For example, these two modules may be of interest to History students: ENGL426: On Location in the Lakes LICA 416: Cinema and History In addition to LICA and English, see also DELC; Women’s Studies; Sociology; etc.! Please note that you may also be able to do one module from one of our partner institutions in the ESRC and AHRC Doctoral Training Centres. Please consult with Professor Naomi Tadmor if you are interested. Note also that the Faculty runs a research training programme (RTP) for postgraduate students which can be taken for enrichment or credit. See http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/arts-and-social-sciences/study/postgraduate/research-training-programme/ Teaching and Course OrganisationIndividual modules are taught as discussion-based seminars or, in some cases, as practical workshops, through which you are encouraged to pursue your own interests. Individual supervision is provided for the dissertation. 
Each Course Convenor will ensure at an appropriate time, normally at the beginning of the course, that Module Study Guides containing - for example, information on the module’s intended learning outcomes, teaching and learning strategy, assessment patterns, lecture syllabus, reading list, essay list and seminar programme - are available on-line, via the University’s virtual learning website, Moodle. In Michaelmas term, you are allocated to a Supervisor who is also your Academic Tutor and is your first point of contact for academic guidance. You will be notified by the Postgraduate Coordinator which member of staff is your Supervisor and Academic Tutor. Full-time students should normally expect to meet supervisors two to three times each term (Michaelmas, Lent and Summer Term). Additional meetings or communication may be scheduled during the Summer period (ie after Summer Term), though this varies, depending on research leave or annual holidays. The maximum number of meetings will add up to c.five hours, often delivered through ten half-an-hour meetings (students and supervisors can agree fewer sessions of greater length if they prefer). You should also have one-to-one meetings with your Academic Tutor once a term, which can take place at the same time as supervisions but which are in addition to the time allowance allocated to supervision. These meetings will offer an opportunity to discuss your progress, highlight any factors that are affecting your performance, and discuss ways to address any issues. For example, for full time students, the Michaelmas meeting can serve as introduction and discussion of relevant past experience and personal goals; the Lent meeting can discuss grades and feedback across Michaelmas modules; the Summer meeting can discuss Lent module feedback and progress, and post-MA career plans. (The progress of the MA dissertation is covered within supervisions.) Please remember that your supervisor is your first point of contact in the department. He or she may direct you to other members of the department, including the Postgraduate Director.
