Course description
Humanities is seen here as a window, a way of looking at the world, rather than a specific area of study. The programme is about modern culture, contemporary issues and understandings and how these understandings came into being.
This programme therefore allows you to study a range of humanities subjects rather than specialise. This degree is for you whether you have studied humanities subjects before or are returning to study after having discovered wide interests.
You select courses from a wide range in history, sociology, politics, philosophy, literature, languages and international studies. The difference between this and a combined honours degree is that rather than being restricted to courses within two disciplines, you select courses to develop themes of your choice.
A challenging, cross-disciplinary Humanities programme which allows students to pursue their own direction, with tutorial guidance. Courses are selected from:
-History
-Sociology
-Politics
-Philosophy
-Literature
-Media
-Languages
-International studies
Career options
