Winchester and around Just one hour away from London, the quintessential English city of Winchester combines the best of city life with medieval history and beautiful countryside.
World-famous Cathedral Winchester Cathedral has been a place of worship for over 900 years. It has the longest medieval nave in Europe, and is the resting place for Jane Austen, Izaak Walton and the early English Kings. The Winchester Bible, incredibly written by a single scribe, is on view in the library and Antony Gormley’s evocative sculpture, Sound II, is hidden away in the Cathedral crypt.
Arts and culture Winchester and its surrounding district have inspired literary classics by Jane Austen and John Keats. This has made the city the ideal setting for literary events, writers’ festivals and an array of cultural events. Among the range of arts venues in the city is the Theatre Royal Winchester, which offers a varied programme all year round, and the Screen Cinema that offers mainstream releases alongside independent and foreign language films.
Shopping Winchester offers an array of unique independent shops and boutiques as well as traditional and nationally-known stores. The high street area offers a bustling atmosphere with street performers and markets, while other more unusual shops are nestled along the cobbled streets that surround the Cathedral and tucked away along intriguing backstreets.

England’s ancient capital ™
Winchester is steeped in history and packed with historic buildings and monuments. Winchester was 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 write his notorious Domesday Book, which was housed in the King’s Castle. Now only the Castle’s Great Hall remains and in it is the legendary Round Table of King Arthur, which has been exhibited there for over 700 years.
Winchester has a Purple Flag, an international award which recognises cities that are safe and enjoyable places for a night out. Winchester has held the award since 2010.
Second safest university Also, the Complete University Guide 2014 identified the University of Winchester as the second safest university for student-relevant crime in England and Wales.
Eating and drinking out There is a strong café and restaurant culture in Winchester, celebrity chefs Rick Stein, Raymond Blanc and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall all have restaurants in the city. There is also an array of award-winning bars and pubs, which offer a traditional pint or a mojito cocktail.

Dynamic research At Winchester our undergraduate teaching is underpinned by innovative research at national, international and world-leading levels of excellence. In the most recent national assessment of research quality (REF 2014), the University had a strong submission covering two-thirds of all possible subject areas. 82 per cent of the University’s submitted research was considered internationally recognised. Some research achieved the highest grade possible (4*) and a rating of “quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour”.
Research Web: www.winchester.ac.uk/research
As a values-driven institution the University is committed to the production of high-quality research that has regional, national and international impact. REF 2014 confirmed this as much of the University’s research was shown to have “very considerable impacts” in terms of its “reach and significance”.
The Search for Alfred the Great The University of Winchester is working in partnership with Hyde900, a cultural community group, to find the final resting place of King Alfred the Great. In January 2014 archaeologists from the University confirmed they had discovered part of a pelvic bone, most likely to be from Alfred the Great or his eldest son, Edward the Elder. This significant find was announced to the world’s media at a crowded press conference and by a BBC Two documentary team that exclusively filmed the project.

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)/EEA 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. At the time of going to print we are in the process of confirming our tuition fees for 2016. The costs for 2015 entry for a BA/BSc/LLB (Hons) degree: • £9,000 per year (full-time) • £1,125 per 15 credit module (part-time) Our 2016 tuition fees will be published on our website as soon as details are confirmed.
Tuition fee loans Remember you do not have to pay fees up front. Subject to eligibility, tuition fees are paid by a government loan, which you only begin to repay once you have graduated and are earning over £21,000. 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’ll repay £30 per month (based on 2015 entry figures).
Maintenance loans and grants for living costs The government provides extra support for full-time UK students to help with living expenses and provide additional support during your studies. The support available for 2016 entry is yet to be confirmed by the government. However for 2015 entry it was as follows:
Maintenance loan All eligible students are entitled to a maintenance loan of at least £3,731 (if living away from home). The maximum amount available for students starting in 2015 is as follows: • £5,740 if you live away from home • £4,565 if you live at home The amount of loan available is dependent on household income. As with the tuition fee loan, you only start to repay the maintenance loan after you have graduated and you are earning at least £21,000.
Maintenance grant Students with a household income under £42,620 (2015 figure) are eligible to apply for a full or partial non-repayable grant to help with living costs. The amount of grant available is dependent on household income.
Part-time students The part-time funding package is yet to be announced for 2016. However, in 2015 all eligible part-time undergraduates who study for at least 25 per cent of the full-time equivalent course will be able to apply for a loan to cover the costs of their tuition, which means you no longer have to pay up front. Part-time students are not eligible for a maintenance loan or maintenance grant.

