It’s a big change from my life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – city life there is very different but I wanted to experience a new way of living. “I had a lot of email contact with the international office before I arrived at the University. They helped me make arrangements and reassured me about moving to the UK to study. “I remember being nervous about starting at Winchester but there’s lots of opportunities to meet other international students in the same position and I quickly made so many new friends. The students on my Business Management course and my flat mates are all great so I settled in really quickly. “When I graduate I’d like to get a job in public relations or marketing and return to Asia.”

English language requirements and support All undergraduate candidates are required to have achieved a minimum of IELTS 6.0 (including 6.0 in writing) for entry into Year 1/Level 4. This applies to all programmes, with the following exceptions: • BA (Hons) Business Management (top-up) – IELTS 6.5 is required (including 6.5 in writing) • BA (Hons) Journalism – IELTS 7.0 is required • BSc (Hons) Social Work – IELTS 7.0 overall is required, with no element below IELTS 6.5 If English is not your first language, or if you do not feel confident in using English in the academic context, the University can provide you with professional academic language support. There are two ways to access this support – attend one of our pre-sessional programmes before joining your degree programme and/or seek in-sessional support while studying here. Both the pre-sessional programmes and in-sessional support provide you with skills in English for Academic Purposes (EAP). The sessions are designed to recognise your individual, cultural and language situation first – this helps us to identify your specific needs enabling us to assist you with the transition of your current communicative skills to those expected at your chosen level of study. EAP helps you to achieve the appropriate functional and academic English that you require to succeed at university.

Pre-sessional programme Pre-sessional programmes give you the head start you need to succeed on your subsequent degree programme – depending on your English language ability you may be on a shorter or longer programme. The weekly timetable covers classes on EAP, as well as lectures and seminars on various subjects delivered by lecturers from different faculties across the University, and tutorials. This helps you become familiar with the expectations of studying a degree at Winchester. Succeeding on a pre-sessional programme means you are better prepared for your degree studies. Please visit our website at www.winchester.ac.uk/eltsu for more information, including fees.

In-sessional support This support pairs you with a professional language teacher who works with you to help set and achieve your goals, both improving your academic performance as well as developing your abilities in English. You work in conjunction with a teacher to establish your language needs and develop a plan to support your academic English development. In-sessional support is a student-led service that offers time on task support for your degree programme. This service is free when you enrol at the University as a student.

The Vault in the Student Union is currently the Best Venue (under 1,000 capacity) in the national Ents Forum competition. We have also won the national award for the Best Bar None three times, which recognises safe licensed venues.

We help students feel supported on issues that are important to them by leading a number of campaigns and initiatives around welfare. PLAYmates (Please Look After Your Mates) week happens during the first semester – it consists of events and information from University departments and external charities focusing on physical, mental, sexual and financial wellbeing. We also offer Student Listeners, a peer-support scheme where students are trained in basic counselling skills so they are able to listen and support other students (see page 24).

Student engagement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shape your future At Winchester, we believe that students can be powerful change agents in shaping their university experience. The University and Winchester Student Union offer a variety of schemes encouraging students to get involved.

The Student Listeners Scheme is a peer support programme where students are trained in listening and helping skills by our qualified professionals here at the University, so that they can provide one-to-one informal and confidential support. As students themselves, they have a level of empathy and understand what it is like to be a student here in Winchester, and they may have faced the same concerns.

The Student Academic Representatives (StARS) scheme allows you to be the voice of your cohort and represent fellow students at Programme Committee Meetings. To ensure the student voice is heard, students are invited to give feedback about the course so improvements can be incorporated. The Student Union provides training on how to be the voice of your cohort and there are many opportunities to put your skills to good use throughout your time as a Student Academic Rep.

The purpose of the Student Fellows Scheme (SFS) is to recruit, train and empower students who can work alongside academics and professional staff on educational development projects. SFS projects address a range of topics which vary in scope and size, but are relevant to enhancing the student learning experience. Changes made include better lighting on campus, a lounge for commuting students and the design of a new module in Modern Liberal Arts. The Student Fellows themselves have to be highly committed to their projects. In return, they receive experience and insight about academic processes in Higher Education, project management skills, research training and experience, dissemination opportunities, and a bursary of ÂŁ600.

Tuition fees and financial support

At Winchester we help guide you through the process of how much university will cost. Going to university is a real investment in your future and there is financial support available to students for both tuition fees and living expenses.

Tuition fees for Home (UK)/EU students We set our tuition fees at a level that makes sure you receive a degree experience which is high quality and distinctive, with first‑rate facilities. We are committed to continual development of the student experience.

Full-time UK/EU undergraduate students only begin to repay the Government tuition fee loan once they have graduated and are earning £21,000 or more. The amount you pay back per month depends on the amount you earn. This is currently 9 per cent of your income above £21,000 so, for example, if you earn £25,000 you will repay about £30 per month (based on 2016 entry figures).

At the time of going to print we are in the process of confirming our tuition fees for 2017.

Tuition fee increases

The costs for 2016 entry for a BA/BSc/LLB (Hons) degree: • £9,000 per year (full-time) • £ 1,125 per 15 credit module (part-time) – the maximum part-time fee charged in a given year will not exceed the Government permitted rate of £6,750 (maximum 90 credits) • £700 for placement year (where applicable) Our 2017 tuition fees will be published on our website as soon as details are confirmed.

However, in 2016 all eligible part-time undergraduates who study for at least 25 per cent of the full-time equivalent course are able to apply for a loan to cover the costs of their tuition, which means you no longer have to pay up front.

Tuition fee payment Student Finance notify you if you have been approved for a Tuition Fee Loan and will pay the University direct.

Evie Laws “My Dad was in the army, stationed in various places in the UK and overseas in Cyprus, Canada and Bosnia. We moved around a lot, lived on the barracks and I went to numerous schools, often only seeing my Dad at weekends. “I always thought I would follow in my Dad’s footsteps but I decided to go to university. Campus life at Winchester is similar to living on the barracks – it’s a close-knit community that feels safe and secure, and you get to know a lot of people and they become your family. The University has been really supportive to me. “I’m a Higher Education Ambassador and give workshops to school children who are from military families. I encourage them to consider their options and have the confidence to go to university. Military children are adaptable and emotionally strong individuals so moving away and starting university appeals to their strengths. It can also help them move up the military ranks more quickly. “I’ve really enjoyed being a role model and working with children, and it’s made me realise that I want to become a secondary school teacher. Winchester has opened my eyes to other possibilities.”

Disability support Winchester is committed to providing equal opportunities for all of our students. Our disability advice and support services are here to help and to ensure an inclusive learning environment. They work with students with a wide range of physical and sensory disabilities, medical conditions and specific learning differences. The best way for you to access our facilities in terms of your individual needs is to make an appointment to visit us before you apply. During your visit you meet a Disability Adviser who identifies the facilities you are likely to need and discuss support requirements and accessibility. You will also be able to speak with a member of the Disability team at the Open Days. If you are a UK student and live with a disability you may be eligible for the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). This Government funding enables disabled students to access additional support or pay for extra costs that occur due to a disability, including specialist equipment or one-to-one support.

“I have Congenital Muscular Dystrophy and need a wheelchair to move around. Before I started at Winchester I had a private tour with a Student Services Disability Advisor and they answered everything I needed to know. Once my application to study had been accepted, the Disability Advisor put all of my additional support in place, like my specially-adapted campus accommodation and someone to take lecture notes for me. “The lecturers have been very understanding and ensure that I get the most out of the course. Everyone is friendly and there is a lot of support available. My wheelchair broke down once halfway between the city centre and the campus – the University site stewards dashed out and found me, and pushed me up the hill back to my student residence! “Since going to Winchester I feel more independent, and that is testament to the support and experiences I’ve gained while studying. After graduation I plan to travel to America for three months before setting up a business as a photographer.”

Value Studies

Volunteering

Students on certain programmes (see below) have the opportunity to take optional Value Studies modules – they are able to take two different Value Studies modules during their course, but only one per academic year. Each module is worth 15 credits and delivered via small seminars (maximum 12 students).

