Spirituality We celebrate our Christian foundation encouraging those living within the Christian faith, whilst also welcoming those who live within other faiths and those who have no faith.

Creativity Permeability, agility and imagination are central to our thinking: we endeavour to act as a crucible for the generation and exchange of knowledge.

The city of Winchester Winchester is one of the most beautiful cathedral cities in the UK. It is located at the centre of southern England, in the county of Hampshire, and is just one hour away from London by train. Winchester is a small but lively historic city. It is renowned for its ancient history, its cathedral and high quality of life.

Going out Winchester has a huge array of awardwinning pubs and bars, which offer a traditional pint or a cosmopolitan cocktail. There is a strong café and restaurant culture in Winchester and the city has attracted some leading chefs and high quality brands such as Raymond Blanc and Hotel Du Vin. The cafés offer a wide selection of indoor and outdoor settings to people-watch over a cappuccino.

™

Winchester is a Purple Flag winner, a national award which recognises cities that are safe and enjoyable places for a night out. Winchester won the award for the second year running in 2011.

The city of Winchester

Shopping Winchester has a bustling atmosphere for shopping with many well-known high street brands blurred in with some unique independent shops and boutiques. Many of the locally owned businesses are nestled on the picturesque cobbled streets that surround Winchester Cathedral. The city also plays host to the Hampshire Farmers’ Market, usually every fortnight. It attracts interesting culinary providers and celebrity chefs, such as James Martin who co-owns a delicatessen in Winchester.

Culture There are also two theatres in the city and a Guildhall, which regularly is the venue for concerts, stand-up comedy and shows. The city also has an unusual cinema inside a converted military chapel, which screens a programme of independent and foreign films in addition to the popular movies on general release.

Undergraduate Prospectus 2013

The city and its surrounding district have inspired literary classics by Jane Austen and John Keats. This has made Winchester the ideal setting for literary events and writers’ festivals, some of which are held at or organised by the University. Winchester also holds the Hat Fair every year, which is a famous street theatre festival, and there is also the annual Winchester Festival.

History The city is famous for being the ancient capital of England as chosen by King Alfred the Great as the seat of power for his kingdom of Wessex. William the Conqueror commissioned the monks of Winchester to compile his notorious Domesday Book, which was housed in the Kings Castle. Now only the Castle’s Great Hall remains and in it is the legendary ‘Round Table of King Arthur’. Winchester is also the resting place of author Jane Austen, who is buried in Winchester Cathedral.

Transport links Winchester has excellent transport links including a direct train service to London Waterloo, which runs every 20 minutes during peak times. The station is also well served by trains running to and from Southampton, Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Weymouth, Brighton, the New Forest and the north of England. The University of Winchester is located close to the M3, which provides easy road access to the M25 and M27. Travelling to and from Heathrow and Gatwick airports is easy by both road and train, and Southampton Airport is located 15 minutes away by train and offers services within the UK, the Channel Islands and mainland Europe. The National Express coach service picks up from Winchester and serves various destinations across the UK. Ferry services from Portsmouth link to various ports in France, Spain and the Netherlands.

Around Winchester The excellent transport links to and from Winchester enable our students to visit the surrounding area with ease and there are lots of interesting places to experience. Winchester is one hour away by train from London Waterloo. Many students choose to go to London for the national art galleries, museums and theatres and to explore the tourist attractions. The city of Southampton is located 20 minutes away by train and that offers further shopping and entertainment opportunities. It provides ferry links to the

Isle of Wight and there are various sailing clubs around the city if you want to head out on the Solent. The Isle of Wight hosts two major music festivals: Bestival and The Isle of Wight Festival. There are also various competitive sailing events throughout the year. Waterfront shopping and more entertainment is available in the naval city of Portsmouth, which is about 30 minutes away from Winchester. The Historic Dockyards offer the opportunity to get aboard the Mary Rose and HMS Victory.

