Themes in Language, Truth and Literature (Q3020)
30 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
This module will look in detail at themes related to language, truth, and literature. The focus of the module will vary from year to year depending on the tutor. This is because, as a 3rd-year dissertation module, the theme chosen will reflect the knowledge and research of the lecturer/tutor. Students will choose their own dissertation title in consultation with the lecturer/tutor, but must stick to some aspect of the range of material covered and the dissertation must be centred around the theme or themes that lie at the heart of the module.
