English at Exeter

Hi, just looking for any opinions on English and/or English with American studies at Exeter. Whats good? bad? Worth it?? I've read the prospectus but i'd rather hear views from the people who are or have actually studied it there. Thank you!

Hiya

I can only comment on the English side of it, but maybe you'd like to PM Evil Muffin - she's just graduated from Exeter in English & American Studies.

In the first year of single hons English, you take Past and Present 1 and 2 (the literature modules) and Culture and Criticism 2 (the theory modules). This is good as you get to do a bit of everything, which gives you a solid base for your second and third years. In your 2nd and 3rd years you have to do one pre-1800 module, and in your 3rd year you have to do one core module and a dissertation as well. All your other modules in these two years can be whatever you like.

For the American Studies bit, your course is still three years - you just study in America for your second year. I gather the course is rather different, as is the way of marking, but you can talk to Evil Muffin about that :smile:
