This section sets out why studying this programme is important, both in terms of inspiring you as an individual and in considering the challenges we face. It describes how this degree programme contributes to:
Theatre and German are complementary subjects that are mutually reinforcing. The Joint Honours programme allows students to enrich their understanding of Theatre and Performance through the study of German culture and language, and vice versa. This programme provides an opportunity for those students who wish to pursue studies in both subjects. Students spend half of their time in each Department, and are taught separately in each subject. In Theatre, students follow a comparable developmental path to Single Honours students but take fewer practical options (some practical units are still available to Joint Honours students). Students spend their third year studying or working in a German-speaking country, enriching their cultural knowledge and exposing them to diverse learning opportunities. Students conclude their Theatre and Performance studies in their fourth year.
The theatre component is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of performance/theatre, and to equip them to use the critical, theoretical and practical skills central to the discipline. Through historical and conceptual study, the programme enables students to analyse, research, interpret and understand performance/theatre from a critically and contextually informed perspective, and in certain options such as Melodrama, make comparative and cross-disciplinary connections. In addition to detailed and rigorous critical, historical and theoretical enquiry, the students also explore practical and creative approaches in some options. Final-year students will select independent study options, in which they can gain experience working in the creative industries, develop a practical project of their own devising, or produce an extended piece of scholarly writing. Having gained a combination of specialised and transferable skills, students are well-equipped to pursue a range of careers relating to the contemporary creative industries and arts-related professions, and within academic, professional and managerial sectors.
The aim of the German component is to deliver, within a programme which also includes work undertaken in a non-language department, a command of modern spoken and written German to a high level of fluency and accuracy, and also to provide the opportunity of studying the rich cultural, linguistic, political and social history of the German-speaking world since the Middle Ages up to the present day. The curriculum combines the traditional and the innovative, students gain an interest in and knowledge and understanding of the Germanic world, past and present, including its language, literature, broader culture, institutions and politics. Through the ages the language, culture and political and economic weight of the German-speaking world have made a lasting impact on civilisation in Europe and beyond, and today it remains a powerhouse at the centre of the European Union. Learning the German language is the key to understanding this fascinating society and its complex development. The curriculum aims to promote the self-development of the individual learner and thereby to offer society the resource of intellectually trained individuals, capable of both independent and collective work, with both subject-specific and transferable skills. Graduates enter employment in a wide range of contexts, building on the skills and values of an education in the humanities.
The programme also enables students to include as options relevant units offered by other departments and at the level of the two home Schools and Faculty.
The learning outcome statements shown below for your programme have been developed with reference to relevant national subject benchmarks (where they exist), national qualification descriptors (see the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) and professional body requirements.

This section describes what is expected from you at each level of your programme. This illustrates increasing intellectual standards as you progress through the programme. These levels are mapped against the national level descriptors published by the Quality Assurance Agency.
Level C/4 - Certificate |
Theatre component: Year 1 is introductory, providing a foundation for second and third year learning and for fulfilling the programme’s outcomes. Students gain familiarity with performance forms, key theories and concepts, contexts and ways of analysing theatre and performance. Through workshops, practical skills are acquired, in theatre production, reading a script for performance and staging a play for an audience. In addition, students develop their ability to discuss issues and write critically about the arts in a broader cultural context, in dialogue with film and music students on the Criticism in the Arts unit. German component: Year 1 of the course has been expressly designed to lay the foundations which will allow students to fulfil the curriculum’s aims and objectives. A core unit in language is geared to lead students in the development of their language skills. The year introduces and includes preliminary work on some of the main themes and key concepts of German literature, history and linguistics to provide a familiarity with these disciplines. It enables students to understand the cultural heritage, historical development and modern contours of the German-speaking world. The expectation is that their work may require considerable direction from members of staff at this stage, and the Year 1 units are designed with this in mind. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
Theatre component: In their second year students take two lecture and seminar units, which expand their contextual and historical, cultural and political frameworks for understanding theatre and performance. Students deepen their understanding of performance forms, genres or periods through optional units, which draw on expertise from staff research and enable a focus on particular theatre practices. In these options, which are taught across Level I/5 and H/6, students are expected to improve their skills in both creative, collaborative practice and their ability to reflect critically and theoretically. Students’ capacity for self-directed learning is also developed, which is necessary preparation for Level H/6 (e.g. through researching longer essays, devising and realising group performance projects). German: In Year 2 students are expected to be able to demonstrate that they have expanded the range and depth of their knowledge in various areas of the discipline and their capacity to evaluate their work through the wide range of options available beyond the core language unit. The themes and language readings will be of greater depth and substance. Students will develop their analytical skills, their ability to structure their work and present it fluently. They will be encouraged in group work skills through active participation in seminars. They will be developing a capacity for self-directed learning (for example, through the researching and writing of essays and projects). Spoken and written language skills will be reinforced and enhanced. The (third) year abroad in a German-speaking country enables students to develop significantly their fluency in the German language, and their cultural familiarity with the German-speaking world. Students undertake work or study placements, produce reflective work on their experiences and development, and complete an academic project in German. |
