Course content

During each three-week session, you will take on intensive module. These modules will be worth 20 UK credits. In addition to your in-class sessions, most modules will incorporate field trips, offering you the chance to explore areas of London relevant to your studies.

You will live and learn on our beautiful parkland campus and have access to all the University's support services as well as a dedicated study abroad team.

London is one of the most diverse cities on earth. Its most iconic, stereotypical and canonical representations only partially reflect the various histories that have shaped the city. This module enables students to engage with those narratives, perspectives and imaginaries that are hidden, marginalised or lost, but that continue to shape contemporary London in often unacknowledged ways. As well as works of fiction and non-fiction, three choreographed London excursions will be at the centre of our discussions. Both, the key texts and the excursions will form the basis of writing exercises, during the seminar or 'in situ' at various London locations. Drawing on module themes, methods and discussions, you will be exploring your own versions of 'hidden' London in your creative pieces.
