In this, as in everything, we encourage individual initiative and creativity. Teaching takes a variety of forms, mainly lectures and seminars with an emphasis on small group work. Biblical language students also have access to excellent language laboratory facilities. Joint' students cover fifty per cent of the Single Honours programme. The first year includes two of the core courses described above and two single modules.
Ancillary courses are available from the main programme.