Students have the opportunity to take the University of Winchester’s credit-bearing Volunteering module to gain valuable experience and life skills, whilst making a positive contribution to the local community and gaining credits.

The modules are offered by the interdisciplinary Institute for Value Studies at the University which enables students and staff to work together to explore fundamental questions about ethics, politics, art, religion and education. The work of the Institute is organised around long-term projects, central to each project are modules in the following areas: • Culture: High and Low

Students complete a placement within a local, national or international charitable or non-profit making organisation during what would normally be lecture/seminar contact time. Students are then required to submit an assessment at the end of the module – this normally comprises a reflective piece on the volunteering experience, their contribution to the organisation, the nature of charitable and non-profitmaking organisations and the skills and experience they have gained.

• Cosmopolitanism: Political Values in the Age of Globalisation

Animals, Welfare and Society at Winchester is a broad-based degree enabling students to consider complex relationships between humans and other animals.

Students study a range of issues including animal welfare; animal ethics; animal law; consuming animals; criminality and animals; animal representations; animals and policy; environment and animals; and animal advocacy. Throughout the course students explore crucial questions about human relationships with other animals. How do we understand them? What are our responsibilities to them? Should we eat them? Why do we develop emotional attachments to them? Why do we vilify some animals and not others? An essential element of the course is how humans relate to other animals, and what it means to be human. This interdisciplinary course engages with scholarly work from the arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences in order to examine how humans may reconsider their relationship with animals. The broad scope and thought-provoking content enables students to discover and explore their areas of interest.

Jordan Shaw BA (HONS) FORENSIC STUDIES “The course offers a wide range of modules, enabling me to gain critical evaluation skills as well as a general knowledge of forensics. It covers some challenging and sensitive content, but that’s the nature of forensics in the realworld. “The new forensics lab on campus is outstanding and we’ve had the opportunity to borrow equipment to complete our assignments. There’s a great group dynamic on the course and the support from the tutors has been excellent. “The module on presenting forensic evidence gave us a real taste of what it would be like to follow a career in forensics and the responsibilities you would have presenting evidence in court. I wrote an expert witness report and was crossexamined – it was really exciting and a great learning experience. “After graduating, I plan to study a Masters degree in forensic investigation at a military and defence training academy to enable me start a career in counter terrorism working for the Government or the military.”

Forensic Studies

Forensic Studies at Winchester enables students to engage with the key issues surrounding forensic detection methods and their application to a wide range of investigations into the problems presented by crime. Programme content

Core modules ✝

Forensic methods are a vital part of the criminal justice process, with many agencies relying on forensic detection to help solve a range of problems. The programme combines elements of criminology, psychology and archaeology to introduce students to a wide range of applied investigative techniques, grounded in both classic and contemporary theoretical perspectives.

Year 1 • Introduction to Forensic Science • Academic and Employment Skills • History of Forensic Science • Introduction to Criminology 1: Perceptions and Perspectives • Trace Evidence • Forensic Biology • Police and Police Work • Key Thinkers and Themes in Conceptualising Crime

Subject areas include techniques of forensic investigation, miscarriages of justice in the criminal justice system and forensic psychology. In Year 1, students are introduced to the core conceptual, theoretical, ethical and practical debates within forensic studies and build the foundation of core skills to enable students to engage with Years 2 and 3. The second year of the programme introduces specific forensic science practices, such as DNA analysis, in more detail and teaches students about key forensic roles, such as forensic anthropology, odontology and the role of forensic medical examiners. In the final year of the programme, students implement their knowledge and understanding through a number of projects and appreciate the complexities involved in collecting and presenting forensic evidence through a series of practical activities. Practical sessions complement this theoretical focus, allowing students to engage with particular forensic techniques. Students come to understand forensics as an interdisciplinary field where several subject areas converge to create a dynamic area of study.

Archaeology AT WINCHESTER Winchester was Roman Venta Belgarum, the market place of the Belgii tribe, and the Anglo-Saxon capital of the Kingdom of Wessex. Archaeology students may take part in a range of local projects – these differ each year but currently include excavations of Bronze Age barrows, Roman houses, medieval hunting lodges and World War II aircraft crash sites. We also run projects abroad with students, examining sites dating from Palaeolithic to modern – current projects are in Belgium, Georgia, Germany and the West Indies. Departmental facilities include computer, analytical and teaching laboratories for the processing, study and storage of fieldwork finds/samples. The Department also has the full range of field equipment – from tools for the excavation and recording of sites to state‑of‑the‑art geophysical and topographic survey equipment – and maintains ceramic, vertebrate bone and molluscan reference collections. Students taking BA (Hons) Ancient, Classical and Medieval Studies and BA (Hons) History, Civilisations and Beliefs follow a broader humanities route through their degree, which does not include a compulsory fieldwork element. These pathways emphasise a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the past that includes archaeological perspectives. For information about the teaching team, please visit the individual course pages on the University website at www.winchester.ac.uk/courses National Student Survey 2015 results revealed 100 per cent overall satisfaction in Archaeology at Winchester.

Ancient, Classical and Medieval Studies at Winchester focuses on the history and archaeology of ancient, classical and medieval Britain, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The programme builds on Winchester’s established strengths in the ancient and medieval, both in history and archaeology. Programme content Students study topics as diverse as Bronze Age civilisations; Classical Rome; the Anglo-Saxon era; Vikings, Normans and Charlemagne’s Empire; the Crusades; the Age of Discovery; and Late Medieval England and France. The programme trains students in the disciplines of both archaeology and history, enabling them to pursue careers in either subject. Modules in Year 1 provide a sound understanding of each discipline, the methodology of each subject and its applications. Analysis of documentary or excavated evidence helps to promote a good grasp of archaeological techniques, historical approaches, chronological time periods and, in particular, the importance of teamwork, personal research and presentation skills. Year 2 is more wide-ranging, offering a series of optional modules whereby students can select to study a variety of diverse topics or make a focused selection of modules that follow a particular theme. Study in Year 2 aims to hone skills in presentation and fieldwork.

Tim Lester BA (HONS) ANCIENT, CLASSICAL AND MEDIEVAL STUDIES “I really enjoyed history at school, and was particularly passionate about the ancient and medieval aspects – this varied degree has been the perfect expansion of this. “There’s such a wide choice of modules and you’re able to specialise on periods that interest you the most. I’ve chosen a more in-depth exploration of the Romans, the Viking age and Greek history, which was bought to life by us acting out parts from Greek plays! “The archaeology modules have been interesting and it’s been great having the opportunity to do fieldwork. I’ve worked alongside archaeology students on an excavation at the St Mary Magdalen site near Winchester, which was a medieval leper hospital. This helps bring the subject to life, and enrich the learning experience. “Those working in the Careers Department here at the University have been great, offering advice as I look towards the future. I plan to take a gap year next year to gain more life experience before doing a PGCE for primary school teaching.”

Christopher Gagen BA (HONS) ARCHAEOLOGY “Studying Archaeology at Winchester is excellent. The department leads a large number of amazing research projects locally and overseas, providing great opportunities for us to learn and gain practical training. “I spent most of the summer at the site of St Mary Magdalen Hill in Winchester, a former medieval leper hospital. We excavated the chapel and the cemetery, and I’ve been involved in research to establish more about how the lepers were cared for and the history of the hospital and almshouse. “There’s such a wide range of modules to choose from and the tutors have a diverse range of expertise across time periods and continents. Their teaching is based on their research and this helps bring the lectures to life. “I plan to go onto study MA Cultural Heritage and Resource Management at Winchester, to pursue my interests and hopefully a career as a curator of artefact collections in a museum.”