Fiona Benton Young carer “I help to care for my brother, so I go home at the weekends and in the week when my mum needs a break. “My lecturers are aware that I am a carer and are really supportive – they have an open door policy and if I need help I know they are there. You’re not just a face in the crowd, everyone seems to genuinely want to help you achieve your potential, and that’s what I love about Winchester. “I am a Higher Education Ambassador which involves visiting groups of young carers to encourage them to consider going to university. I try to reassure those with concerns, about how they might cope with studying and their other responsibilities, by sharing my experience so they can see it is possible. “I’m currently studying Criminology, and want to go on to do a PGCE with the aim to teach in the future.” UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016 / WWW.WINCHESTER.AC.UK

At the University of Winchester there are a number of well-established student exchange programmes offering students the chance to study abroad for a semester. The University encourages those students who wish to participate to make the most of this fantastic opportunity. International exchange and study abroad opportunities offer multiple benefits: • Enhance your career prospects/employability – allows you to demonstrate your extensive skill-set and further adds value to your CV, making you more attractive to employers • Experience a different academic environment and gain a different perspective • Immerse yourself in another culture and, depending on the destination, learn a new language • Advance your personal development – students may increase their confidence, independence, self-reliance and adaptability • Build global contacts/networks • Have fun and experience an adventure to remember for life
Asia – There are opportunities to study abroad for a semester in Japan (Nagoya University of Foreign Studies, Seinan Gakuin University or Seinan Jo Gakuin University); in South Korea (SungKongHoe University); or in India (Pearl Academy, New Delhi).
Full exchange programmes involve students spending a semester in Year 2 studying abroad, taking modules that count towards their degree. All exchange students continue to pay their fees to the University of Winchester for the period of study. Students need to meet living costs (such as travel and housing) but these costs may be partially subsidised (Europe Erasmus programme only) and some funding support is available via bursaries (USA and Japan).
Europe – The EU’s Erasmus programme provides exchange opportunities with universities across the European Union. Winchester has agreements with more than 20 universities, from France to Estonia.
Shorter study abroad opportunities Some courses provide short study abroad opportunities via special modules. The University has 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. The University also encourages students to consider individual ventures, for example internships or taking advantage of the volunteering module during the summer vacation.
United States – We have partnerships with 10 American universities and there are opportunities for students from Winchester to spend a semester studying in the United States at locations ranging from the University of Southern Maine on the East Coast to Southern Oregon University in the West.

Netta Chalermpalanupap International student “I am originally from Thailand, but was studying in America before I came to the UK. A friend recommended Winchester to me, as they had studied here as part of an international exchange, and I heard that it had a really good education course. The community is more diverse than I expected which is great. “During the application process I was assigned an international advisor at Winchester – the whole team were really helpful. I emailed them a lot about my visa and they were great at reassuring me. “I have regular one-to-one meetings with my tutors, so I can raise any issues with them. It took me a while to get used to a different grading system when I arrived in the UK so these meetings were important. There are also study skills workshops you can go to, which offer help with things like essay writing. “Through my course I can do a volunteering module and there’s the opportunity to undertake work experience. I’ve also been able to take part in the wider University community by playing volleyball, swimming and socialising with the student International Society. This is really helpful if anyone is feeling homesick!”
Support The International Student Officer and the rest of the Student Services team are available to help with non-academic issues. Students receive support on issues such as welfare, working in the UK, applying for a visa, financial and health matters, counselling, careers and study skills programmes.

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
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. 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.
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.

