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 Jewish Studies area of specialisation enables you to study courses from Middle Eastern Studies and Religions & Theology. A coherent programme of studies draws upon course units from Middle Eastern Studies, Religions & Theology and Archaeology. Whilst the programme will appeal to Jewish students in providing a unique insight and source of understanding of their own tradition, the course units are also taken by many non-Jewish students.