Students explore the interactions between cultures and religions in both historical and contemporary contexts, and come to a new understanding of the world. Programme content Students gain a critical, yet empathetic, appreciation of views of the world which differ from our own in time and space. They also see how our own culture today is influenced by civilisations and beliefs around us and before us. Whether their interests are in history, religion or current society and culture, students find their understanding, appreciation and awareness deepened by the integrated approach brought together in this degree course. In Year 1, students take a range of modules that introduce the methodologies of History, Archaeology, and Theology, Religion and Philosophy, along with the background to enable further study in Years 2 and 3. The course draws upon a focused set of modules across the three disciplines to introduce students to the multidisciplinary crossover of issues about culture, religion and society, and to help students further understand the way these issues are studied. It picks up both contemporary concerns about the nature and role of religion in society and also the growing interest in using diverse approaches to gain greater insights into the subject matter. The University hosts regular seminar series covering themes within History, Archaeology, and Theology, Religion and Philosophy.

Programme content The three-year BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance programme has been designed to encourage students to develop their technical knowledge and professional skills relevant to the discipline of accounting. This programme includes technical accounting modules, such as Audit and Taxation. These technical modules allow students to obtain the maximum number of exemptions from professional accountancy examinations that are available under this programme. This programme is an ideal first step for those students who wish to charter as an accountant, but it also provides a strong foundation for students who aspire to have a career in the wider financial sector. Alternatively, students may pursue the four-year integrated Masters programme – these students study for an extra year and graduate with an MAcc (Hons), as opposed to a BA (Hons). Students opting for the four-year MAcc (Hons) in Accounting and Finance develop their capacity for critical thinking, independent learning and research. The MAcc programme covers the analysis, synthesis and evaluation of contemporary accounting and finance issues. The aim is to contribute to the development of higher level professional skills and competencies.

Mirium Eklund Ramos BA (HONS) BUSINESS MANAGEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE AND INNOVATION “I’ve always had a passion for business, and it was the variety of modules and the opportunity to use my creativity at Winchester that led me to specialise in enterprise and innovation. “I’ve developed a keen interest in change management. I plan to do my dissertation on how the younger generations are able to cope with change better because they have always been exposed to changing economics and the uncertainties of modern life. “I had the opportunity to participate in the Nielson Case Competition along with six other UK teams. It challenges students to address a real-world business issue and present solutions to create a competitive advantage. My team won the UK contest and we flew to Athens to compete with universities from across Europe. It was a great opportunity and it’s really helped enhance my CV. “I did a placement year at a power management company working in its operational supply chain department. The experience has encouraged me to become a project manager working in operations management, and I’d like to gain a more technical understanding of the systematic processing side of business.”

Safiya Francis BA (HONS) EVENT MANAGEMENT “I’ve always been interested in events and Winchester is one of the best universities in England to study event management. “The whole course is fascinating and I’ve particularly enjoyed enhancing my knowledge of events management alongside developing my business and project management skills. I love having the opportunity to pitch, plan and execute an actual event. I have gained practical experience from a three-month placement at the Winchester Discovery Centre and through my work on events such as the Winchester Hat Fair and Boomtown Festival. “I recently won two academic awards – the prize for one of them is a six-week paid internship at a local sports events company. I also have a three-month hospitality internship arranged with a Beijing hotel chain this summer. “I plan to do a postgraduate degree in cultural event management, gaining insight into the creative arts sector before pursuing a career in business events.”

Fashion: Media and Marketing at Winchester covers a broad spectrum of roles and so it really appealed to me. “The course has been absolutely fascinating, and I’ve made friends here that I know I’ll have for life. “Writing is one of my strengths and the Fashion Journalism module offered the perfect opportunity to hone my skills – I wrote some great articles for my professional portfolio. I also really enjoyed the business modules which encompass everything from entrepreneurial skills to marketing. “We often have industry professionals come to the University to speak to us and we’ve benefitted from field trips to London – the true hub of fashion.

Lauren Stott BA (HONS) EDUCATION STUDIES (SPECIAL AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION) “I was drawn to this course at Winchester as it offered the opportunity to explore issues faced by learners that may be at risk of exclusion within education, and how such exclusive practices can be addressed. It does not solely focus on the traditional special educational need schools and learners with impairments – it’s concerned with inclusion and exclusion across all aspects of education including race, gender, impairment, religion, and social and economic status. “I’ve been working with adults with learning difficulties as a support worker for over three years. I help people with their care plans, routines, and medicine, and provide support with any issues they may have. “Juggling family life and study has been a challenge at times but I’ve enjoyed pushing myself and I’ve learned so much that will help me in the future. “I plan to train as a social worker either doing the Step Up to Social Work programme or the MSc Social Work at Winchester. I’m also considering becoming a youth worker or working with parents who have children with additional needs.”

UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2017 / WWW.WINCHESTER.AC.UK

Daniel Ayris BA (HONS) MODERN LIBERAL ARTS (PHILOSOPHY) “I’m a naturally curious person and for me Modern Liberal Arts interrogates the big questions in life, without getting bogged down with the admin of philosophy. It challenges many different perspectives such as arts, literature, philosophy and science, and encourages you to apply what you learn to your own life and decide what sort of person you want to be. “The small cathedral city feeling of Winchester really appealed to me, as it’s similar to my home town of Canterbury. Winchester is a quiet place to live with lots of quaint places to visit – the perfect backdrop to study liberal arts. “I’m really looking forward to our field trip to Florence. The city is the home of liberal arts and we will get to experience what it would have been like to live during the renaissance and debate it in its original setting. “I am interested in continuing my studies and hope to complete the MA Modern Liberal Arts at Winchester.”

They read and reflect on many of the most influential texts in the Western tradition, and beyond it, and discuss their own responses both in writing and orally. The core modules undertake an adventure into some of the most profound questions concerning human existence and the idea of freedom. The optional modules look at many aspects of liberal arts education in detail, enabling students to pursue areas they are most interested in, including studies in the Holocaust, nature, the soul, religion(s), art, music, science, literature, and education. The core and optional modules share a philosophical approach in exploring their issues and questions. Study on the programme draws on classical and modern texts, as well as contemporary and popular culture, including film, music and art.

American Studies at Winchester provides a broad understanding of American culture by bringing literary, historical, geographical and other perspectives to bear upon a wide range of materials including books, film, TV, music, popular culture and the Internet. Students may study at an American partner institution as part of the University’s American Exchange scheme, and attend a field trip to the USA. Programme content As the United States is complex, diverse and globally influential, this programme offers students the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills to fully evaluate the complexities of the USA. The programme is composed of modules which are typically organised around a theme, for instance the Presidency, African-American Culture, Classical Hollywood, American Gothic, Contemporary Film and the phenomenon of Sex and the City. In such modules, ideas and theories about gender, ethnicity and race, and other forms of identity are used to analyse American culture and to debate political issues. Study in Year 1 introduces students to the core ideas, such as American national character and the opportunities and challenges of modern multicultural America. The growing focus in Year 2 is on American culture and history, with a shift towards contemporary America in Year 3. We believe students do better when they study what they are interested in, so while there are some core modules, mostly students are able to choose from a range of optional modules.

Jackson Gregory BA (HONS) AMERICAN STUDIES “I visited lots of universities and never got a buzz from them – Winchester was the only one I could envisage myself at. The campus has a modern feel about it and the city is lovely. I’ve always been interested in film and literature, and American Studies here gave me the opportunity to combine both alongside studying aspects of the USA. “There’s a huge range of modules available from Southern Cultures to Conspiracy Theories, with plenty of opportunities to study film. We’ve looked at a diverse range of American literature and film including The Wizard of Oz, Stepford Wives and Fight Club, and examined their influence on American culture. “For me, the biggest highlight has been the American fieldtrip – it was an invigorating experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity. We were there for two weeks, stayed in three states, and visited sites including the Las Vegas Strip and the Grand Canyon. I’m desperate to go again as there are so many more places and cultures to explore!”