Amy Roberts BA (Hons) Sociology “Humanities subjects challenge you to think broadly and there isn’t always one absolute answer – this is why I wanted to continue studying Sociology after college. “The lecturers are fantastic – they are very knowledgeable and try to personalise your learning. There is a lot of academic theory but there is always the opportunity to apply this in different ways, from creating posters to debates in class or trips away to enhance our understanding of a certain area. “I like the fact that we examine current issues through the modules, particularly in Gender and Sexuality. It has fed into my dissertation, which looks at the ‘nuclear’ family and whether gender roles cause unequal power relations. “I would like to work in a peoplefocused role so I have been looking into a number of HR graduate schemes. The course has definitely helped as it has given me a wider perspective on the main issues in our society.”

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. It is well known for its outstanding medieval history, architecture and institutions, including Winchester Cathedral, and close proximity to regional monuments such as Stonehenge. Students take part in excavations at the St Mary Magdalen site, on the outskirts of Winchester. This is believed to be Britain’s earliest leper hospital. Archaeology at Winchester is ranked in the top 15 universities in England for overall satisfaction by full-time undergraduate students in the National Student Survey 2014.
The Search for Alfred the Great In January 2014, archaeologists from the University confirmed they had discovered part of a pelvic bone, most likely to be from King Alfred the Great or his son, King Edward the Elder. The pelvis was found at the site of Hyde Abbey’s High Altar in Winchester; radiocarbon dating showed it was from AD 895-1017 and osteological analysis found it belonged to a man between 26 and 45+ at death. The University of Winchester is now working with its partners to continue the quest to find further remains of Alfred and the Wessex royal family at Hyde Abbey.

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. In Year 3, students select a limited number of topics at a more concentrated and advanced level and typically study through extensive use of primary source material, applying all they have mastered in the dissertation.

Tim Sperring BSc (Hons) Archaeology “I came to Winchester with the intention of getting a degree in a subject I was interested in before going into teaching. However, I love the course so much I now want to pursue a career in archaeology. “Winchester Archaeology Department is like a big family – the support you get is great. The lecturers are all approachable and always let you know about possible work experience opportunities at museums and on digs. They are currently engaged in various research projects which influences their teaching in a really positive way. “A highlight of the course is being involved in the St Mary Magdalen leper hospital excavation in the city. It has given me the chance to put what I’ve learnt on the course into practice, both in the field and back in the Finds Room on campus. “To further enhance our learning experience we’ve also been on numerous field trips, heard talks by PhD students and met archivists from the Hampshire Records Office to explain how we can use their resources.”

Linda Bruggemann BA (Hons) Event Management “I love the variety offered by this course – it’s beneficial that there’s not a narrow focus on just one area. It covers sporting, corporate, hospitality and cultural events, and a broad range of modules such as marketing and business communication. “My favourite assignment so far was pitching to a ‘fake’ bride, as though I’d be planning the wedding. Other highlights have been visiting Twickenham Rugby Stadium and the Showman Show. These trips have given me a great insight into how events are run, building upon the theory we learn in lectures. “Thanks to the University’s close links with industry contacts I’ve had work experience with Isabella Weddings; Lainston House Hotel; and a local village show. In addition to building our CV, these opportunities allow us to apply our skills and reflect on our development as event managers. “Next year I’ll be taking part in Eventice – an industry competition for students studying event management. It’s going to be a great test of my skills and will help me make contacts in the industry.”

I am now more critically engaged in education policy and practice. “I’m in the Race and Ethnic Diversity (RED) group and was in the Fair and Equal Representation Group last year. “I found the University’s Careers Service really helpful from writing CVs, applying for postgraduate study and looking at potential opportunities across teaching and social services. I plan to do a PGCE next because I believe that if you want to influence policy in the classroom you should have experience in the classroom. I then want to do a Masters and go into politics.”

Hannah Penton BA (Hons) American Studies “The course explores America through multiple perspectives and topics – such as demography, literature, sociology and history. It’s really adaptable so I’ve been able to tailor it to suit my interests. “One of the best things about the course so far was the field trip to America. We flew into Las Vegas to look at consumerist America, comparing it to natural America in rural Arizona. “I also had the opportunity to go on the American Exchange in my second year for a semester. I had the choice of going to one of five universities and chose the University of Wisconsin. It was really interesting to see education from a non-European perspective. “As well as studying here, I work part-time in the Student Union, allowing me to earn money while meeting lots of new people.”

