The programme has a compulsory core element in both first and second years with two courses (30 credits and 15 credits in Yrs 1 and 2 respectively) which give bespoke critical and theoretical parameters for students of the global. Either side of these students take a balanced selection of courses in each Department which have been carefully selected and designed to facilitate and provoke thought on issues of text, authorship and production in the context of global literatures and cultures. An optional dissertation is available in Year 3 of the degree. Teaching will be through a combination of lectures, seminars and tutorials. As a Joint Honours student you will have a Personal Tutor in each Department. The interdisciplinary nature of the degree means that whilst the written essay will be the primary means of assessment the degree will provide a number of opportunities to engage in alternate assessment modes including podcasts, poster presentations, and visual analyses. A concern to embed transferable skills and to afford some workplace skills runs through the course assessment design.

The tuition fee for UK undergraduates is controlled by Government regulations, and for those starting a degree in the academic year 2021/22, is £9,250 for that year. The fee for UK undergraduates starting in 2022/23 has not yet been confirmed. The UK Government has confirmed that EU nationals are no longer eligible to pay the same fees as UK students, nor be eligible for funding from the Student Loans Company (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/student-loans-company). This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2022, we will award a fee reduction scholarship equivalent to 60% of the difference between the UK and international fee for your course. This will apply for the duration of your course. Fees for international students may increase year-on-year in line with the rate of inflation. The policy at Royal Holloway is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information see fees and funding (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/fees-and-funding/) and our terms and conditions (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/applying/admissions-policy-and-procedures/).
