Humanities modules available for incoming exchange students, 2018-19 The Department of Humanities covers the subject groups, Linguistics and History. Depending on your study programme at home, you may choose to pick options from one subject groups or across all three areas. You can find a list of the available Semester 1 options on page 2 of this document and a list of the Semester 2 options on page 3. Module codes that start with the number 4 are taken by our first-year BA students; those with a 5 are for second-year students; and 6 means that the module is at third-year level. We do not impose any restrictions on Erasmus students regarding the level at which they take their options. However, you or your home university might have views regarding the appropriate level. There are a number of year-long modules available, all worth 10 ECTs. Please, note that if you choose those modules, you are committing yourself to taking them for the whole year (2 semesters) to get the credit. All other modules run for one semester (12 weeks) and are worth 10 ECTs. Most modules in semester 1 are assessed by essays, while those in semester 2 sometimes feature an essay and an exam. You can look up information on these modules by typing the code into the following web form: http://nuweb2.northumbria.ac.uk/live/webserv/mod.php?code If you have any questions about these modules, please contact the departmental Erasmus coordinator, Dr Monika Smialkowska (monika.smialkowska@northumbria.ac.uk).