Creative Writing
BA (Hons)
Creative Writing at Winchester is a practice-based discipline with workshops designed to encourage students to evolve as writers in new and individual ways. It approaches writing in relation to wider literary and cultural contexts, as the development of sensitive and sophisticated reading skills significantly enhances the skills of an evolving writer. 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. The programme 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 look at 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, looking at publishing, producing, community audiences, writing and teaching, .

Sam Garrett BA (Hons) Creative Writing “Through the University of Winchester Writers’ Festival, and links with the Hampshire Writers’ Society, I’ve met many authors, publishers and agents. The first author I saw was Hanna Jameson who published her first crime thriller novel at the age of 22. It was great to see someone who had achieved success at such a young age and has given me great motivation. “During the Creative Employment module I did work experience with the Golden Egg Academy, which works closely with publishers and agents mentoring aspiring children’s writers. I learnt useful editing tips and tricks and it helped enhance my understanding of the distinction and importance of an analytical and creative mind, and how they both come into play when editing and writing. “I run the University of Winchester Writers’ Society – we get together for workshops about plots, characters, fiction, non-fiction and poetry. This helps our development and it’s given me a lot of confidence. “I’ve had so many great opportunities to develop myself as a writer at Winchester and by the end of the degree I’ll have built a strong portfolio of work to show agents.”

English Language Studies BA (Hons)
English Language Studies 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
In Year 1, students take a series of modules designed to develop their skills in the analysis of language and to introduce them to the most significant approaches to the linguistic study of English. Guidance is given about reading and writing skills, library use and research. After providing the students with a foundation in skills and knowledge relevant for the study of English language, Year 2 offers introductions to more specific schools of linguistic research, such as sociolinguistics or periods of historical linguistics. The modules encourage and support independent study and combine a theoretical background with applicability. Year 3 is designed to allow greater specialisation drawing upon staff research interests. The specialised modules build on previous knowledge and allow the students to further explore specific branches of linguistic study. Study at this level continues to encourage the student on a path to confident and independent conduct of projects in research and application.

Classical Studies
BA (Hons)/MClass (Hons)
Classical Studies 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 that melds History, Archaeology, Art, Drama, Literature and Philosophy. Programme content
Students may wish to pursue the three-year BA (Hons) Classical Studies pathway or the four-year MClass (Hons) Classical Studies pathway. Study begins by establishing a framework of Classical history, both chronologically and geographically. It introduces 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). It 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 in film. Civilisation Studies explore one sub-period (for example, Fifth Century Athens) in the round, 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. It is the Comparative Studies that particularly explore the Classical legacy in art and literature in subsequent centuries.

I’ve been able to apply my knowledge and experience as I volunteer at the CLEAR Project in Southampton, which seeks to improve the quality of life of refugees and asylum seekers by providing free advice and supporting people to access local services. “Highlights of the course so far have been visiting Bethlem Royal Hospital psychiatric hospital in London and listening to guest speakers, such as specialist dementia nurse Jeni Bell from the University Hospital Southampton. “I also enjoyed taking part in the University’s Frontrunner leadership course, which was really beneficial as I am interested in pursuing a management career in adult social care. I would love to stay at the University to do the National Skills Academy Graduate Management Training Scheme Placement.”

Law affects all aspects of life and society and is the mechanism for change employed by governments across the globe. From the protection of life and liberty, through corporate law to international relations, the law is centre stage. In Year 1 on the Combined Honours programme, students devote equal time to the study of each chosen subject. After Year 1, students can transfer to the LLB Law Single Honours programme or continue on the Combined Honours BA Law programme. The core subjects required by the Law Society and Bar Council for those seeking to become barristers or solicitors are covered by students who transfer to the Single Honours programme. Students who take Law as a Combined Honours programme graduate with a BA and will not therefore have covered all of the core subjects. Although the BA is not a Qualifying Law Degree, BA students can apply to the professional bodies for part exemption from the academic stage of training depending on which core modules have been taken.
These skills are invaluable as teaching techniques to help develop successful law graduates. The emphasis on skills-based learning is a core component of the programme and forms a key element in the assessment pattern. Students are assessed through traditional examination methods to a minimal extent and give equal and appropriate emphasis to skills-based assessments.
Modules
• Obligations I Contract and Restitution • Obligations II Tort • Public Law, including Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Human Rights • Criminal Law • Legal Systems and Skills including the Law of the European Union • Dissertation
Careers
Many law graduates choose careers other than practising as a barrister or solicitor. The Combined Honours degree is an excellent foundation for a very wide range of careers in the public, voluntary and commercial sectors.
Throughout the programme, students have the opportunity to develop vital skills such as legal research, negotiation and mooting. Mooting (presenting a legal argument) in particular brings law alive and enables students to research a case and construct an argument to defeat an opponent.

