Programme structure
Teaching is a combination of large lectures mixed with smaller workshops and seminars. Assessment is a mixture of coursework and exams. You can expect up to twelve hours a week of scheduled learning activities, and will be required to study independently for double that time per week.
The interdisciplinary nature of Black Studies means that you will leave with a critical and comprehensive understanding of society. Expanding the range of knowledge is vitally important, as it will equip you with the skills and knowledge to navigate and transform our ever-changing society.
As part of your degree, you will engage with organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors, and learn methods of how to do research with groups and communities that can help improve society. By your third year, you will be designing and running your own projects with the support of staff in the department.
Career opportunities
Studying a broad-ranging subject like Black Studies is an excellent route into a range of professional jobs, where you can be exposed to a variety of different ideas and critical thinking. This will enable you to consider a multitude of career options upon graduating, with the degree keeping the door open to professions such as social work, teaching and law.