Less than an hour’s drive away are the famous seaside resorts of Bournemouth and Poole, and there is a regular train service between Winchester, Bournemouth and Brighton. There are also tranquil areas to explore such as the New Forest, Stonehenge (see below, top), Salisbury and the South Downs. Winchester is also well located to enjoy Dorset’s Jurassic Coast – England’s first natural World Heritage Site (see below, bottom).

Student Union (SU) The Student Union is based in the awardwinning University Centre. It is at the centre of student life at the University of Winchester. It provides a dedicated range of activities and services to help ensure you get the best student experience. For more details about the University Centre see pages 20-21.

we know what it’s like and we can provide guidance and support.

What advice do you have for students starting here?

Can you tell us more about your role?

Get involved in the Student Union! Whatever you do, it will really enrich your experience of university life.

I am the chief student opinion of the University, representing the views of all 6,000 students. I am a University Governor and I sit on a range of top boards and committees. Representing all those students is a big job and a lot of responsibility but it’s what I’m elected to do and I really enjoy the variety of it.

How can students get involved with the SU?

Student Union President Seb Miell What does the Student Union (SU) do?

The SU is run by students for students so all the officers are elected by the student body. There are two full-time officers, myself and the Vice President, plus nine part-time officers all with different remits. We organise a lot of events and nights out, and we are the biggest and best venue in Winchester but that’s not all we do. We are here to offer advice, anything from an academic query to welfare issues. All the officers are or have been students here so

Undergraduate Prospectus 2013

When students arrive they are automatically a member of the SU and there are lots of ways to get involved – play in a sports team, join a society, volunteer for events to help improve relations with the local community and much more. Anything you do means you contribute – even buying a drink at the bar. We are a non-profit organisation so money is re-invested back into the SU to ensure you have the best student experience possible.

Do you get positive feedback from students about the SU? Yes, we make the effort to sit down and talk through any issues with students, which they appreciate. We stress that our officers are there, wearing the green uniform so they are visible, and students know they can talk to us. We also have a Freshers Crew and the Freshers Fayre is a big event, providing a lot of opportunities to get the word out to say who we are and what we do.

Finally, what is the best thing about Winchester? I always say at Winchester you are an individual, not a number. We are small, but growing and investing in our students with lots of new facilities. The SU has a good relationship with the University and you always know any issues will be listened to – there is a true community feel here.

International Student Profile

“Winchester was the perfect choice for me as I was looking for somewhere small, friendly and recognised for sport, “says Chelsea Jones, a Year 1 student who has lived all over the world, including Australia and Tokyo. “It is also close to London, where I have a lot of friends which is nice when your family aren’t close by. “The international team has been really supportive, helping with visas and anything else I have needed. They organised lots of events and talks, like an orientation week

and a student reception which helped me to feel welcome and was a great way to meet other international students.” Chelsea studies Sports Management and was impressed by the Department of Sports Studies when she visited. “I missed the Open Days, but the International Recruitment team were great and organised a visit to the University, arranging for me to meet the Head of Sports Studies and discuss the

course. Both my parents and I liked their approach and their enthusiasm. “Growing up around sport means that my dream is to one day manage a professional sports team and to travel a lot. For now though I am happy in England and Winchester is a big part of that.”

Study abroad At Winchester we have a number of well-established student exchange programmes that offer you the chance to study abroad for a semester (half the academic year). This is a valuable experience that can enhance your selfreliance and make you more attractive to employers. Some courses such as American Studies, History, Politics and Archaeology provide shorter-length study abroad opportunities via special modules such as field trips. We also have links with a number of charities, and students can take part in overseas visits as part of their studies, for example the University supports a schools project in The Gambia, see page 45 for more information. We also encourage students to consider individual ventures, by taking advantage of our volunteering module during the summer vacation, and it is possible for you to gain academic credit for volunteer work overseas.