Tom Shuttleworth BA (HONS) CREATIVE WRITING “I studied a lot of science at school and before going to university I took two years out to work and travel around western Europe, Australia and the Emirates. When I returned I knew I didn’t want to work in a laboratory doing maths and so I decided to study a subject that allowed me to explore new interests in scriptwriting and journalism. “This course offers a wide choice of modules with plenty of opportunities to specialise in areas that you’re most interested in. There’s lots of support from tutors to help develop your writing, and you are encouraged to share your writing in workshops to gain feedback from your fellow students. “I’ve developed an interest in non-fiction and I’ve enjoyed learning how to write in an engaging style without twisting or embellishing the truth. “My dissertation documents a series of interviews with Iraq and Afghan war veterans exploring their perspective on war and foreign policy. After graduation I plan to either work in publishing or enter journalism and become a war correspondent.”

UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER / SHAPE YOUR FUTURE

Creative Writing

Creative Writing at Winchester is a practice-based discipline with workshops designed to encourage students to evolve as writers in new and individual ways. Programme content The programme enhances the skills of every evolving writer at their own pace and in their own way, showing them how their work relates to the wider realms of literary and cultural context. The course seeks to move students progressively through a structured series of writing assignments and exercises, working on all genres of writing in the first year, and then allowing them to specialise in Year 2 and 3. It develops the students’ own work by giving them positive critical encouragement and direction throughout. This is enhanced by a workshop environment which helps students form a critical understanding of their own writing and the writing of others. Guidance is given on audience (for example editor, agent or publisher) where appropriate. In Year 2, the focus becomes more specific with modules that concentrate on elements of different genres such as writing for children, media writing, poetry, song and play, film and TV script. In Year 3, the modules look increasingly at the relationships between writing and the world beyond the University, exploring publishing, producing, community audiences, writing and teaching.

Creative Writing and Drama at Winchester allows students to extend their understanding of how to create texts while further considering how those skills might form part of a performance process leading to a variety of interdisciplinary outcomes or productions. Programme content This practice-based course offers workshops designed to encourage students to evolve as writers in new and individual ways and approaches writing in relation to wider literary and cultural contexts. Drama compliments this by exploring theories and practical approaches in relation to performance which allow students to develop their creative ideas through practice in industry or community contexts. The Drama elements have a contemporary focus but review the histories and traditions of theatre and performance, and interrogate what is meant by these in the twenty-first century. Throughout the programme, students continually develop their critical thinking to inform theatre-making skills and explore the extent to which drama is a tool for social change. In Year 1, students gain insights into the history of drama, the context in which dramatic production has taken place, how to make theatre, the political underpinning of texts and practices, and the ways in which texts and performances are viewed and interpreted. In Year 2, students study more specific modules looking at different genres and extend their practical and critical skills. In Year 3, students look increasingly at the relationships between writing and the world beyond the University such as publishing, producing, community audiences, writing and teaching.

Creative Writing and English Literature at Winchester introduces students to a practice-based and study-based understanding of how literary texts work through an engagement with writing in comparable genres and an exploration of literary history, theory and culture. Programme content Creative Writing at Winchester enhances the skills of every evolving writer at their own pace and in their own way, all the while showing them how their work relates to the wider realms of literary and cultural context. In English Literature, study is wideranging and includes modern and traditional literature, cultural study and critical analysis, Shakespeare and rap poetry. The Creative Writing programme seeks to move students progressively through a structured series of writing assignments and exercises, working on all genres of writing in Year 1, and then allowing them to specialise in Year 2 and 3. It develops the students’ own work by giving them positive critical encouragement and direction throughout. This is enhanced by a workshop environment which helps students form a critical understanding of their own writing and the writing of others. The English Literature elements in the first year provide an awareness of the range of different approaches to understanding texts and develop skills of critical analysis, research and writing. This is done through the study of an assortment of texts from various periods in history across the genres of prose fiction, poetry and drama.

English Language BA (Hons)/MLang (Hons) English Language at Winchester focuses on the linguistic make-up of English, exploring how it is used and what it tells us about our society, culture and mind in the past, present and possibly future. Students are encouraged to engage with real-world language in aspects of discourse analysis, anthropology, and concepts such as multimodality and materiality. Programme content

Core modules ✝

The course offers a coherent but varied range of topics, allowing students to specialise within areas (such as historic linguistics or sociolinguistics) whilst exploring other areas of the English language.

Year 1 • Approaches to Language Study • Understanding Language 1: Syntax and Morphology • Understanding Language 2: Phonetics and Phonology • Understanding Language 3: Semantics and Pragmatics • History of the English Language • Language CSI

In Year 1, students are introduced to many of the key concepts and skills that are required throughout the degree. In particular, the three Understanding Language modules provide students with the analytic building blocks for language study. Year 2 moves the students beyond the concepts and tools learned in the first year as they begin to apply these to language and discourse within the world around them, to both historic and contemporary texts. Students are increasingly expected to work with real data collected by themselves. In Year 3, students are able to specialise if they wish to and are encouraged to develop their own research interests. This culminates in an extended piece of work, either a dissertation or an independent project. Students wishing to pursue the four-year Integrated Masters programme study for an extra year and graduate with an MLang (Hons) English Language as opposed to a BA (Hons) English Language. Modules undertaken at this level encourage students to further enhance their awareness, critical thinking and independent learning and research.

James Bevan BA (HONS) ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES “English was my best subject at school and I’ve become fascinated with how the English language has developed. “I love how there is a fingerprint to the use of language, and forensic linguistics has become my main interest. Language specialists are increasingly used in criminal cases to help identify a person from their writing, speech or even text messages. Forensic linguistics can also be used to identify fake transcripts and plagiarism. As part of the course we’ve been learning the skills and examining documents to determine whether they’re authentic. “Winchester is the ideal city – there’s a lot of history and surrounding countryside with great transport links to London and elsewhere. Everything is within walking distance and I love going for a run or just sitting in the sunshine in the grounds of Winchester Cathedral. “I really want to build a career as a language specialist working in forensic linguistics in the civil service, security or intelligence communities.”

Classical Studies at Winchester explores the civilisation of ancient Greece and Rome, and its legacy that has fundamentally shaped all later civilisations including that of today. It is a multidisciplinary course blending History, Archaeology, Art, Drama, Literature and Philosophy. Programme content

Core modules ✝

Students may wish to pursue the three year BA (Hons) Classical Studies pathway or the four year Integrated Masters MClass (Hons) Classical Studies pathway.

Year 1 • Reading and Writing History • Introduction to Classical Archaeology • Introduction to Classical Art and Architecture • Introduction to Classical Literature • Introduction to Classical Philosophy • Introduction to Classical Theatre • Optional modules include The Classical World (500-31BC); Roman Britain; The Roman Empire (c44BC-AD476); Barbarians, Byzantines and Beyond (AD400-1050)

Study begins by establishing a framework of Classical history, both chronologically and geographically. Students are introduced to Classical archaeology, art and architecture (for example temples, sculpture and inscriptions); Classical drama (comedy and tragedy); literature (epics and lyrics); and philosophy (Socrates and Plato). The course explores the nature of each discipline and how each is best studied as the foundation for the rest of the degree. Classical languages are introduced in Year 2. Students take a range of modules in Years 2, 3 and 4 such as Civilisation, Theme, Depth and Comparative Studies that further develop understanding of the Classical world. Theme Studies explore continuity and change in the Roman household or depictions of the Classical World on film. Civilisation Studies explore one sub‑period (for example, Fifth Century Athens), covering mythology and drama, democracy and war. Students take two Depth Studies that establish a comprehensive knowledge of a particular period through primary and secondary sources. The Comparative Studies explore the Classical legacy in art and literature in subsequent centuries. The two culminations of the degree are the dissertation in Year 3 and the summative paper paving the way for more advanced research in Year 4.

