Combined Honours Modules
UCAS Code: BA Combined Honours (Y001)
The Combined Honours modules are exclusively for students on the programme, and these optional modules can directly replace and count towards the subject of your choice.
We offer three strands within our curriculum:
- Project based learning
- Experiential learning
- Optional study abroad (for non-language students)
Our final year project modules offer you an opportunity to research a topic that engages you. You could focus on one of your subject areas or bring your subjects together to conduct an interdisciplinary project. You can also negotiate the output format with your supervisor and will receive support from them to develop as a researcher throughout the project process.
Our experiential learning modules offer you an opportunity to focus on your personal and professional practice. You will develop tools in reflective practice, and focus on increasing your self-awareness to prepare you successfully for life beyond graduation.
You can choose to integrate a study abroad experience into your degree, either for one semester, or between your second and final year of study. You will receive support from the team to make the most of this developmental opportunity. Students studying a modern language have the option to go on a year abroad and receive support from The School of Modern Languages during this experience.
Teaching staff within the centre, who bring a variety of disciplinary and research experience, deliver the Combined Honours modules.
Stage 1
Combined Honours Stage 1 Module
Social inequality affects our culture, our politics, our economies, our bodies and our planet. To understand these intersecting manifestations of inequality, we should not think only as literary critics, economists, sociologists, historians, or political theorists. Instead, we should consider how these different disciplinary perspectives (and many more) might be brought together to expand our understanding of social justice.

Combined Honours Project modules - Stage 3
If you want to do an in-depth independent project in your final year on a topic of your choice, we've developed project modules. Project modules are available to Combined Honours students who want to undertake a research project into one or a combination of their subjects of study or a related field. This may be interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary or drawn from a single discipline in focus. You choose your own project and the type of ‘output’ is your choice too. It could be a research report but it could also be a film, a website, or a play. There are two modes of support on these modules; workshops and supervision.
These modules are HSS3500 or HSS3099 in Final Year.
