以UCL为例
本科:
BA English没有专业分支,但是可以选择模块
In the first year of your degree you will take four modules which constitute a foundation for the study of English literature.
The first year of the English BA acts as a foundation for the two following years, covering major narrative texts from the Renaissance to the present, an introduction to Old and Middle English, the study of critical method, and the study of intellectual and cultural sources (texts which influence English literature but which are not in themselves necessarily classified as such).
The flexible second- and third-year programme is deliberately structured to give you maximum freedom to choose modules in whichever combination suits you.
