain specialist skills in critical thinking, problem solving and the ability to distinguish the good from the bad arguments. You will develop sensitivity to others and get to know more about yourself.

You will also have the opportunity to listen to internationally renowned scholars through the Royal Institute of Philosophy public lecture series hosted by the University.

Typical philosophy modules may include: Year 1: Introduction to Philosophy; Thinking Ethically; Using Critical Reason: Critically and Creatively.

MA English

Full-time: 1 year • Part-time: 2/3 years • Location: City Campus • Start date: October • Contact: wlv.ac.uk/humanities or tel: 0800 953 3222.

Outline The MA English course aims to provide a stimulating intellectual environment that will enable graduate students to build upon their interests and skills in literary studies at postgraduate level. It features core modules in both advanced critical theory and research methodologies that will deepen and develop graduate abilities in academic research, writing and presentation to meet professional standards.

These standards will be evident in a final dissertation, based upon students’ intellectual interests and supported by one-to-one tutorials with a supervising academic who has research expertise in the field. Students will also be guided through the transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study through four taught modules. These seminar-based modules will be taught weekly and will be drawn from three distinctive themes relating to literary genres in history, major author study and literary adaptations.

Featured authors and texts will range from Milton and Byron, through Virginia Woolf and the ‘Angry Young Men’ of the 1950s, to science fiction and current adaptations of the work of Sarah Waters.

Careers The MA English qualification is a source of continuing professional development for individuals already engaged in professions such as teaching, journalism and careers within local government and the public sector.

On a much broader scale, the programme will also enhance the individual qualities needed for employment in circumstances requiring sound judgement, good communication skills, personal responsibility and initiative in the professional environment. The MA will also provide a sound intellectual and stylistic platform for students to progress on to doctorate level study and a career in higher education.

Entry requirements You should have a good Honours degree (2:1 or above), normally with at least half of that award in English.

MA Popular Culture

Full-time: 1 year • Part-time: 2-3 years • Location: City Campus • Start date: January/October • Contact: wlv.ac.uk/humanities or tel: 0800 953 3222.

Outline MA Popular Culture – the only course of its kind in the country – introduces you to an advanced level study of the various aspects of popular culture; principally that produced and consumed in Britain since the late nineteenth century.

This is the only postgraduate course on Popular Culture in the UK, and the only one in the world to focus principally on the British experience, either as consumers of international culture, or through Britain’s unique contribution to youth and pop culture.

The programme consists of a broad range of modules from a number of academic disciplines, including History, English, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Religious Studies, and Film Studies. All modules are taught by experts in their respective fields, and informed by research at the forefront of the various disciplines. For your own independent research into popular culture, we can also offer supervision in a wide range of areas and approaches. You will experience a variety of teaching methods with a high level of input from you and other students on the course.

While you will undoubtedly bring to your studies a rich and individual experience in the consumption, interpretation, dissemination and – perhaps – the production of popular culture, on the course you will encounter many more varieties of cultural experience, and you will study theories and approaches with which you can make a different kind of sense out of them. On this programme, more than most, where you are when you end the course will depend on what you bring to it, and what you choose to take from it.

But you will inevitably encounter materials and analytical methodologies you have not previously had experience of, and you will be given a valuable opportunity to discover and experiment with alternative approaches to the field of popular culture.

Typical modules may include Theories and Concepts for the Analysis of Popular Culture, Popular Consumerism in Britain 1850-1939, Youth Subcultures and National Identity in Post-war England, Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Sacred and the Profane in Popular Culture, Crime of the Century - Murders and the Media, Fads and Fame: the Industrialisation of Culture and Screening Horror: Trauma, Fear and Fantasy in Film.

Careers Skills and knowledge gained throughout the programme will be particularly relevant to archivists and curators, researchers, writers and journalists, librarians, and teachers of popular culture.
