Bachelor of Science in Politics with Quantitative Research Methods with Study Abroad

at University of Bristol - Clifton Campus United Kingdom

BA Comparative Literatures and Cultures offers an exciting opportunity to study a wealth of international cultural production in depth and breadth.

You will study the literatures and cultures of the world in comparative frameworks that draw on methodologies from textual, cultural and visual studies, as well as from translation, philosophy, history, social science and critical theory. Texts will be read in English translation.

In the first two years you will study core units such as: What is Comparative Literature and How Do We Practise It?; Introduction to Visual Cultures; Popular Representation and Institutions of Culture; and Migrations of Culture.

In year three you will complete an innovative, supervised, independent project consisting of an extended essay on a topic of your choice and a public-facing element presented to the entire cohort e.g. prospectus, interview, catalogue, teaching materials.

Additionally, you will have a wide choice of optional units based in either the culture of a single language or a combination of cultures. Units are informed by staff research interests and you will be taught by experts in their fields.

Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, case study explorations, reports and dissertations. 

This programme encourages a range of attributes that are highly valued by employers, such as intercultural understanding, analytical and critical thinking, clarity and self confidence in communication, an aptitude for collaborative work, and creativity.

The course will instil habits of curiosity, openness, rigour, self reflection and evidence-based thinking, which will prepare you for a flexible career across a wide variety of sectors.

Studying a combination of history of art and Spanish offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges. It provides a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to an increasingly globalised workplace.

Spanish is the second most widely spoken European language in the world and is the second language of the United States. The Department of Hispanic, Portuguese and Latin American Studies has a strong specialism in Latin American film and visual culture. 

You will study a combination of language, art history and culture units, spending your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country on a study or work placement. While abroad, you will refine your skills in your chosen language along with your cultural understanding.

Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment for our students as staff respond in their teaching to new developments. All modern languages students have access to our state-of-the-art multimedia centre.

This is a one-year, full-time degree program aimed at qualified dental clinicians looking to develop competency in clinical oral medicine.

It also considers and incorporates the basic principles of evidence-based medicine that are relevant to clinical and modern translational practice.

Contemporary educational methods will be used to determine and monitor knowledge base, as well as using workplace-based assessments for clinical competency. You will be supervised by clinical and academic staff within an established and integrated specialist clinical training and educational environment. There will be continuous verbal feedback and support to help develop skills for individual reflection and self-assessment.

In the second term, the program moves on to critical analysis of media music and film scoring, with an emphasis on longer-term projects for film and TV. This work feeds into original collaborations that you may choose to include in your final portfolio.

The vibrant musical life of the Department of Music provides opportunities for student and professional performance, and we are located at the heart of one of the UK’s leading cities for broadcast, commercial and creative screen media.

This course combines the broad academic content of our business and management degree with an overseas dimension that reflects the global nature of modern business.

This degree is the same as the three-year BSc Business and Management course until you get to year three, which you will spend studying business and management in the host language of a partner university. You will have already developed your existing language experience by studying the language of your host country during your first and second years.

You will return to Bristol for your fourth year, during which you will complete a dissertation. This is a piece of individual research in which you can focus on a topic that stimulates your interest the most.

Alongside completing your dissertation, you will take other core and optional units as you progress through the degree.