Natalie Bartlett BA (HONS) CLASSICAL STUDIES “I was originally going to study ancient history to learn more about the Greeks and Romans. Classical Studies at Winchester expanded the wealth of topics to literature and archaeology, presenting an even more exciting opportunity for me. “I’ve loved studying classic literature – it’s beautifully written and I find the past really interesting. I developed a love of freestanding ancient Greek sculpture while visiting Greece, the birthplace of culture, and Roman history also interests me – they have greatly influenced our modern lives. I really enjoyed the fieldtrip to the British Museum in London too, it was fascinating. “The social aspect of university life is really important to me, as it’s not just about studying. There’s so many opportunities at Winchester – I’m a member of the Classics Society, Let’s Dance, the Brass Group and the orchestra and a few more! “I’d like to inspire others to be interested in history and the classics, and plan to do a PGCE to teach in secondary schools.”

Jessica Lear BA (HONS) GLOBAL HISTORY AND POLITICS “I enjoyed studying history and politics at school, but it had a narrow focus. What attracted me to this degree at Winchester was the variety of topics – it really does offer a global perspective. “I’d never studied Japan before, but I took one module on it in Year 2 and was hooked! It’s such a fascinating country and the tutors brought it to life, so I decided to make Japan the focus of my dissertation. I’ll be examining the food and diet of the country and how its limited resources and the US occupation after the Second World War resulted in it being more reliant on food imports. “I’m Chair of the Politics Society, a Student Rep and I’m also a campus tour guide at Open Days. These activities led me to be nominated for a faculty student engagement award. I feel these activities and the course have helped me develop a range of skills that can be applied to many careers.”

Sasha Cheung BA (HONS) HISTORY “I’ve always enjoyed studying history – there’s no limit to how far you can go and there are constantly new revelations being discovered. “The city of Winchester really drew me in – it’s great to study in such an historical city and one that also has so many literary links. Winchester was the ancient capital of England in the days of King Alfred the Great, and there’s such a wealth of architecture and classical artefacts in the city. There’s also Winchester Cathedral, where Jane Austen is buried. “I’m fascinated with the late medieval period, and particularly enjoyed comparing different cultures in England and France between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. I also enjoyed the Independent Study module which provided the opportunity to explore a topic of my choice in greater depth. “I like to keep busy outside of my studies. I’m very much involved in Foundation Music and have nine rehearsals a week for the six choirs and three instrument ensembles that I’m a part of. “I plan to continue my studies at Winchester, doing the MA History, and then go on to work in a museum as a curator or researcher.”

Programme content

Core modules ✝

Both courses offer a flexible programme of study for those in employment, so students may ‘earn while they learn’. The overall aim is to foster a reflective approach to the knowledge, understanding and skills which underpin work with young children. The view taken of the child is holistic and there is an emphasis on children’s social and emotional development. The programmes take an inclusive, positive and individualised approach to fostering children’s development.

Year 1 (Level 4) • Introduction to Higher Education • Perspectives on Childhood • Introduction to Social and Emotional Development • Core Practice Skills (work-based) • Understanding Children’s Learning • Developing Practice (work-based)

Students on the FdA Childhood Studies course benefit from regular seminar style sessions at the University where interaction with lecturers and other students provides a supportive and dynamic learning environment. Students on the Distance Learning course benefit from weekly twilight e-seminars with lecturers and other students, providing support and social interaction in an innovative environment. This pathway offers flexibility to students who are self-motivated and well-organised, and able to work independently to prepare for the e-seminars and complete online activities. For all students, sessions are generally not scheduled during school holidays to help students balance work, study and family commitments. All students study six modules in Year 1 (Level 4) and six in Year 2 (Level 5). Each year two modules are work-based, with links to practice featured throughout the programme, and the other four modules are University-based, or taught via e-seminars and online tasks for Distance Learning students.

Programme content The Childhood Studies (top-up) is a Level 6 work-based learning programme that builds on Level 5 work-based learning qualifications, for example the Foundation degree in Childhood Studies at Winchester (see page 132). Students broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding of a range of issues pertaining to children aged 0-11 and their families – gaining an understanding of the ecology of childhood and building competencies to work within a range of complex practical settings. Students compare and contrast policy, curricula and practice in the UK with those in other countries; examine recent research relating to childhood care and education; and develop research skills. Through these means, and through discussion of students’ experience in their work settings, students are enabled to adopt a critical stance to current issues in the field.

Lucie Edmunds BA (HONS) CHILDHOOD, YOUTH AND COMMUNITY STUDIES “I’ve been a Teaching Assistant for 10 years, and although training to become a teacher would be a natural transition I wanted to study a degree that provided more scope. “I was nervous about starting at university as a mature student, but my nerves went during the first week as everyone is friendly and inclusive. I found the Academic Skills module particular useful to give me the confidence I needed. The tutors are fabulous and offer a wealth of knowledge and expertise. “I do voluntary work for Hampshire County Council supporting missing children and their families and children from care; it’s challenging work but I’m a resilient person. I think it’s really important to be able to see the bigger picture and respect social diversity and ethnicity. “All the modules are interesting and offer large amounts of theory regarding child development and communities – I’ve gained so much knowledge and a better understanding of how to work with and inspire children. When I graduate I plan to either train as a teacher and return to working in schools or start a career as a family liaison officer.”

Health, Community and Social Care Studies BSc (Hons) Health, Community and Social Care Studies at Winchester is for individuals who want to make a difference through their practice in health and social care settings. Programme content Students explore a broad range of issues within health and social care across a range of different individuals and groups, and around various conditions or issues. There is an emphasis on effective, collaborative work with those who use, design and shape services. Issues within different professional settings are expanded and linked to how practitioners can support people’s needs in their communities. Theory and literature about how people and communities behave and the importance of understanding and reflecting our own response to service users’ needs is also a key focus. There is a core theme of empowering practice and user-led approaches in health and social care practice throughout the programme. Year 1 is foundational and provides an understanding of the contexts for health and social care. Students are introduced to theories concerning how people come to be placed and labelled as vulnerable, marginalised or problems in society. There is an exploration of the political and ethical influences on service provision, along with understanding effective skills in working with groups and individuals. During Years 2 and 3, students have the opportunity to engage in much greater depth with a range of key issues. Students develop the knowledge and understanding needed to be an effective worker in interdisciplinary and multi-agency working across a range of communities and care settings.

The degree was recommended to me by a colleague and I wanted to enhance my skills and job prospects, so I decided to apply. “The course is great and the University offers a multicultural environment that’s friendly and supportive. My favourite modules have been Law and Ethics and Critical Health and Social Care Practice, where I gained a better understanding of the current issues and approaches in health and social care. “I recently did a work placement at Age UK Winchester, serving food and chatting to elderly people. I really enjoyed the work and some of the individuals I was caring for were from my home country, Zimbabwe. “My job is challenging at times but I really enjoy helping people, encouraging them to succeed and take advantage of opportunities. When I graduate I would like to become a care manager or mental health nurse.”

Sara Preston BSC (HONS) SOCIAL WORK “I really enjoy working with people and social work offers the opportunity to create positive change in people’s lives. The external guest speakers who present regular masterclasses at Winchester have all created change and I aspire to be like them. “We get to experience social work and understand contemporary issues such as domestic abuse. It’s difficult, but as social workers we will come across these issues regularly. The course enforces that we have to be open minded and not make any assumptions – and ask yourself what’s the underlying cause? “I have four children and commute to the University from Basingstoke. It’s a balancing act but I get so much fulfilment from the course, and once I’m qualified – there’s lots of jobs out there. “My dissertation focuses on child protection from emotional abuse in elite youth sports. When I graduate I’d like to work in a child protection unit helping children who have been sexually exploited.”

Chloe Murthwaite LLB (HONS) LAW “I’m from a small coastal town and so I’m not that keen on big cities. Winchester is perfect – it’s a smaller city and the campus has a lovely community-feel about it. The lecturers get to know you, and your strengths and weaknesses – their feedback and support helps improve our development as lawyers. “I found media law really interesting. Freedom of expression is very important and we live in a democratic society, however privacy is important too and should we let the media publish what they like? “Law is a versatile degree – the skills developed are very useful in the business world too. Mooting, negotiation and client interviewing have formed the perfect training ground for me. “I’ve already applied for graduate jobs in the civil service and I’m also interested in business and accounting. If I decide later that I want to become a lawyer, I can then qualify and pursue a law career.”

