The department aims to furnish students with the investigative, analytic and interpretational methods and techniques appropriate to their area of study. In non-language subjects, students are encouraged to question texts and other evidential material and consider the methods by which answers may be sought. Particular attention is paid to different methodologies, and why their assumptions, approaches and preoccupations have changed over time.
In seeking to equip students with a sound methodological perspective, the department aims to ensure that they acquire the practical skills that are necessary to complete their undergraduate work requirements. Students are expected to develop skills, all important in the job marketplace, of clear expression, discrimination and accuracy in their written and oral presentations.