Europe The Erasmus programme provides exchange opportunities with universities across the European Union. Winchester has agreements with more than 20 universities, from France to Estonia. If you took part, you would spend a semester in Year 2 studying at a European university. You would take modules that count towards your degree and gain the benefit of studying in a different environment and working with students from a different culture. As an exchange student, you would continue to pay fees to Winchester for the period of study but your living costs are partially subsidised by Erasmus.

United States There are opportunities to study in the USA at one of our four partner institutions: Alfred University in New York, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the University of Southern Maine, and Southern Oregon University. The exchange is in the first semester of Year 2. You would take classes in America that count towards your degree and would gain the benefit of studying in a different environment and working with students from a different culture. As an exchange student, you would continue to pay fees to Winchester rather than American fees and pay for your living expenses, just as you would at Winchester. Other costs such as travel are met by the student.

Japan Students taking English or English Language Studies and students in the School of Media and Film have the

opportunity to study at one of our partner universities, Nagoya University of Foreign Studies, for a semester in Year 2. You would take classes in Japan that count towards your degree and would gain the benefit of studying in a different environment and working with students from a different culture. As an exchange student, you would continue to pay fees to Winchester. You would pay for your living expenses, just as you would at Winchester. Other costs such as travel are met by the student.

South Korea There is the opportunity to take part in a two week Summer School on Korean culture at one of our partner universities, Sejong University in Seoul, South Korea. Places are subsidised and this can take place at the end of Year 1 or 2 of your studies.

Fees and financial help At Winchester helpful financial advice is readily available and we have a wide range of fee waivers and bursaries aimed at putting money back in your pocket while you study. We provide financial support through our fee waivers and bursaries, give recognition to those who demonstrate excellence in music and sports or academic achievement and support those who come from a background in care.

What’s involved? The national system for student finance is designed for anyone, whatever their income or background, to access higher education and enjoy the benefits of better skills and increased earning potential. Essentially, you will have two types of expenses at university – tuition fees and your own living expenses. The good news is you can receive help for both in the form of grants and student loans provided by the government plus bursaries and fee waivers that you can get from us. Exactly how much financial help you get depends on your household income.

Tuition fees Full-time UK domicile and EU undergraduates will be charged £8,500* per year for their tuition fees. However, UK domicile and EU students will be able to take out a Tuition Fees Loan, which will be paid directly to the University by Student Finance England. You then repay the loan through deductions in your salary when you have left university and are earning above a minimum figure

decided by the government (currently over £21,000 per year).

Annual tuition fees* Full-time Bachelor Honours degrees (BA/BSc/DipHE) £8,500 For part-time Bachelor Honours degrees and sandwich years (work placements) please see the website. *Amounts stated are for 2012 entry – please see the University website for 2013 entry to be published later in the year.

Financial help from the government – national student support Students must apply to their national Student Finance Centre for government support – there are individual centres for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Maintenance Grants UK domicile students can apply for a Maintenance Grant. These do not have to be paid back. Students with a household income under £42,600 will be entitled to a full or partial grant to help with living expenses.

Tuition Fee Loan Fees are revised annually and published before the time of entry. For the most up-to-date information please see the University’s website. If you are in any doubt about the cost of fees, you should contact us before confirming your acceptance.

Tuition fees for international students (non-EU) For information about tuition fees for international (non-EU) students please see the University website.

Financial help from us – fee waivers and bursaries We recognise that some students will find it more difficult than others to study at university, so at Winchester we offer a comprehensive range of university support to help you fund your studies with us and you do not have to pay this back. The awards are cumulative so you could be eligible for more than one type.

UK domicile and EU students can apply for a loan of up to £8,500 to cover the costs of tuition fees. It will be paid directly to the University by Student Finance to cover your fees.

Student Loan for Maintenance UK domicile students can apply for a Maintenance Loan to cover the cost of living expenses. You will be eligible for 65 per cent of the loan as it is not means tested and it will be paid directly to you by Student Finance. The remaining 35 per cent of the loan is subject to means testing.