Laura Hutber LLB (Hons) Law “Winchester was perfect for me as I prefer a smaller study environment. My brother also came through the Law course here, so I had the opportunity to visit the campus and meet the Head of Law before I started. “The Medical Law module has been my favourite so far. I have enjoyed delving deeper into the more controversial aspects of law and considering the ethical issues they raise. It has been very relevant to me as I hope to practice within criminal or mental health law in the future. “There have been numerous ways to gain relevant experience and make useful contacts throughout my time at Winchester. This has ranged from observing trials at Winchester Crown Court to volunteering at the local Nightshelter and being part of a vulnerable offender project in Southampton. “I have had so many opportunities here – including chairing the Mooting Society and participating in a national competition. The structure and support here has been amazing, and it has prepared me well for my future career.”

Film Production
BA (Hons)
Film Production at Winchester is designed to extend knowledge and understanding of the creative and practical applications and dimensions of film and cinema. Students acquire skills in aesthetic and technological processes including directing, producing, screenwriting, editing, cinematography, lighting and sound. Programme content
The programme offers a practical and aesthetic perspective on the film industry and cinema techniques.

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.
BA (Hons) Film Production
Study places aesthetic, practical skills and knowledge within the wider filmmaking process in order to understand their role in creating meaning in film products through the combination of various skills, techniques and technologies.

Drama
BA (Hons)
Drama at Winchester is an exciting and innovative programme that studies theory, performance and production skills – it offers an equal balance between theory and practice. Programme content
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. 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. Throughout the programme, students continually develop their critical thinking to inform theatre-making skills. There is an emphasis on text-based approaches to staging and devising theatre, along with approaches to applied and community drama. Each approach is explored in relation to various theories including theatre histories, social and cultural perspectives, major movements and theatre practitioners. 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. Students may also elect to take a module from one of the other programmes in the Department to broaden their skills.
In Year 3, students emerge as independent learners. The Group Project allows students to create small companies to make a major performance or develop an applied/ Theatre in Education project. Students also elect a specialist option focused on staff research interests.

Rea Lillywhite BA (Hons) Street Arts: Performance and Production “I was attracted to this unique course as it offers an exciting programme with lots of opportunities to perform and gain experience in the UK and abroad. “I’ve recently performed on campus with professional street arts company Fuseperformance as part of The Fire Garden – an extravagant procession featuring fire skills and aerial stunts. I’ve also performed at the Winchester Hat Fair, Larmer Tree Festival in Dorset and Salisbury Arts Centre. “A highlight of the course so far was working with Periplum, a visual theatre company, to put on a performance in Portsmouth. It was one of my first experiences of an outdoor performance and it taught me how a large company works to produce an act on this scale. “Later this year I get the chance to travel abroad, which I’m really looking forward to. Last year, some students went to Turkey where they worked with a street arts company to create costumes out of recycled materials. “Outside of the course I volunteer with a disabled dance company, Blue Apple Theatre, twice a week. We work with adults with Down’s Syndrome and severe Autism. I aim to study for a PGCE next as I hope to start up dance classes for disabled people in Bournemouth.”

Gabrielle Barnes BA (Hons) Vocal and Choral Studies “This course tackles the voice from many different angles – it looks at how the voice works both physically and socially, as well as vocal performances. “I love being a part of the Foundation Music community and am involved in several choirs: Sounds of New Gospel (SONG), The King Alfred Singers, and the smaller King Alfred Consort. The choirs and ensembles here are open to everyone and you don’t need to audition, which makes Winchester great for students who are trying to find their voice. “During my time at Winchester I’ve worked as a Student Academic Representative, Student Fellow and Student Revalidator. This year I am also the Mature and Part-time Student Union Officer. The University encourages students to have a voice for change, improvement and ideas – I’ve relished being able to leave my mark and it’s helped me grow in confidence. “For those unsure of a career in singing, the modules opened my mind to careers such as directing, teaching or speech and language therapy.”

