We try to ensure that all courses run every year, but this is not always possible due to staff availability. Any of these courses, with the exception of the core courses and one 'Advanced' course, can be substituted for one offered by other departments in FASS (e.g. Religious Studies, European Languages and Cultures, Politics, Religion and Philosophy, English, Sociology, Media, Film and Cultural Studies).

Please note that unforeseen circumstances sometimes result in late changes to module availability.
