1. Programme Details

| Study mode(s) | Full Time Part Time |
Academic year | 2025/6 |
| Campus(es) | Streatham (Exeter) |

2. Description of the Programme
The BA (Hons) Global Cultural Studies programme is not available for direct application. Subject to the agreement of the relevant Director of Education, it is possible to transfer onto this 3-year BA Global Cultural Studies programme.
Global Cultural Studies is an exit programme, which you can switch to 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 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 so do not develop your language skills to the same extent.
4. Programme Structure
The BA (Hons) Global Cultural Studies is a 3-year full-time programme of study at Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) level 6 (as confirmed against the FHEQ). The programme may also be taken part-time in up to six years. This programme is divided into three stages. Each stage is normally equivalent to an academic year.
You begin on BA Modern Languages and change to BA Global Cultural Studies in the following cases:
You are studying only one language and you fail that language at first or second year.
You are studying more than one language and you fail all your languages at first or second year.
You are studying only 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
You may take optional modules with the agreement of the relevant Director of Education and/or Head of Discipline, as long as any prerequisites have been satisfied, where the timetable allows and if you have not already taken the module in question or an equivalent module. 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.
You may take elective modules up to 30 credits outside of the programme at any stage of the programme with the agreement of the relevant Director of Education and/or Head of Discipline, as long as any prerequisites have been satisfied, where the timetable allows and if you have not already taken the module in question or an equivalent module.
Stage 1
30-90 credits of compulsory modules, 30-90 credits of optional modules.
Follow the guidelines for BA Modern Languages. The only difference between programmes is that language modules are condonable, so if you fail a core language at first year, you can move onto the BA Global Cultural Studies as an exit programme.

6. Programme Outcomes Linked to Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods
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. Identify and evaluate the variety of approaches taken within the study of global cultures. | ILOs 1-3: The stage 1 (RQF level 4) culture modules give you a foundation knowledge on which to base your choice of options at higher levels, enabling you to explore and develop your interest in particular areas of global cultures.
Knowledge of the relevant aspects of global cultures is acquired through lectures and seminars, guided reading of primary and secondary texts (including those in non-printed media, e.g. film), and directed independent study. You learn to use the critical methodologies appropriate to the options chosen (literary criticism, linguistic or philological study, political or social history, film studies, etc) through writing essays, preparing seminar presentations and other forms of assessment, following initial guidance from lecturers, and through feedback on work submitted. | ILOs 1-3 are assessed by a combination of presentations, essays, portfolios, creative pieces and other tasks during the module and January/Spring written examinations. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
B: Academic Discipline Core 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: | |
4. Examine critically any form of discourse arising from the close reading and analysis of texts. | ILOs 4-7 are developed through lectures and seminars in optional modules, with progression from a relatively high level of input from lecturers at stage 1, to greater student autonomy at later stages. Modules at stage 3 (RQF level 6) (and to a limited extent also at stage 2 (RQF level 5)) are related to the research specialism of the staff teaching the module, giving you an insight into relevant research issues.
ILO 7 is implicit in all study of the cultures of another country, and all modules challenge you to reflect critically on your receptiveness to foreign cultures. | 4-7 are assessed by coursework and examinations, as described under A above. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
C: Personal/Transferable/Employment 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: | |
8. Identify and analyse problems and appropriate strategies for resolving them. | ILOs 8 and 12 are essential elements in all academic study, and are developed by teaching strategies which require progressively more initiative from you as you progress through the programme, at each stage building on the skills which you have acquired at earlier stages. Typically, stage 1 (RQF level 4) modules are largely lecture-based while those at the final stage are based predominantly on seminar-style teaching. ILO 13 is similarly developed throughout the programme. | ILOs 8 and 12 are skills which underpin successful performance in virtually all academic assessments, whether written or oral, seen or unseen. ILO 11 is assessed by the requirement to meet deadlines and observe word lengths or time limits in submitting work for assessment, with penalties if these are not met. |
