Liberal Arts, BA (Hons)
Liberal Arts is firmly established in the US and an increasingly popular choice at British universities. Students select from a wide range of Humanities and Social Science options (including literature and cultural studies, history, sociology, film and media studies, linguistics, politics and philosophy) and tailor their studies to their own interests and academic strengths. The course permits some specialisation (students may concentrate in one subject for up to 50% of their studies), but it does not require specialisation (your studies will be made up from up to six different disciplines). You will also have the opportunity to:
- Study a modern European language at beginner, intermediate and advanced level
- Add a year abroad, for additional breadth and experience
- Develop professional skills and work experience through modules from our Centre for Volunteering and Community Leadership, with accreditation from the ILM
- Select modules that fit your own interests and play to your academic strengths from a wide range of Humanities and Social Science disciplines
- Learn a modern language alongside your other studies
- Gain work experience through modules with a work-placement element