Repayments You do not pay anything until the April after you complete your course and are earning more than £21,000 per year. The rate of repayment is linked to your income. So the more you earn, the more you pay back; the less you earn, the less you pay; and if you stop earning or you do not earn more than £21,000, then you pay back nothing.

Fee waivers (Non-ITT courses)

Students taking non-ITT (Initial Teacher Training) courses who receive a maintenance grant from the government may be entitled to a fee waiver based on their household income. Students with a household income under £25,000 could receive fee waivers totaling £6,750 over the duration of a three year course. Those with a household income between £25,000 and £42,600 could receive £4,000 in fee waivers over the same period.

Bursaries

Students with a household income under £25,000 could be entitled to our bursary. Those on non-ITT courses could receive up to £1,500 in cash over the duration of a three year course. Those on ITT courses could receive £2,000 over the same period with the option to take this as cash, a fee waiver or an accommodation discount.

National Scholarship Programme (Non-ITT courses)

Further fee waivers will be offered to English domicile students from households with income under £25,000 who can demonstrate academic achievement. The top 61 academic achievers, based on entry grades, could be entitled to £6,000 over the duration of a three year course. Awards in the second and third year are based on continued academic achievement.

Academic Achievement Award (Non-ITT courses)

Each eligible student receives £2,000 per year (subject to continued academic achievement each year), which they can choose to take as either cash or a fee waiver.

For a full list of equivalent combinations (including non-A level routes) please see our website.

Excellence Award

These awards are worth up to £4,000 over the duration of your course. They are awarded to students who demonstrate excellence in music and sport. Please see our website for more information about how and when to apply.

King Alfred Scholarship

Students under the age of 25 who have been ‘looked after’ in care for at least 13 weeks since the age of 14 and who left care (as defined by the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000) are entitled to £1,750 per year.

Melissa duncan Melissa Duncan from Wokingham near Reading was taken into care at the age of 13 and decided early on that she wanted to study. “I wanted to prove that I could get to university and get a degree – that has always been one of my main goals. Being in care influenced my decision to study social work and Winchester not only offered the course but also a bursary for care leavers which just showed how much they recognised the

needs and difficulties for care leavers getting into education. “I felt at home here straightaway. I was put in touch with a Student Adviser when I first came here and she has been amazing. You always feel like there is someone here to talk to especially when things get tough and I have felt supported every step of the way. “I’m in Year 2 of my Social Work degree and it’s great. It has been an experience going

from a young person in care to learning to be a professional on the other side of the system. My lecturers are so inspiring and I have always been happy to talk about my personal experiences in class, helping not only me but my peers to learn. “Winchester has set me up well for the future, getting my degree is my top priority and I have been helped so much, personally, academically and financially.”

Additional information for EU and international students

Students with an equivalent or higher qualification

EU students (students from European countries other than the UK) pay the same tuition fees as UK students. They are eligible for a Tuition Fees Loan but not a Student Loan for Maintenance, Supplementary Grant, Adult Dependentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grant or government Access to Learning Funds.

In 2011, the government removed funding for students wishing to study for a qualification who already hold another qualification which is at equivalent or higher level. As a result, students in this position are no longer eligible for loans and grants from the government. There are certain exceptions to this rule which are listed on our website.

International students (non-EU) pay a level of fees reflecting the full cost of their education. Some scholarships are available to help fund studies and pay for living costs. See page 27 for more information.

Lots of helpful advice on a range of issues is available from us. Student Advisers are available on a dropin and appointment basis to see students on any personal, financial or academically related matter. Budgeting advice is also available for students who encounter difficulties managing their finances and funding their studies. We also have a counselling service that offers you a place to talk to someone outside your circle of friends and family in confidence.

Study options

At the University of Winchester, we design our programmes very carefully to ensure they meet your needs. Most students study for a Single Honours or Combined Honours degree but some aim to obtain other undergraduate awards. See page 49 for more details about the undergraduate awards available.

Single Honours Single Honours degree programmes tend to focus on one subject. They generally encompass a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of compulsory modules that are added to by a range

Undergraduate Prospectus 2013

of optional modules which enable you to tailor your degree towards your own interests.