Keir Simmons BSc (Hons) Psychology “At an Open Day the lecturer gave a fantastic example lecture about change blindness, and that cemented that this was the course for me. “I really enjoy the practical elements of the course, particularly being able to design and run my own experiment for my dissertation. I am looking at how the complexity of a task affects the likelihood of someone getting an ‘earworm’ – a song stuck in their head. “Winchester is a supportive place to study, so don’t be deterred by the statistics element – you attend small group workshops so you apply what you’ve learnt straight away and the lecturers are on hand to help you. “There are lots of extracurricular activities to get more involved in the subject, for example there is a Psychology Seminar Series which organises for guest speakers to visit fortnightly during term time, and a Psychology Society of which I am Vice-Chair – it’s a great way to meet people. “After this I hope to progress onto the MSc Forensic Psychology course offered here.”

Sport, Business and Marketing* BA (Hons)
Sport, Business and Marketing at Winchester seeks to build on contemporary theory to develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the twenty-first century sports industry. It explores contemporary 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. Programme content
This programme comprises four strands. The Sport Marketing strand 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. 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 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 strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and apply these 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
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. With the Coaching Theory and Practice area, 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 to name but a few. The Sport and Exercise Science strand looks at 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.

Sports Studies
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 comprises modules that are clustered into four academic strands that run from Year 1 to Year 3. Three of the strands are mandatory. Students then have the freedom to complement these with one additional strand that features in our 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 Sports Development strand explores the various ways in which sport can be both developed (for example, talent identification systems) and used for development (for example, nation building in the developing world). Sport at both the local/community level and international level is scrutinised. The challenges of resourcing both elite and mass participation sport are considered, along with issues related to the management and coaching of sport (for example, volunteering). The Research strand seeks to develop a familiarity with both quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies and apply these 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. The acquisition of such knowledge both underpins learning in other strands and becomes a prerequisite for the completion of a Dissertation.

He spoke about his experiences of coaching, working with elite teams and preparing for international competitions. It was great to get an insight into the professional world of sport – it helps to bring the subject to life. “A highlight for me has been the Study Abroad module when I had the opportunity to study in America for a semester. College football is a major event and to be able to experience that was amazing. “In my spare time I am a member of the student Badminton Society and the University’s Football 4th Team. I also get involved in the six-a-side league on Saturdays.

Teaching: Initial Teacher Education (Primary Education with recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status) BEd (Hons)/MEd (Hons) Primary Education at Winchester provides students with the opportunity to gain a degree and recommendation of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) at the same time. The programme is constantly reviewed to ensure students are equipped with the most up-to-date developments in primary education. The University has a strong reputation for teacher training. In 2010, Ofsted judged the provision as ‘Outstanding’, stating that students “display impressive levels of confidence and understanding about how to be effective teachers”. Programme content
BEd (Hons)/MEd (Hons) Primary Education aims to produce critically reflective practitioners able to understand the complexities and tensions in providing education for the twenty-first century, whilst ensuring compliance with the latest requirements of the Department for Education. 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. In Year 2, Semester 2, students have the opportunity to select a three- or four-year route. They will be supported in their decisions at this stage. This allows students time to experience both the taught programme and teaching in schools before selection, and addresses personal preferences for both academic and professional development opportunities. 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 an opportunity to gain up to 120 Level 7 Masters credits, which,
if achieved, qualifies students for the award of MEd before taking up employment in a first teaching post. If students select the four-year route, the Honours classification of their award will be determined by their achievements in the final two years. The programme aims are addressed through three key interdisciplinary themes, chosen for their relevance to the graduate primary teacher: • Identity • Perspectives • Relationships The three interrelated themes provide a unifying structure, to a professional educational programme, which combines the development of effective and skilled practice with analytical awareness. The programme’s approach is underpinned by consideration of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Students are nurtured to reflect on their educational values as they develop into enthusiastic, creative and respectful educators, equipped to engage with wider aspects of schooling such as citizenship and sustainability. Students are prepared to teach primary school children. They follow a core programme that includes

