Course descriptionCourse description
Combined Studies offers you a degree which allows you to study course units from Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and some Sciences. The degree is structured around a range of disciplines, and is therefore able to draw on a wide range of University Schools in order to make a wide selection of courses available to you. The structure of the degree is designed to provide both coherence and flexibility.
The increasing recognition of the centrality of linguistics as a model for other disciplines has made it an interesting partner for a wide variety of courses of study. Though the coverage of material in Linguistics is more limited than in most other areas of specialisation there are many possibilities of fruitful interaction with other subjects, especially by the third year.
Holocaust Studies allows an opportunity for cross-curricula study based around the theme of holocaust in the 20 th Century.
Special features
-Combine arts, social sciences and some sciences in a single degree programme.