Level H/6 - Honours |
Theatre component: In the final year, students take supervised independent study projects, chosen from: extended essay; written dissertation; practical performance project; work placement. They develop their individual interests, and conceive self-directed projects that prepare them for professional contexts or postgraduate study. Students produce longer essays, are expected to formulate more nuanced and sophisticated arguments, refine their ability to gather and assimilate information, and should be confident using more advanced theory. Their knowledge of forms, genres and practices becomes deeper and they are expected to produce more professional, conceptually-informed creative practice. Their knowledge and understanding (15A) should be in depth and advanced, they should show a mastery of intellectual and creative attributes (15B), demonstrate self-motivation, effective collaborative working, independent thinking and a range of transferable skills (15C). German: Students are expected to have expanded the breadth of their knowledge through the study of optional units; the units are more closely linked to staff research interests developing the conceptual and methodological approaches used with more depth and complexity. Students will be expected to develop further their ability to gather and assimilate information, to synthesise these in an appropriate way, to engage in sophisticated evaluation of language texts. These skills will be perfected in the writing of longer and more demanding essays, already introduced during their study abroad. There will be an emphasis on independent learning, self-directed study and research skills. |

UG Workload Statement
Success as an undergraduate student depends on you being able to make the transition to self-motivated, independent learning. Programmes are designed to assist you in this development, in many cases by starting with units in which timetabled teaching, such as lectures and practical classes, provides the foundations of knowledge and skills in a subject, moving on to individual research-based work. Over time you will be expected to take increasing responsibility for your own learning, guided by the feedback on your work that you will receive. At the heart of your studies at every level there must be regular and disciplined individual reading, reflection and writing and it is this skill of independent studies, above all others, that will serve you best when you leave the University.
Most programmes use credits and a 20 credit unit broadly equates to about 200 hours of student input. This includes all activities related to the teaching, learning and assessment of taught units.
A component of this is the time that you spend in class, in contact with the teaching staff, which includes activities such as lectures, laboratories, tutorials and fieldwork. Some of this activity may be online and could consist of activity that is synchronous (using real-time environments such as Blackboard Collaborate) or asynchronous (using tools such as tutor moderated discussion forums, blogs or wikis).
In some programmes there are field courses and/or placements that will take place in concentrated periods of time.
Outside scheduled activities you are expected to pursue your own independent learning to build your knowledge and understanding of the subjects you are studying. Such independent activities include, reviewing lecture material, reading textbooks, working on examples sheets, completing coursework, writing up laboratory notes, preparing for in-class progress tests and revising for examinations.
We recognise that many students undertake paid employment. To achieve a sensible balance between work and study, you are advised to undertake paid work for no more than 15 hours per week in term-time.
Professional Programmes
Many undergraduates in the Faculty of Health Sciences will be following the professional programmes of:
For these professional programmes, full time attendance is compulsory unless absence is formally approved. Academic activities are timetabled throughout the 5-day week and student workload is around 40 hours per week on average. Where possible, students in the early years are permitted Wednesday afternoons for sport and extra-curriculum activities. This may not be available in later years of professional programmes as when a student progresses through the curricula there is an increasing exposure to clinical and professional activities. Students in clinic or on placements may need to stay later than core times of 08.00 – 18.00 or even overnight to observe out-of-hours activities. This increasing exposure to clinical activities means that students on these professional programmes often have longer term dates than the University standard. Individual years within programmes are likely to vary in length (for example because of the timings of placements) and further information on this will be found in individual programme regulations. Another important point to note is that many of the assessments sit outside of the standard University examination timetable and are likely to be more frequent meaning that students will more oftentimes be engaged in revision activities and self-directed learning.
Faculty of Health Sciences
Faculty Assessment and Feedback Statement for Undergraduate Students. University of Bristol access only.
This new programme emerges out of the existing Drama and German Degree and enables the continuity of this Joint provision.
The School of Modern Languages also offers a single honours German degree and joint programmes in German and Czech, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish, and with History of Art, Law, Music, Philosophy, Politics and Theatre. The Department has special links under the ERASMUS scheme with the Universities of Augsburg, Berlin Humboldt, Hannover, Heidelberg, Kiel, Leipzig and Graz.
The Theatre and Performance Studies component has been developed out of the existing Drama programme, which has effectively in recent years delivered a balanced curriculum across both film/television and theatre/performance studies. We wish to maintain a degree of cross-disciplinary optionality in this programme, as well as become open to the provision that becomes available from across the Faculty within Project Arts. Theatre and Performance Studies by its very nature is eclectic and hybrid, developing out of both language and literature studies; and we intend to maintain and develop that porosity; for instance encouraging students to study German theatre and dramatic texts.
The programme builds on the unique and distinctive strengths of Drama as was, namely the combination of internationally recognized scholarship and innovative practice-as-research, conducted in professional contexts, with the unique resource of the UOB’s Theatre Collection and the active partnerships at all levels with leading local and national arts-organizations. Teaching fellows will continue to offer practical production skills training, working alongside scholars to deliver performance projects to public audiences. These strengths in combination infuse and inform all the Department’s teaching, and provide its students with a highly distinctive provision: for instance, in terms of opportunities for engagement with archives and primary source materials, and industrial placements with leading artists in their field, such as Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, Mayfest, Bristol Old Vic and In Between Festival of Live Art.
