York St John’s literature

I plan to study here in September and was wondering if anyone else was doing literature? On top of that, does anyone know what the contact hours are like? :smile:)

Assuming you mean the BA English Literature course, their website says:
"You will typically study 3 modules each semester. Each module will normally have 3 hours of contact time each week, so you will have approximately 9 hours each week of teaching."

Hi,

This is the course page that has all the English literature courses that are offered at YSJ.
English Literature | York St John University (yorksj.ac.uk)

I didn't study English literature at undergraduate (I'm a masters student), but I did study professional policing at YSJ. I had roughly 12- 15 contact hours each week, which was broken up in to 3 lectures, 3 seminars and the odd workshop or tutorial depending on the year of study.

I would recommend that you attend a open day, so you can find out more about the course and have a look around the university.

The next open days are:

Tuesday 2 July 2024, 9.15am to 3.30pm

Saturday 17 August 2024, 9.15am to 3.30pm

This is a link to book on to a open day:

Hope this helps!

Hello!!! I am also going to study literature there in September! I am very happy to have found others in the same boat as me. I'm very excited (but nervous)!
