SL3502: GREAT WORKS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD (PART 1) (2016-2017)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

Great Works is a unique combination of two stand-alone courses (SL3502 and SL3802). The aim of these modules is to offer students the opportunity to fully explore and critically assess the argument(s) and/or wider significance of a selected text. In addition to books selected from across the social sciences, several landmark works of fiction are also offered, chosen from a range of titles that are regarded as having had significant social political or economic impact. This distinctive independent learning course is intended to appeal to students across the Arts and Humanities.
