Course Key Topics
the English Literature (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: Introduction
This Unit is the introduction to the short story. It introduces the genre of the ‘short story’ its history and features. The unit considers the short story and its broader perspectives and enables the student to have a definitive framework in which to read and comprehend short stories. The short story comes in many forms, shapes and sizes and this module considers the various structures. The unit offers a guide for the student on how to study the short story.
The third section of this introduction examines the elements of plot, character, setting and style from the reader’s perspective and also the authorial intention. Having considered the make-up of the short story the unit applies them to a measured reading of Charles Dickens’ short story The Poor Relation. This is followed by a graded assessment to test the student’s knowledge.
Module 2: Arnold Bennett
Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley, Staffordshire, Arnold was the eldest child of a pawnbroker who had improved himself and become a solicitor. His father wanted him to follow his example and qualify as a solicitor but Arnold failed a crucial university entrance examination. He became a solicitor’s clerk, at first in his father’s office and, from 1889, in London.
Bennett was a prolific author, who produced thirty novels, he is especially regarded for those set in the Staffordshire scenery of his childhood, the Potteries. In his earlier career, Arnold Bennett was also a respected playwright, his interest in the theatre following on from his work as a critic. Shortly after the outbreak of the First World War the head of the War Propaganda Board invited twenty-five major British authors to discuss the best ways to promote British interests during the period of the war. Bennett was one of the authors alongside, Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, H G Wells and Rudyard Kipling. Bennett became a critical figure in this covert organisation known as (WPB). He made a huge contribution to the propaganda effort during the war.
For the purpose of Module Two the student will focus on a short story by Bennett entitled News of the Engagement which illustrates his style and range.
Module 3: The Novel: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
This module answers the question ‘What is a Novel’? It provides the student with an overview of the broad categories that a novel can embrace. This module introduces the student to both Mary Shelley and the Gothic genre. Gothic literature has many characteristics and these are examined in relation to Frankenstein.
Far too often students think that Frankenstein is the name of the monster but in fact it is the name of his creator and this module looks in depth at the plot, the characters in the novel, and the themes that the novel addresses. This module places demands on the student to consider a large amount of relevant material. However it is a fascinating module and one which will deepen the student’s literary knowledge.
Module 4: Poetry: Shakespeare’s Sonnets
It is impossible for a student of literature to ignore either Shakespeare or poetry. Therefore Module 4 looks at the fundamental specifics to understanding poetry and poetic devices.
The module moves on to a biography of Shakespeare and the theatres and audience of his time. The study material for this module is the Sonnet specifically Sonnet 27 and Sonnet 130 and with the application of the poetic knowledge the student has acquired an in-depth study of these two works is comprehensible.
Module 5: Poetry: Pre 1914
Robert Browning was born 7 May 1812 and died 12 December 1889. He had a brilliant mind and was writing poems and reading Homer at a very young age. He is as famous for his writing as for his love affair with Elizabeth Barrett also a famous poet.
Applying the skills and understanding acquired in Module 4 the student will consider in detail two dramatic monologues by Robert Browning.
Module 6: Poetry: Post 1914
The module moves on to look at two post 1914 poets and examples of their work.
Robert Frost was one of the leading twentieth century American poets. He won the Pulitzer Prize four times and was fundamentally a pastoral poet linked to New England. The poem in Module Six is deeply philosophical and goes beyond American ideology creating universal themes which are applicable to the twenty first century reader. Tony Harrison by contrast to Frost is British and is the leading film and theatre poet of our times. His work is embedded with family values and the emotions that are a part of all families regardless of social class.
Again the knowledge the student has learned will be applied to the study of these celebrated poets and the fine examples of their work.
Module 7: First World War Poetry and Poetry From Other Cultures
Bringing together all the skills the student now has, Module Seven looks at a wide range of poetry which contains political and social messages. Commencing with World War I poetry and its significance in retaliating against World War I propaganda of the glories of war, Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon’s poetry is indicative of the power of the poetic medium.
The second part of this module moves onto poetry from other cultures. Breaking down the meaning of culture in the modern world and the manner in which poets deal with feelings of exclusion, alienation and prejudice.
Module 8: Drama
What is drama? The student will become familiar with the various dramatic techniques that abound in dramatic texts. Module Eight considers such techniques in relation to Act I of Hobson’s Choice. What was the authorial intention? What did Harold Brighouse intend to convey in this seemingly simple play and how does he set out to achieve his aims?
Module 9: Hobson’s Choice
This Module continues to explore Hobson’s Choice looking closely at Act II. The many themes which are incorporated in the play are examined for their deeper meaning.