Broadcast Television and Media Production BA (Hons) Broadcast Television and Media Production at Winchester is designed for students interested in deepening their theoretical knowledge and practical application of multi-platform media production. Students learn to use industry production techniques and produce work using current industry-standard equipment and post-production software, with a theoretical underpinning to critically reflect on their practice. Programme content Students gain the knowledge, understanding and skills to reflect on their work in the media, and to identify and respond in a reasoned, positive and reflective manner to initiatives and challenges in the sector. One key aspect of a career in the media is the continuous state of technological development. Accordingly, while training in particular technologies is part of the degree, an ethos across the programme is for students to develop a strategic approach to their career pathway and personal development so as to prepare themselves for a working life of continuous professional development. Students work towards specific projects in Year 1 to ensure an understanding of practical media production methods and their theoretical underpinning. Camera, lighting and sound production and its ever changing technology are explored, as are TV research methods. Year 2 allows students to begin to specialise and explore creativity within production groups; modules examine different media forms as well as TV studio, drama and documentary production. The Multimedia Project reflects the convergence of technologies found in the contemporary industry by asking students to create a project of their choice in one medium and produce supporting, promotional material in two other media. Students learn how to produce drama and documentary, culminating in a public film festival at the end of Year 2. Year 3 allows for more individual student-led learning while pushing creative boundaries within modules.

From the outset of the programme, students develop an online portfolio that allows them to demonstrate and challenge their creative ability as a means to chart their progress throughout their studies. In Year 1, students share a common programme of study with BSc Digital Media Development (see page 149) – this is a parallel programme that goes further into the application of technology in the production of digital media artefacts. The core theme of Year 1 is based around the design and development of websites, apps, games and the principles of interactivity. In Year 2, students develop practice in the following areas: web and interactive media design, animation and game design, and design for portable media. There is also an emphasis on client-based projects to give the students some experience of working on live projects. Although there are many crossover points, this focus enables students to explore a particular design ideology whilst building their confidence and expertise in a more defined area of practice. Students in Year 3 continue in their specialist area whilst being given the opportunity to study tailor-made projects.

Amanina Zaidi BSC (HONS) DIGITAL MEDIA DEVELOPMENT “I already had experience designing and developing websites, apps and games, and so I knew that was what I wanted to do more of at university. “Leaving Malaysia and starting at Winchester was scary but within a week I was very happy here – everyone was so welcoming and I soon realised that I wasn’t homesick, but I did miss my cats! “It’s beneficial to have a hybrid of design and development in Year 1, before choosing from a wide range of modules in Year 2 so you can focus on the areas that interest you most. I’ve enjoyed exploring game and app development in more detail, and building my professional experience working with clients on real projects. “The tutors are really supportive and encourage you to build your portfolio – I’m currently researching companies to approach for a work placement. I feel I’ve gained so much experience that will enable me to stand out and appeal to employers.”

Film Production

BA (Hons)

Film Production at Winchester is designed to extend knowledge and understanding of the creative dimensions and practical applications of filmmaking. Students acquire skills in the aesthetic and technological processes of directing, producing, screenwriting, editing, cinematography and sound. Programme content The programme offers a practical and aesthetic perspective on the film industry and cinematic techniques. In contemporary society, the development of culture industries such as film, television and the Internet has led to a surge in the number of people producing visual material for a trans-global market, including related areas in film production administration, archiving and distribution. The study of film production provides a practical way of thinking about these developments within the framework of academic study and offers ways of understanding this very important development in contemporary culture. Study places aesthetic, practical skills and knowledge within the wider filmmaking process in order to understand their role in creating meaning in film artefacts through the combination of various skills, techniques and technologies. At the centre of the course is a clear practical and theoretical film focus; here, the course team encourages and supports the development of students’ personal notions and ideologies as a means to develop filmic stories, which are realised in the production of their creative films through drama, documentary and experimental forms. The course also examines and engages with film criticism, cinema history, the production process and cultural issues surrounding film so that students can develop wider perspectives on the use and function of film production. Facilities Open 24 hours a day, the Multimedia Centre offers outstanding industry-standard facilities including two HD TV studios with

Courtney Cassidy BA (HONS) FILM STUDIES “I’ve always loved films – I work at a cinema, and I often go to the cinema to watch three films in one day! I really wanted a degree that would enable me to study film and gain practical film-making skills. “There’s a huge variety of choice and mix of theoretical and practical modules. The tutors have really interesting specialisms including animation, spoofs, B-movies and zombies. Screenwriting has been great – I was very excited to learn a new skill behind the scenes. “There’s lots of extracurricular opportunities to complement your studies. We’re planning to visit Berlin for their international film festival and experience the city, which has been the location for so many great movies. You’re encouraged to be a part of the Winchester Film Festival and there’s also the Winchester Short Film Festival. “I’d love to work for the BFI and be involved in archiving film, or the BBFC helping to age classify films for a UK audience.”

I’m Features Editor and it’s given us all the opportunity to report, present, produce, film and edit stories for live news bulletins and features. “We got to grips with political reporting by doing a live 18-hour broadcast during the general election. I was the Outside Broadcast Producer taking feeds from reporters in Winchester, Eastleigh, Southampton and Brighton – linking with the live show in the studio. “I was Vice-Chair of Sound Radio, the University’s radio society which broadcasts online to students.

Drama at Winchester is an exciting and innovative programme exploring theory, performance and production skills – it offers an equal balance between theory and practice. Programme content

Core modules ✝

The course has a contemporary focus but reviews the histories and traditions of theatre and performance, and interrogates what is meant by these in the twenty-first century.

Throughout the programme, students continually develop their critical thinking to inform theatremaking skills.

Year 1 offers introductory modules in the theory and practice of drama. Students gain insights into the history of drama, the context in which dramatic production has taken place, how to make theatre, the political underpinning of texts and practices, and the ways in which texts and performances are viewed and interpreted. In Year 2, students extend their practical and critical skills. The theories and practices that underpin the development of drama are explored, alongside practical aspects of performance. Alongside core modules, students are able to construct an experience of their own from a range of programme specific modules. In Year 3, students emerge as independent learners.

Martin Jakeman BA (HONS) DRAMA “I’ve known that I wanted to be an actor from the age of 6 – since I watched my first pantomime and was brought up on stage to improvise with the actors in front of everyone. “I developed a piece for the Making Theatre module, which I’ve now expanded into a 45-minute production that is to be performed at a pop-up theatre in nearby Stanmore.

“The tutors on the programme are very approachable and so enthusiastic about their subject, they are eager to share their research and experience. “I’m Vice-Chair of Performing Arts Winchester, the largest arts society at the University. It’s great to work with other students involved in performing arts and bring performances to the live stage.

“Last year I started my own theatre company, and when I graduate I hope to do a postgraduate degree at a drama school in London. I’m aiming to become a theatre actor – I love performing in front of a different audience every night.”

Programme content Education Studies at Winchester specialises in looking at educational themes, ideas and practices in the widest possible sense through educational theories and philosophies. Students explore a range of contexts from the classroom and the learner’s experience through to education as a lever for social and political change. Theoretical perspectives are drawn from themes which include gender, citizenship, representation, truth, power, childhood and inclusion. Modern, philosophical, cultural, social, psychological and historical perspectives are all used as analytical tools to help examine educational debates and a wide variety of educational themes and concepts. Students interrogate the educational process as a whole and seek answers to questions about the purpose, value, misuse and difficulties of education and learning. Complementing this, Drama has a contemporary focus but reviews the histories and traditions of theatre and performance, and interrogates what is meant by these in the twenty-first century. The extent to which drama is a tool for social change, and how it can be used within the educational system to enhance learning, can be explored.

