2. Description of the Programme
The BA (Hons) Global Cultural Studies and Latin programme is an exit route only and not available for direct application. Transfer to this programme is subject to agreement from the Director of Education and Student Experience for Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies.
You can switch to Global Cultural Studies after completing one or two years of the Modern Languages course. If you switch into the programme for second year, you will take only optional cultural modules from across LCVS (no core language modules) in second year. If you pass 60 credits of language modules over years 1 and 2 and then switch to Global Cultural Studies for your third year, this will be recognised in your degree title (see Programme Specific Award Rules).
3. Educational Aims of the Programme
Please see the programme specifications for BA Modern Languages and Latin for full details. The difference between programmes is that you do not take core language modules once you change to BA Global Cultural Studies and Latin and so do not develop your language skills to the same extent.
4. Programme Structure
The BA (Hons) Global Cultural Studies and Latin is a three-year full-time programme of study at Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) level 6 (as confirmed against the FHEQ). This programme is divided into three stages. Each stage is normally equivalent to an academic year. The programme may also be taken part-time in up to six years.
You begin on BA Modern Languages and change to BA Global Cultural Studies in the following cases:
You fail your core language at first or second year.
You are studying a beginners language and you do not do a year abroad, so transfer at the end of second year.
You decide you no longer want to study any core language modules after first or second year.
5. Programme Modules
The following tables describe the programme and constituent modules. Constituent modules may be updated, deleted or replaced as a consequence of the annual programme review of this programme.
Modern Languages modules https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/studyinformation/modules/?prog=mod-lang
Classics modules https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/studyinformation/modules/?prog=classics-ancient
You may take optional modules as long as any necessary prerequisites have been satisfied, where the timetable allows and if you have not already taken the module in question or an equivalent module. You are expected to balance your credits in each stage of the programme, taking 60 credits from Classical Studies, and 60 credits from Global Cultural Studies. You may switch to Global Cultural Studies after studying one or two years of BA Modern Languages. When you switch to Global Cultural Studies, you will no longer take core language modules, and instead take 60 credits of options per year.
Stage 1
Stage 1: 75 credits of compulsory modules, 45 credits of optional modules
Follow the guidelines for BA Modern Languages and Latin. The only difference between programmes is that core language modules are condonable, so if you fail a core language at first year, you can move onto the BA Global Cultural Studies and Latin as an exit programme.

Intended Learning Outcomes
A: Specialised Subject Skills and Knowledge
| Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) On successfully completing this programme you will be able to: | Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) will be... | |
|---|---|---|
| ...accommodated and facilitated by the following learning and teaching activities (in/out of class): | ...and evidenced by the following assessment methods: | |
1. Demonstrate understanding of and ability to analyse the structures and registers of Latin and the relevant modern language, appropriate to your stage of learning. | ILOs 1: Core language modules at Stage 1 include an introduction to language-learning strategies, with subsequent stages requiring you to make systematic use of the self-access material available in the library, in the Language Centre, and via web-based resources. Language modules at each stage use authentic materials in the chosen language/s, both written (texts in a variety of styles and registers) and spoken (oral classes with native speakers, together with use of TV and the electronic media). These forms of target-language material are used in a variety of ways, including reading or listening comprehension, translation, and production of related material in the chosen language/s through exercises such as summarising, essay-writing and oral presentations. Instruction is reinforced by regular formative assessment. Formal grammar is usually taught, both in seminars and through guided study of a textbook, at a level appropriate to each stage of the programmes and to level of achievement at the outset of the programme. | ILO 1is assessed by coursework marked throughout the year, and by end-of-year written and oral exams for the respective languages.

Typically, stage 1 modules are largely lecture-based while those at final stage are based predominantly on seminar-style teaching. | ILOs 10 and 14 are skills which underpin successful performance in virtually all academic assessments, whether written or oral, seen or unseen. |

11. Regulation of Assessment and Academic Standards
Each academic programme in the University is subject to an agreed College assessment and marking strategy, underpinned by institution-wide assessment procedures.
The security of assessment and academic standards is further supported through the appointment of External Examiners for each programme. External Examiners have access to draft papers, course work and examination scripts. They are required to attend the Board of Examiners and to provide an annual report. Annual External Examiner reports are monitored at both College and University level. Their responsibilities are described in the University's code of practice. See the University's TQA Manual for details.
