Researching, Creating and Communicating in the Humanities 2 (V9130)

15 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

The aim of this module is to further develop subject-specific academic practices and skills so that you communicate, create and research effectively whilst at university. It also aims to equip you with transferable skills for life beyond Sussex.

You will build on a range of skills associated with research and independent study skills, academic writing, presenting, and digital skills, including use of digital technologies.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 22 hours of contact time and about 128 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2023/24. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