Module 10: Hobson’s Choice
Finishing with Acts III to VI the student will examine the manner in which themes and ideas are conveyed to the audience through the means of drama. How effectively these are achieved and how deep and enduring such ideas can be for the audience.
This module conveys the significance of social issues within drama and the implications of topics such as gender, social class, and marriage.

Career Profile - Museum/Gallery Curator
Career Profile
Curators play an important part in both managing the artefacts or works of art in a museum or gallery and making collections come alive
As a museum or gallery curator, you’ll manage collections of artefacts or works of art. This includes dealing with the acquisition, care, display and interpretation of items with the aim of informing and educating the public.
It can be a varied job and often includes other activities, such as managing public relations, marketing, fundraising and running education programmes. Curators are also expected to prepare budgets, manage staff and build relationships with both internal and external partners and stakeholders.
It’s becoming common for museums, galleries, heritage and tourism attractions to develop collaborative relationships and share collections, as well as their expertise, so it’s essential to construct innovative and creative exhibitions that appeal to a wide cross-section of the general public. The increase in new digital platforms also offers new opportunities for curators to distribute and engage with collections.
Responsibilities
As a Museum/Gallery Curator, you’ll need to:
* acquire objects or collections of interest to the museum or gallery
* catalogue acquisitions and keep records
* carry out background research and write catalogues
* display objects or collections in a way that makes them accessible and engaging to the general public
* write materials and articles for the website
* write articles for internal and external publications
* plan, organise, interpret and present exhibitions and lectures
* have responsibility for collection documentation and management
* collaborate with other museum departments, such as education, fundraising, marketing and conservation
* write bids
* negotiate loan items, external loans and the accompanying funding
* handle enquiries from researchers and the public
* deal with and understand computer-generated imagery and website software as part of enhancing visitor interaction and experience
* plan, forecast and report on budgets
* manage staff recruitment, training, promotion and development
* deal with enquiries from clients and stakeholders
* liaise with voluntary groups, the community and industry (including schools, local history and other community groups), as well as grant agencies to secure sponsorship for events, publications and development projects
* liaise with management boards, governors, trustees and local council and political groups to secure the future of the museum
* network with other museum and art gallery professionals and outside agencies.
Salary
* The annual salary for assistant curators is around £18,000 to £25,000, depending on location and responsibilities.
* Typical salaries at a higher level, for those with experience, range from £26,000 to £35,000.
* Salaries at senior level such as lead curator or head of collections can exceed £40,000.
Salaries vary depending on your experience, level of responsibility and the size of the employing organisation.
Benefit packages can include flexible working, career break sabbaticals, professional membership and discounts.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Working hours are mainly Monday to Friday, but extra hours are often necessary in the run up to an exhibition, providing cover for evening meetings or other work-related social events for which time off in lieu is usually claimed. Part-time work may be possible.
What to expect
* Self-employment and contract work are common, particularly in the field of archaeology where consultancy work can lead to international opportunities.
* Jobs are mainly available in large towns and cities, although specialist museums exist in smaller towns and in rural areas.
* Travel within a working day may occasionally be required. Absence from home overnight is uncommon.
* Overseas work or travel is uncommon except for those whose expertise is recognised internationally. Sometimes, curators and conservators working for the larger galleries or museums will be asked to attend conferences and/or act as couriers accompanying pieces travelling on loan to other institutions.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* an interest in and knowledge of a relevant subject area
* accuracy and attention to detail
* communication skills, both written and oral
* information technology and web design skills
* motivation and creative flair
* influencing and negotiation skills
* organisation, planning and administrative skills
* project management skills
political awareness
* research skills
* teamwork skills and the ability to build and develop relationships
* a flexible approach to work.
Career prospects
Most curators will have worked as assistant curators, or assistants in other areas of museum or gallery work, before securing the role of curator. Most job advertisements for assistant-level posts will ask for two years of relevant experience.
You’ll need to take responsibility for managing and developing your own career, which, given appropriate experience and contacts, may include freelance and consultancy work. You may also move between sectors, particularly at senior managerial or specialist-technical level. Ongoing promotion is likely to be into broader-based management roles with less daily contact with collections.
Budgeting, financial management and income generation through fundraising, entry fees and retailing can all be essential skills for the generalist curator and for those wanting to secure a more senior role.
While many museums and galleries don’t make a charge for entry, the value for money they give in terms of cost-per-visitor per year is subject to careful scrutiny. Curators are, therefore, expected to establish good relationships with donors and you’ll need to develop the professional skills and competencies that will enable you to build links with key stakeholders, including local communities, governing bodies and research institutions.
All museum professionals should adhere to the code of ethics for museums.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