Florence Jones BEd (Hons) Primary Education (4 years) “I was attracted to Winchester because I was able to study a specific subject as part of the course – I chose Religious Education. “Our lectures are very practical so I’ve been able to build up a bank of great ideas that I can apply in the classroom at school. Gaining experience on placements in schools has been vital in developing me as a teacher and I feel more prepared to confidently enter a career in teaching. I found the balance of time spent studying at University and on placement in a school just right. “Last year I took part in the Winchester Hub’s Schools Plus volunteering scheme with other students. We worked as mentors in schools to change education inequality by helping children to reach their academic potential. This is something I’m extremely passionate about so this year I’ve become the Schools Plus Coordinator. “I hope to go straight into a job at my placement school once I’ve finished my course.”

Matt Palmer BA (Hons) Theology, Religion and Ethics “Theology is a subject that has always fascinated me as I like the challenge of looking for answers to ‘big questions’. The course explores the relationship between doctrinal beliefs and experienced beliefs, and you can tailor it however you want. I have been able to study politics and indigenous beliefs, as well as gender and sexuality in religion. “A highlight of the course was Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, coming to speak at the University. It was great to have the opportunity to see someone who we have studied. “The Department has been really good at helping me think about possible next steps. We had a career speed dating session that allowed us to speak to alumni about what they had gone on to do. I think I’d like to go on to do a Masters in Theology before embarking on my career.”

Read through the University of Winchester prospectus or visit our website (www.winchester.ac.uk/courses) to find out about the courses on offer.
Submit an application through UCAS (www.ucas.com) to the University from mid-September for one of our courses. Make sure you submit your application by the 15 January UCAS deadline. We review your application and make a decision within two to three weeks of you applying. If you apply for teaching, social work or performance (for example, Drama or Choreography and Dance) courses, you are required to attend an interview.
Come along and experience what it is like to be a University of Winchester student at one of our Open Days or arrange a Campus Tour. Explore the campus, find out more about the subject(s) that interest you and meet staff and current students.
We hope to offer you a place at the University. This may be a conditional offer, normally expressed in terms of UCAS tariff points, or an unconditional offer if you have already met our entry requirements (for example, those currently on a gap year).
UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER / 175 YEARS OF WORLD-LEADING VALUES-DRIVEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION
During the Spring, you will be invited to an Offer Holder Open Day, which provides an opportunity to attend a taster lecture for your course, before UCAS will ask you to choose your firm (first) and insurance (second) choice. In August, we receive your results and, subject to meeting our offer, your place will be confirmed. If your results are not quite as expected, do not panic! Contact our friendly team by calling +44 (0)1962 827234 or emailing course.enquiries@winchester.ac.uk for help and advice. You then receive a Welcome Pack containing all the information you need in advance of your arrival, with details of activities we want you to complete in advance, such as uploading a photo for your ID card and registering online.
Once you have accepted our offer you will be able to apply for University housing. The University of Winchester guarantees accommodation to all full-time first year undergraduate students who selected Winchester as their firm choice. Please note application deadlines do apply.
We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Winchester. UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016 / WWW.WINCHESTER.AC.UK

How do I apply?
What does it cost to apply?
All applications for full-time study are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Applications are made online by visiting www.ucas.com – click on ‘Apply’. Full instructions are available.
Details about payment amounts and how to pay are available at www.ucas.com
International students can apply directly to the University if Winchester is the only institution they wish to apply to.

