Course 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 Literary Studies area of specialisation allows you to study a wide variety of literature. The main bulk of the courses are provided by English and American Studies, but options are available from Drama, Comparative Literary Studies and Latin/Greek. Literary Studies is a very popular option with almost half of the students reading Combined Studies at any one time taking this area.
The Classical Civilisation & Art History study area allows you to choose courses from Classics, Archaeology and Art History. Other courses are offered by History, Theology, Philosophy (relating most closely to Classical Civilisation) and Geology (relating most closely to Archaeology).

A degree in Combined Studies gives access to numerous possibilities for further study or training, and future employment: our students have become teachers, translators, journalists, social workers; have joined TV companies and multi-national firms; have entered, in fact, all the careers usually open to Arts and Social Science graduates. Many go on to postgraduate study. In our experience many employers look favourably on students who have demonstrated their abilities in more than one field.
