BA Liberal Arts

Our rich and challenging liberal arts programme allows you to explore the arts and humanities while building crucial skills in analysis and communication that will be valuable throughout your degree and beyond.

In years one and two you will devote at least a quarter of your studies to your specialist subject pathway, which you will choose from one of the disciplines in the Faculty of Arts.

You will be enrolled on a combination of bespoke core units exploring foundational and interdisciplinary issues in the arts and humanities, which may include the art of writing; the ways history shapes the present – and the present shapes history; and concepts of nature and beauty.

You will also study a language and learn how to work with data. Finally, you will be able to take optional units from the wide range of disciplines offered in the Faculty of Arts.

The final year includes an interdisciplinary dissertation and a unit that provides opportunities for working with organisations outside the University.

You can find more detailed information about units and pathway options via the 'course structure' link below.

If you are interested in the modern languages pathway, we encourage you to enrol on the MLibArts course. This four-year degree includes a year abroad, which will accelerate your language skills and provides an invaluable opportunity to develop your cultural knowledge. If you are unable to go abroad, the three-year degree with a modern languages pathway remains available.

Please note that the English, French, and Music pathways are available only to students who hold an A-level or equivalent qualification in that subject. In order to follow a language pathway, you must hold an A-level or equivalent qualification in any ancient or modern language.
