This course allows new topics to be taught, enabling a degree of flexibility within the curriculum, for emergent ideas to appear and be realised within the teaching and learning environment, and to reflect the changing interests and expertise of the academic staff. Therefore, there are no subject-specific aims and objectives here, but rather general aims and objectives, within which subject- content will be articulated. The course aims to study a particular subject in a comprehensive manner. Students will attend lectures on the subject, read on the subject, view relevant films, and carry out required modes of assessment. At the end of the course students will have a good understanding of the subject, and will be able to demonstrate that understanding in specified forms of assessment.