There are also a selection of Foundation degree courses and Bachelor Honours top-up programmes available. For details please see our website. Applications for these courses are made directly to the University.
When do I apply? UCAS starts receiving applications for entry in autumn 2016 (or deferred entry in autumn 2017) from 1 September 2015. The closing date for the receipt of applications is 15 January 2016. You are advised to apply as early as possible. It is in the best interests of all applicants to apply before the 15 January deadline. While late applications are accepted by UCAS throughout the remainder of the application year, the University reserves the right to consider these at their discretion and no guarantee can be made that they will be given the same level of consideration as applications received prior to the UCAS closing date.
What if I want to apply for deferred entry? If students want to apply for deferred entry, applications are made in the usual way, but you should indicate on your UCAS form that you are aiming to start your university course in autumn 2017. The conditions of any offer will, however, have to be met by the summer of 2016.
How do I apply for part-time study?
Do I need to come for an interview? For the following Single Honours courses, it is currently necessary to be interviewed before a decision on your application can be made: Choreography and Dance; Comedy: Performance and Production; Digital Media Design; Digital Media Development; Drama; Journalism; Musical Theatre; Performing Arts; BEd/MEd Primary Education; Social Work; Street Arts: Performance and Production; Theatre for Children and Young People; Theatre Production (Arts and Stage Management); and Vocal and Choral Studies. The University of Winchester reserves the right to change this list at any time; therefore all applicants should be prepared to be interviewed.

Course entry requirements and UCAS codes Entry requirements We welcome applications from students from diverse educational backgrounds so we accept a wide range of qualifications for admission to the University of Winchester. Individual courses have specific entry requirements which are detailed on pages 189-193. This information should be regarded as a guide only. For the most up-to-date entry requirements please visit the website at www.winchester.ac.uk Some of the more common qualifications accepted by the University are detailed within this section. If you have a qualification not listed, please contact the Course Enquiries and Applications team by emailing course.enquiries@winchester.ac.uk
UCAS tariff points The majority of UK students will use the UCAS tariff (see pages 194-195 for an equivalency table) to determine whether their qualifications meet the standard required by the University. Details of UCAS tariff points required for particular subjects are detailed in the course entry requirements on pages 189-193 or on each course’s Fact File. The University of Winchester accepts UCAS tariff points earned from a variety of qualifications including A2, BTEC National Diplomas and Certificates, CACHE Diplomas, the Extended Project (EPQ), Scottish Highers, Irish Leaving Certificate and the Welsh Baccalaureate. While the majority of UCAS tariff points are accumulated through the completion of A2 (or equivalent) qualifications, the University allows a maximum of 80 UCAS tariff points, which have been earned through successful completion of qualifications below A2 (or equivalent) standard, to be counted toward the total entry requirement. For example, AS level(s) not continued to A2, Key Skills, music examinations and Institute of Financial Services qualifications.
Please note the UCAS tariff points are changing for 2017 entry, however if you apply in 2015/16 for deferred entry your offer is based on the current tariff.
GCSEs All applicants must possess a good level of competence in English Language, a pass at grade C or above in English Language or equivalent. A grade C or above in Mathematics or Science (or equivalent) is also normally required. There are specific GCSE requirements for some programmes and these are detailed on pages 188-193.

Mature students We welcome applicants who are over 21 and many have a wide range of qualifications and experience. If you are able to demonstrate recent study at Level 3 or above, for example achieving one A level, then you may not need to fulfil the standard entry requirements for your chosen programme. Applications from mature students are considered on their own individual merit, and work and other experience can be taken into consideration.
Access requirements For mature students, achieving a pass at an Access course will fulfil the general entry requirement for the majority of our programmes. Applicants under 21 are required to achieve a minimum of 30 credits at Distinction level and 15 at Merit or above. Please check the entry requirements table on pages 188-193 to see if this applies to you.

Our values
20 0
World-leading values-driven higher education We value freedom, justice, truth, human rights and collective effort for the public good. The plans and actions of the University of Winchester are founded in these ideals and we endeavour to live them out in everything we do. Winchester is about:
Intellectual freedom
Spirituality
Intellectual freedom and its appropriate expression are at the heart of our business.
The University celebrates its Christian foundation, and welcomes people of all faiths and none. Together, we aim to explore the mystery of life and to grow in wisdom and love.
Social justice We seek to embody social justice and develop our students as effective and fulfilled global citizens. They will be prepared to challenge the status quo and will have the strength to stand up for what they believe to be true.
Diversity We delight in diversity.
Individuals matter The wellbeing of individuals is important, as are their opinions and views.
Creativity Permeability, agility and imagination are central to our thinking: we endeavour to act as a crucible for the generation and exchange of knowledge.