Combined Honours Combined Honours programmes enable you to study two subjects jointly (50% /50%) and it is normally possible to transfer to a Single Honours programme upon completion of Level 4, should you wish.

Programme structure and credit level Programmes of study at the University of Winchester fit within the national credit

framework established by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). Therefore Year 1 of a standard undergraduate programme provides a recognised higher education qualification which can be identified as at Level 4, Year 2 at Level 5, and Year 3 at Level 6 (see chart on page 49 for more details). For part-time students, the same Levels apply, but the programme will be of a different duration, for instance Year 1 of a standard undergraduate programme may take two years to achieve. Year 1 tends to be an introduction to your chosen subject/s. Years 2 and 3

entail greater specialisation. Learning and teaching takes place in lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. A range of assessment methods are used including examinations, essay writing, work placements and presentations.

Focus on American Exchange The American Exchange is a University-wide programme, but it is especially useful for American Studies students because you get the chance to live in America and study on an American campus for an entire semester. Winchester has American Exchange programmes with four American universities – Alfred University in upper New York State, the University of Southern Maine, in Portland Maine, the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and Southern Oregon University in Ashland Oregon. While at the American university, you take classes with American students and you are thoroughly integrated into the campus community. Students often make good friends who they then stay in touch with and visit again and again. All the universities are a great way to study America ‘24/7’ and your experiences outside the classroom are just as valuable for the improvement of your understanding of the United States. Everyone thinks they know America because we see it in the movies and on TV and as an American Studies student you would have studied it in the classroom, but the experience of actually living there will bring it alive.

Focus on Field Trip module American Studies has been running a Field Trip module to the United States for over 10 years. Each year during the Easter vacation around a dozen Year 2 American Studies students visit America for two weeks in order to experience the country up close and personal. Learning is better if students get the chance to see, taste, smell, hike, and even eat America. Some American Studies students do this via our Exchange programme, but those who do not wish to go for a full semester or want to experience America twice during their studies do the Field Trip module.

surprise students. Students visit sites of historic interest and National Parks like the Grand Canyon, where wilderness exists in a pristine state that it is almost impossible to find in the UK, and visit Native American reservations like Monument Valley and discover a way of life that is very different from that normally thought of as American. There are assignments to do and marks to be earned but, above all, students study by doing. For instance, the hike down Marble Canyon to the Colorado River (above right) is as valuable for understanding America as anything that you might read in a book or see on a screen.

Time is spent in the city and on the road – so much of America is lived on the road, and the distances always

The programme seeks to move students progressively through a structured series of writing assignments and exercises, working on all genres of writing. It aims to develop the student’s own work by giving them positive critical encouragement and direction. 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. Students are helped to locate their own writing within various contexts, including those of current academic debates.

Winchester offered me that opportunity and I fell in love with it as soon as I came here,” says the Year 3 Media Production student from Wales.

BA Media Production

“I enjoy the variety the course offers me – I never thought of myself as a technical person, yet I now know how to design a website, frame shots and use specialist equipment. The course has allowed me to explore my passion for writing screenplays and I am producing a short drama film for my Final Year Project. We are encouraged to experiment, finding the style that is right for us as individuals and developing a creative voice.

“My dream would eventually be to set up an independent production company – perhaps with a close group from this course. It’s something that takes time and financial backing, so I will work in industry and write and submit films in my spare time. It will be hard work but I feel confident that my time at Winchester has prepared me well for launching my own career.”

Study in these years consists of a few mandatory modules and a much larger range of optional modules which are intended to appeal to individual interests and career plans. During these two years, students are encouraged to engage fully with social, political and cultural perspectives. During Year 3 in particular, students build on this knowledge and begin critically deploying it in relation to ‘real-world’ situations.

emily fisher Emily Fisher from Cambridge is in Year 2, studying Modern Liberal Arts. Having started a Fine Arts degree in London, she decided to take an alternative path. “I researched lots of courses and Modern Liberal Arts caught my eye – it appealed to me as you examined a range of subject areas including art. I also liked Winchester; the University was friendly and the city seemed similar to Cambridge with its architecture and history.

