All material is studied in English and the module is available to language and non-language students alike.
Teaching is via twice-weekly lectures and occasional seminars, tutorials and film showings.
Students who complete the module should feel that their knowledge of twentieth-century European themes is much enhanced, particularly in terms of the interrelationship between cultural and political issues. Texts may be obtained from Campus Bookshop or Galloways in Pier Street. Students are required to read all texts. In the exam students will write two essays, at least one of which must be on a different topic from those chosen for term essays. As a general rule, essay topics will allow students to emphasise cultural or political issues or to combine the two.