Drama and English Literature BA (Hons)

Drama and English Literature at Winchester introduces students to an understanding of how literary texts work through a deep engagement with and exploration of literary history, theory and culture. Programme content The course introduces a breadth of study that includes modern and traditional literature, cultural study and critical analysis, Shakespeare and rap poetry. The study of non-performative texts alongside an appreciation of performance allows students a chance to think about how literary influences help to shape today’s theatre, and allows students to consider how to adapt literary texts for theatrical production. In Year 1, English Literature elements provide an awareness of the range of different approaches to understanding texts and develop skills of critical analysis, research and writing. This is done through the study of an assortment of texts from various periods in history across the genres of prose fiction, poetry and drama. Drama modules in Year 1 provide students insights into the history of drama, the context in which dramatic production has taken place, how to make theatre, the political underpinning of texts and practices, and the ways in which texts and performances are viewed and interpreted.

Modules here tend to be closely related to the research interests of teaching staff and engage with cuttingedge developments in the discipline. The

Drama Group Project allows students to create small companies to make a major performance or develop an applied/ Theatre-in-Education project.

Drama and Performing Arts at Winchester is a highly practical, dynamic programme allowing students to study the history and theory of performance – embracing popular and experimental forms – as well as creating pieces themselves. Programme content In Year 1, students are introduced to a full range of practical performance skills and knowledge of the history and context of Drama and Performing Arts. In Year 2, students study a number of different critical and reflective methodologies in viewing and analysing, and for creating texts and performance work. A wide range of optional modules are on offer so students may develop and pursue their own interests. Students focus on devising group and solo performances and synthesising different artistic forms and disciplines. They have the opportunity to devise, think about, discuss and critique a wide range of professional performances and art events. Students may create performances of any kind using the body, voice or digital technologies, in a theatre or site-specific location. They do not study texts to perform these; however, many practitioners use a text as a starting point for devising. They may also use a piece of music, image, event, short story or an environment. In the final year, all students undertake the Extended Independent Study. Students may negotiate to present it as a performance, a dissertation of 8,000-10,000 words, or as shorter dissertation with a practical performance.

It encourages student development by focusing on making practice-based contemporary work in an environment that is supported by critical, reflective reading, writing and thinking.

Popular Music

BA (Hons)

Popular Music at Winchester is a dynamic programme for those seeking a career in music in the twenty-first century. Students are given the option of studying modules in three key study areas: popular music practice (including songwriting, production, mixing and mastering), popular music business (including A&R, music journalism, event management and marketing), and criticism (including music history, sexuality, ethnographic studies and genre). Programme content Students spend Year 1 studying modules in all three areas (popular music practice, popular music business and criticism) before selecting optional modules in Years 2 and 3, thus shaping their studies to pursue the area of the industry most suited to them. Students learn to create songs from initial idea through to post-production; learn professional and home studio skills; critically engage with popular music lyrics; learn about the industry; and create business plans and marketing strategies for independent record labels and tours. The practical modules give students experience with songwriting (both lyrics and melody), production, mixing and mastering. The business modules provide an understanding of how the industry works now and may work in the future. They equip students with the skills to successfully market their own work and the work of other acts, whilst offering an opportunity to create music reviews, critiques, and feature articles. The modules in music criticism allow students to engage with popular music on a critical level, analysing the work of contemporary artists based on an understanding of the history of pop music whilst exploring music’s role in fashion, sexuality, politics, and philosophy.

Beatrice Cathro-Wears BA (HONS) STREET ARTS: PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION “Street Arts presented an amazing opportunity to combine my interests in drama and dance and do so much more – such as learning circus skills and performing at large-scale spectacle events. The tutors are inspirational and are all experts in their fields. “Sometimes I have to pinch myself about all the fantastic opportunities we get to be involved with. Recently, we visited Slovenia to learn about European street theatre. When we landed, we were met by a local street arts company dressed in military‑type uniforms, which linked to the play Mother Courage. They drove us to a forest where we completed an assault course, still with our rucksacks on! In addition to performing in Ljubljana and Maribor, we also travelled to Klagenfurt in Austria for a show. “When I graduate, I would like to work within the industry or go onto study Drama Therapy.”

Kiia Huttunen PSYCHOLOGY BSc (HONS) “I’ve always been fascinated by human behaviour and I decided that no matter what I ended up doing with my life, studying psychology would be beneficial. “I really loved the statistics modules and find it amazing how almost everything can be simplistically expressed in numbers. The lecturers are so enthusiastic about the subject – when they talk about inferential statistics with such passion it’s almost impossible to not enjoy the topic! I have also enjoyed the brain, behaviour and cognition module, even if the concepts are quite complex at times. This made me really value the lecturers here – they are friendly, so it’s not at all scary to talk to them one-to-one, and they are good at explaining things and answering any questions. “I’ve become particularly interested in social psychology and plan to return to Finland and apply to study a research Masters degree in this field.”

Sports Business and Marketing BA (Hons)

Sports Business and Marketing at Winchester keeps a focus on current issues such as the growth and importance of sponsorship, the building of the sports brand, and a critical analysis of the use of social media, underpinned by a strong understanding of business and marketing principles and practice. Programme content This programme comprises four strands. The Sport Marketing strand is central and looks at themes such as the multi-billion pound value of brands and how to build them; the use and growth of social media as part of a marketing implementation; and the continued growth and changing nature of sponsorship. It also builds practical understanding that adds value to the theoretical framework strongly developed in association with Winchester Business School. The Management, Marketing and Events strand draws on expertise from across the Winchester Business School and students tailor their learning by choosing topics across these areas. Each of the three elements named in the strand are fundamental to business and the business of sports. The ability to critically appreciate the wider context surrounding sport is powerfully enhanced as a result. The Sports Studies strand explores the complex interactions of sport within society. Sport and its relationship with the media would be an example of a specific topic within a broader socio-cultural exploration. By scrutinising the many issues impacting sport, students grow to understand the complex relationships and appreciate what sport might become in the future. The Research strand applies both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to various sport and exercise contexts. Students learn how to design a research project and consider the sequences of the research process – from idea and proposal to analysis and dissemination.

Sports Coaching

BSc (Hons)

Sports Coaching at Winchester offers students the opportunity to engage at an academic level with one of the fastest growing sports disciplines and reflect on their own coaching practice in practical and community-based environments. Programme content The course has been designed using the criteria set by SportsCoachUK, with employability strongly in mind, and students are exposed to theory and practice that has a resonance to national coaching frameworks. The course is structured around four key subject areas: Coaching Theory and Practice; Sport and Exercise Science; Research Methods; and Sports Development. Within Coaching Theory and Practice, students gain an understanding of the leading theories of coaching as well as a practical understanding of how coaching might be structured. Links are made to learning and teaching, ethics, coaching and leadership styles, and session planning. The Sport and Exercise Science strand examines the way in which coaching can be improved using physiological principles of training; psychological models of motivation, confidence and team building; as well as biomechanical models of movement. The view is to develop within all students the scientific tools to deliver cutting-edge coaching practices, and we take the view of science in support of practice. This view is further emphasised in the Research Methods area where research is looked at as a way to further develop coaching knowledge, and where particular research – such as performance analysis – may be a key component of coaching practice. Sports Development finally connects coaching practice to its social context. It looks at the environment within which coaching takes place, and considers the various factors that influence how, when and in what way coaching is delivered, facilitated and funded.

Students are exposed to world-leading performance analysis technologies such as DartFish and SportsCode. Facilities The King Alfred Campus boasts state-ofthe-art facilities such as a Sport and Exercise Physiology Laboratory, a Sport and Exercise Biomechanics Laboratory, a custom-built Sports Analysis Suite, University Gym, fitness suite, sports hall, and multi-purpose courts.