BA Modern Liberal Arts

“The course allows you to explore topics you can easily relate to – one of our assignments examined our personal musical tastes in the context of philosophers’ views on music. I love listening to and playing music so it was really interesting to see how this fell within the boundaries of what they considered acceptable. “My lecturers really bring the course to life – they are incredibly passionate about the subject, inspiring you to look at ideas

and concepts in a fresh way. Something you may not have originally thought interesting suddenly has a new eye-opening perspective. “In the future I could see myself using my experience at Winchester and combining it with my love of art, perhaps working in a gallery or museum. Modern Liberal Arts gives you a great grounding and has increased my confidence in so many areas that I feel well prepared for whatever career path I choose.”

This allows us to recognise the range of previous experience and learning styles of students entering the course. The breadth of the programme covering the core curriculum subjects, full range of foundation subjects and specialist subject study, ensures that the programme is demanding but thorough and meets the needs of primary schools. The four year route is also available to students who wish to enhance and enrich their professional practice and achieve QTS in Year 4. The fourth year is also an opportunity to gain up to 120 masters credits, in an integrated masters model, which allows immediate progression to the award of MEd before taking up employment in a first teaching post.

• Identity • Perspectives • Relationships The three inter-related themes provide a unifying structure which links the various University-based strands with each other and with practical work placements and school-based work. Together they offer the potential of a professional educational programme which combines the development of effective and skilled practice with the analytical awareness of self and culture which is central to the development of the graduate practitioner. Students are prepared to teach primary school children. They follow a core programme that includes both theoretical and practical issues relating to teaching in primary schools. • Professional Studies encourages students to consider theoretical underpinnings of education and how they impact on children’s learning and teachers’ practice.

Carbon analysis has provided a date range of AD 960-1030 for a series of burials on the site. A number of artefacts, pits and postholes were uncovered that also relate to this phase, and evidence of an earlier building, now thought to be an Anglo-Saxon chapel.

Archaeology students are currently involved in research at the site and the Department of Archaeology hosts open days for the general public to visit the site remains and find out more about the archaeological discoveries.

richard good “The best thing about Archaeology is the fact that you are finding the physical remains of the past,” says Richard Good, a Year 3 student from Odiham, near Basingstoke. “You can hold something and know that it was actually used – it brings the subject area to life.” “I chose Winchester because I love the city and the atmosphere of the University but I also knew the course has an excellent reputation in the area.

BA Archaeology

“I really enjoy the summer digs and I have been lucky to be part of one of the University’s most exciting projects, the leper hospital on the outskirts of Winchester. I have been finding and assessing pottery from the site, to discover how the lepers lived. The site hasn’t been looked at before so it’s valuable to be learning and at the same time contributing to a project that’s important to archaeology as a whole. The experience is helped by our lecturers who are really

approachable and knowledgeable – they do a lot of research so it’s helpful to be learning from the people doing it first-hand. “Archaeology is about detective work, piecing things together and using observation, building in lots of scientific elements. I know whatever happens in the future, I have a practical degree that’s recognised by employers.”

A selection of our expertise Dr Mark Allen

Professor Michael Hicks

Mark is a Senior Lecturer in Modern History. His research concentrates on nineteenthcentury British social and economic history, particularly the development and use of censuses. He is a historian of the City of Winchester and co-director of The Winchester Project, which aims to trace the property history of Winchester tenements from 1550 to the present day.

Michael is Head of Department and a renowned historian of late medieval England, especially the nobility, Richard III and the War of the Roses. He has written biographies of all of the Yorkist Kings, and also has academic interests in the late medieval English church, especially the chantries, and English regional and local history.

