Course overview

This certificate is equivalent to one year of the BA degree in Languages and Cultures (South Asia Pathway), and is designed for students who want to study South Asia but cannot commit themselves to a three year degree programme.

Structure

The composition of the Certificate is flexible, but would typically be similar to that of the first year of BA Languages & Cultures (South Asia Pathway), consisting of a language, introductory modules, and/or further units on South Asian subjects from within the Department or elsewhere in the School. Individual programmes have to be approved by the Programme Convenor or the Head of Department.
