SECOND YEAR MODULE CHOICE FORM - BA COMPARATIVE LITERATURE 2013-14
Please read the instructions carefully and select your modules for 2013-14 by completing this form. Information about these modules can be found on
the Comparative Literature webpages: www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/complit/modules/index.aspx
Please note the following:
1. You must take 120 credits (as most modules are 15 credits, this will usually mean you choose 8 modules).
2. As far as possible, you should choose equal numbers of modules for semesters 1 and 2.
3. If you are taking a Modern Language Centre module this year, it is recommended you continue with the next level in that language.
4. LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT: To fulfil the programme’s language requirement, you must ensure at least one of your modules has extensive content
based on texts in a modern foreign language, or is a language module offered by the Modern Language Centre. Suitable Comparative Literature
modules and Departments offering suitable modules are marked with an asterisk*. (Comparative Literature modules listed on this form do not
require knowledge of the language involved as texts can be read in translation. However, if you choose one of these to fulfil your language
requirement, you should be prepared to read the texts in the original language).
5. Some modules in other departments have prerequisites, such as language proficiency or prior study. See the module booklet for details.