Dr Neil Murphy Neil is a Lecturer in Early Modern European History. His research is principally focused on the history of France during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the history of England and the Low Countries during this period. Neil’s main areas of study explore the role of ritual and ceremony in urban life and on relations between the crown and elite urban groups.

Dr Chris Aldous Chris is a Principal Lecturer in Modern Japanese History. His research focuses on postwar US-Japanese relations, particularly the occupations of Japan (19451952) and Okinawa (1945-1972) with regard to social movements, public health and environmental issues. Chris’ teaching reflects these interests, exploring state and society during Japan’s modernisation and the origins and aftermath of the AsiaPacific War.

Focus on History research Professor Michael Hicks, Head of the Department of History, has been awarded £0.5 million for the research project ‘Mapping the Medieval Countryside: The Fifteenth-Century Inquisitions Post Mortem’. Inquisitions post mortems (IPMs) were records created at the death of landholders between 1236 and 1642. IPMs recorded, often in great detail, what landholders held at their death, their family circumstances, wealth and personnel of county government. They are a principal source for landholding and the rural economy everywhere in England. “The project involves digitising 29 enormous calendars published between 1898 and 2011 by the Public Record Office/Cambridge University, latterly with AHRC funding,” explains Professor Hicks. “These will be placed as open-access on British History Online. Additionally the more fully calendared volumes from 1399 to 1447 will be enhanced and converted into a fully interactive open-access web-mounted GISlinked database. This will make these resources much more usable by historians, archaeologists, geographers and demographers, as well as by family and local historians.”

Social Psychology BSc (Hons)

Year 1 examines approaches within psychology – personality, social, developmental, cognitive and biological – illustrating how they lead to distinct perspectives on key research questions, and to the methods psychologists use to answer these questions. In Year 2, students continue their study of different research methods, exercising greater independence in their practical work. Under the guidance of their supervisor, they develop a research proposal focusing on an aspect of social psychology. In Year 3, students choose which topics to study in greater depth, and their practical work culminates in an extended research project in their chosen area of social psychology.

Theology and Religious Studies BA (Hons) Fact File

Theology and Religious Studies at Winchester explores the study of religions in their contemporary as well as historical forms. The emphasis is always upon religion as something that is lived and which impacts upon cultures as well as something which is impacted upon by cultural texts and practices.

Study in Year 1 is foundational and provides the basis of specialised study in Years 2 and 3. Students are introduced to contemporary issues in the study of religion and theology. In Years 2 and 3, students take a core module before choosing from a range of optional modules in order to tailor study to their particular interests.

Programme content

Modules:

Students explore religion as a living, cultural phenomenon which impacts profoundly not only upon the lives of individual believers but also on society and world events. The emphasis is on contemporary practice of religion, and students spend time meeting members of various faith communities and studying the expression and critique of faith in such media as texts, art and film. The course aims to provide an insight into religion while also giving students skills and knowledge that can be used to relate to religion beyond textbooks and study, whether in work or intercultural encounters.

Tristan Norris “Initially I had considered primary teaching but decided I wanted to be more flexible – as soon as I heard the Theology and Religious Studies course outline, I knew it was what I wanted to do,” says Tristan Norris, a Year 3 student. “I like the fact that we cover a range of subjects, experiencing them through different mediums – for example we have explored performances of religious rituals and visited various places of worship including churches, mosques and synagogues.

BA Theology and Religious Studies

“The Final Year Project allows you to concentrate on a topic you are passionate about. Mine is already underway, focusing on Judaism in Holocaust films and museum exhibitions. It is a subject that can be sad at times, but it’s incredibly interesting and I have done a lot of background research over the summer. “My lecturers are fantastic. They are so enthusiastic and all specialise so we know we are being taught by the best scholars around.

We get some great opportunities, like a visit to Chennai to explore religions in the South of India – this is with a lecturer who has lived and worked there and is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, which enhances the experience even more. “I think that is one of the best things about Winchester – you don’t just learn through reading books, you get the chance to get there and experience things from a range of perspectives.”
