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:
The programme combines in-depth study in a discipline with a broader exploration of the arts and humanities. Mandatory units introduce students to overarching themes of fundamental importance in the academy and society. In the discipline pathway, the programme delivers a core competence and advanced knowledge and understanding in selected areas. In the broader curriculum the student will gain an understanding of the connections between his or her pathway and cognate disciplines while developing advanced knowledge and understanding in selected areas. The programme stresses both the historical and contemporary relevance of the arts and humanities, and provides opportunities for engaged learning with partners outside the university. All students will take at least one unit in a foreign language, and a unit in quantitative skills. Skills in writing, critical thinking and analysis are inculcated at all levels.
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.
Teaching, learning and assessment strategies are listed to show how you will be able to achieve and demonstrate the learning outcomes.
This programme provides opportunities for you to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes in the following areas:
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning/teaching methods and strategies |
---|---|
|
1 is acquired through mandatory units at Levels 4 and 5 and through the structure of the programme, combining a subject pathway with options in other subjects 2–5 are acquired through mandatory units at Levels 4 and 5 6 is acquired either by choice of a language pathway or by doing a unit in an ancient or modern language 7 is acquired through a mandatory unit at Level 4 8 is acquired through some aspects of mandatory units at Levels 4 and 5 and through a mandatory unit The Public Role of the Humanities at Level 6 9 is acquired through mandatory and optional units in the subject pathway Mandatory Liberal Arts units are taught by means of one or more of the following: lectures, small classes (seminars), group discussion, student presentations, engaged learning, peer-assisted learning, VLE tools (Blackboard), dissertation preparation tutorials. Directed reading and independent learning are important strategies, through weekly assignments, written coursework and, in the final year, a substantial piece of research on a subject of the student’s choosing. Feedback on assessments is given through tutorials and written comments. Within the subject pathway additional teaching methods and strategies may be deployed such as fieldwork, practical sessions (e.g. archaeology, music, film) or language classes. |
Methods of assessment (formative and summative) | |
In the mandatory Liberal Arts units forms of assessment include: formative and summative essays testing understanding of a single topic within a unit in detail. Oral presentations provide diagnostic and formative assessment. Shorter exercises in core skills units, designed to assess research and communication skills, analysis and interpretation of evidence etc. In the third year, an extended project (the dissertation). In language units, regular tests and assignments. In subject pathway units additional forms of assessment will include some of: examinations, projects, portfolios, critical diaries and online contributions. |
Programme Intended Learning Outcomes | Learning/teaching methods and strategies |
---|---|
|
Intellectual skills are developed through seminars, tutorials, class discussions, oral presentations and essay writing. Units are structured in such a way as to promote the development of skills of research, analysis, synthesis and critical evaluation. 13 is delivered by the mandatory and optional units in the subject pathway. 14 is delivered by the mandatory units at levels 4, 5 and 6, by the structure of the programme which combines a subject pathway with options from other subjects, and from the level 6 dissertation which will draw upon what has been learned in the pathway and other units. |
Methods of assessment (formative and summative) | |
Essays and other forms of written assignment test the students' ability to analyse, evaluate and organise information, and to present reasoned arguments based on appropriate selection of evidence; research skills are also assessed through written coursework and the final year dissertation (1–10, 12). Oral presentations provide diagnostic and formative assessment of this skill (3). Accompanying written reports after oral feedback, seminar discussion and/or peer review assess 11. 13 is assessed by methods appropriate to the discipline in mandatory and optional units at levels 4, 5, 6. 14 is assessed by assignments in the mandatory units and by the level 6 dissertation. |

|
Written assignments of various kinds in the mandatory and optional units impart skills in research, analysis and communication. Seminars are used to develop oral communication by requiring students to engage in class discussions and to give short presentations. IT skills are developed when researching work (many e-resources) and submitting essay assignments, through training sessions at level 4 and for the dissertation, and in the mandatory level 4 numeracy unit. All units now make use of Blackboard; tutors in the Liberal Arts mandatory units will make use of its various functions (e.g. discussion board, wikis). Independent learning is required in all units. 9 is delivered by the mandatory units at levels 4, 5 and 6, by the structure of the programme which combines a subject pathway with options from other subjects, and from the level 6 dissertation which will draw upon what has been learned in the pathway and other units. |
Methods of assessment (formative and summative) | |
Essays and other forms of written assignment test the students' ability to analyse, evaluate and organise information, and to present reasoned arguments based on appropriate selection of evidence; research skills are also assessed through written coursework and the final year dissertation (2–4, 8). Oral presentations provide diagnostic and formative assessment of this skill (4). Accompanying written reports after oral feedback, seminar discussion and/or peer review assess 5 and 8. 6 is formatively assessed by the TEL element of mandatory units and 10 by the use of e-resources and online submission in completing various assignments in mandatory and optional units. 9 is assessed by assignments in the mandatory units and by the level 6 dissertation. 11 is assessed in units in the subject pathways that have examinations. Independent learning is necessary in most assignments, whose assessment reflects 1, 7, 12. |
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 |
Year 1 has been designed to lay the foundations which will enable the student to fulfil the programme's objectives. Mandatory units provide both knowledge and skills while optional units start students on a pathway and allow the exploration of other subject areas. It is expected that students' work may require considerable direction and guidance from staff at this stage. |
---|---|
Level I/5 - Intermediate |
Year 2 is intended to complete the foundations of skills and knowledge though the two mandatory units, while the optional units expand knowledge and understanding in the subject pathway. Students will be expected to grasp and apply the underlying concepts, principles and methods appropriate to their area of study, to show a greater degree of independence in the interpretation of evidence and construction of arguments, and to present their work effectively. |
Level H/6 - Honours |
At this level students are expected to make use of the knowledge and skills acquired in the first two years in researching and discussing topics in much greater depth. They will work at a higher level of methodological and conceptual complexity. They will be expected to work more independently in gathering and assimilating information, synthesising it in an appropriate way and engaging in the sophisticated analysis of relevant evidence. There is an emphasis on self-directed study and the development of research skills, especially through the compulsory dissertation. |

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.
The option of doing an integrated Master of Liberal Arts (MLibArts), a four-year programme with third year abroad (whose first two years are identical to the BA) instead of the three-year BA, is nearly unique (Exeter is similar in this respect, but the first two years are differently constructed). Students can leave their options open in this regard until the end of the second year (though if they are minded to go abroad they will need to have made an application in November of the second year).