BA (Hons)

Sports Studies at Winchester allows all aspects of sport, ranging from recreational sport and exercise to international elite competition, to be studied from a variety of academic perspectives. The programme provides a balanced, multidisciplinary and critical overview of the significance of sport and exercise. Programme content This programme is characterised by the ability to specialise in some of the diverse academic disciplines within sport, while maintaining a core of knowledge and theoretical understanding drawn from sports sociology and research methods. This multi-disciplinary approach to the study of sport exposes students to a range of paradigms, both within and between disciplines and highlights the common ground between them while giving them the opportunity to tailor the programme to their own specific interests. This programme comprises modules that are clustered into four academic strands that run from Year 1 to Year 3. Two of the strands are mandatory (Sport and Society, and Research Methods). Students then have the freedom to complement these with two additional strands that features in the University’s other Sports programmes, for example Sport and Exercise Psychology. The Sport and Society strand aims to develop a critical understanding of sport and exercise as significant elements of culture and society. The links between sport and society are developed by exploring a range of issues and challenges (for example sexism, homophobia, racism and commercialisation) that are issues for both sport and society. By scrutinising the big issues impacting sport, it is possible to appreciate what the world of sport can tell us about the past, the global importance sport has achieved today and what sport might become in the future. The Research Methods strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and apply these to various sport and exercise contexts.

Octavia Ludlam BA (HONS) SPORTS STUDIES “I’ve always been interested in sports; I particularly enjoyed sports studies at A level and wanted to study it in greater depth at university. “I first visited Winchester during an Open Day and loved the campus – it felt like home. I liked the atmosphere, it’s a friendly and close-knit community. “The tutors are all very supportive and they’re well-connected offering many interesting opportunities to expand our knowledge and experience. We met the Saracens RFC and helped with a research project, and we’ve also worked with Sport Hampshire and Isle of Wight. “I’m particularly interested in health and fitness, so would like to pursue this further with some personal training work over the summer. However, my main career goal is to become a primary school teacher as inspiring children to be active and sporty is really important to me.”

Samuel Thompson MED (HONS) PRIMARY EDUCATION WITH RECOMMENDATION FOR QTS “While at secondary school, I really enjoyed work experience at my local infant school. I was overwhelmed by how good I felt helping children to understand new concepts. Seeing a male class teacher in such a role inspired me to pursue this career path. “I’m on the four-year MEd (Hons) pathway and have decided to specialise in early years. The course has kept me up-to-date with changes to the Early Years Foundation Stage and other Government policies, and we’ve heard from head teachers, teachers and other early years practitioners to supplement my understanding of theatrical concepts as well as school/ nursery based issues. I really enjoyed the Educational Theory module which opened my eyes to the ways in which education can be used to help people. “The lecturers on the course encourage us to be the best we can be. It’s this enthusiasm and dedication that makes Winchester a great University for trainee teachers – it’s been the best years of my life.”

The Department also has strong interests in philosophy, textual criticism and the study of religious behaviour and practice in everyday life. The Department of Theology, Religion and Philosophy comprises staff from diverse backgrounds, and welcomes students from all faiths as well as those of no faith.

Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Winchester asks the big questions about humanity, the world, our history and contemporary society. It equips students with the skills and understanding to play a part in shaping where our society is going. Programme content As the backbone of the course, students study the unfolding of Western thought and the way our philosophical, political and economic concepts have developed from Ancient Greece to today. We critically address the central notions that have developed in this tradition, such as the metaphysical doctrines of freedom, idealism and the existence of God; the political ideas of liberalism, democracy and property; and the economic notions of growth, laissez-faire capitalism and Marxism. Students are encouraged to question established orthodoxies and models in facing new and emerging challenges, whether they be economic, environmental or ethical. A wide range of optional modules on philosophy, politics, economics and contemporary national and global society allows students to customise their course to study key topics that interest them.

Tia-Louise Dean BA (HONS) PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION AND ETHICS “I’m from London and I’ve always been interested and exposed to different religions. Personally, I’m a Buddhist and it’s been fascinating to study Buddhism and its origins, influence and progression. “Winchester is a slightly smaller university and it’s a supportive environment to study in. You get to know everyone and the tutors get to know you, and they put time and effort into enriching your studies. “I’m learning biblical Hebrew, at first it was for fun but it’s given me a deeper understanding of Christianity and theology. I’m now interested in learning New Testament Greek. “After graduating I plan to do the PGCE Secondary Religious Education at Winchester. In today’s world you cannot deny or ignore religion and so I think it’s important to educate people about different religions and encourage tolerance. “I’m also keen to continue my study of religion in greater depth and plan to do a Masters degree once I’m settled into my teaching job.”

UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER / SHAPE YOUR FUTURE

Philosophy, Religion and Ethics BA (Hons)

Philosophy, Religion and Ethics at Winchester explores the grand narrative of the philosophical tradition, from the ancient to the modern world. Importantly, the degree also gives students the opportunity to put their philosophy to work in thinking about religion, belief, and the ideas that underpin our history as a species. Programme content Students explore the over-arching narrative of the philosophical tradition through core modules at each level of the degree. From ancient Greece to existentialism and atheism, and from Kant to Derrida, students encounter the thinkers who have shaped the way we see and understand our world. The programme sets these philosophical ideas in conversation with religious traditions, with sacred texts, and with ethical debates through a range of optional modules. Study in Year 1 is foundational and provides the basis for specialised study in Years 2 and 3. In Year 1, students are oriented in the core subject areas of their degree. They undertake year-long modules in theological tradition and religious studies, designed to develop study skills and enhance students’ confidence in critical writing and reading. These sit alongside thorough introductions to university-level philosophy and ethics. In Years 2 and 3, students are able to build a profile of options around their philosophical studies to reflect their own academic interests; these reflect the range of specialisms offered in the Department. Optional modules tend to encourage students to think about the way religious ideas and practices interact with the contemporary world.

Year 2 • What’s Next? • Kant and the Copernican Revolution • Atheism and its Critics • Students may choose from a range of optional modules (for full list, visit www.winchester.ac.uk/V520) Year 3 • Dissertation • Senior Seminar • Phenomenology, Existentialism and Identity • Contemporary Philosophy • Students may choose from a range of optional modules (for full list, visit www.winchester.ac.uk/V520)

Theology, Religion and Ethics BA (Hons)

Theology, Religion and Ethics at Winchester combines an exploration of religious traditions with an examination of theological arguments, ancient texts, and ethical controversies. Students explore the way religious ideas and practices have impacted cultures, as well the way cultures have influenced ideas about religion and belief. Programme content Students explore religion as a lived cultural phenomenon and engage with the textual, intellectual, and ideological frameworks of human belief systems. Examining the way religious texts and practices are expressed and critiqued in contemporary culture, students use their knowledge to think about ethical debates and controversies. The degree seeks to develop skills in close reading, critical argumentation, and cultural literacy. Study in Year 1 is foundational and provides the basis for specialised study in Years 2 and 3. In Year 1, students are oriented in the core subject areas of their degree, undertaking year-long modules in theological tradition and religious studies. These are designed to develop study skills and enhance students’ confidence in critical writing and reading. These sit alongside specialist modules in Christianity, biblical scholarship, ethics and philosophy. In Years 2 and 3, students are able to build a profile of options to develop their own academic interests; these reflect the range of specialisms offered in the Department. Optional modules tend to encourage students to think about the way religious ideas and practices interact with the contemporary world.

Igor Ahmedov BA (HONS) THEOLOGY, RELIGION AND ETHICS “I find it really fascinating how theology has shaped and influenced the world. When I was in the Estonian army, I gave talks in local churches on different aspects of theoretical and practical theology. I really wanted to expand my knowledge of theology, but was also interested in a degree that included the study of other religions – Winchester offered this with the added bonus of philosophy and ethics. “I’ve enjoyed examining Hebrew passages in the Bible and dissecting what they mean. I’m currently learning the language and hope to specialise in biblical Hebrew. “We’ve had a number of field trips to experience other religions, these have included a visit to a mosque, a Buddhist temple and Winchester Cathedral. I particularly enjoyed a visit to Glastonbury that enabled us to explore new age religions and the impact of paganism in the area. “When I graduate I hope to become an academic and plan to do a Masters degree and a PhD in either theology or biblical studies.”
