The BA Liberal Arts is interdisciplinary, innovative, and flexible, yet strongly grounded in the expert research-centred teaching of faculty in the Arts and Humanities.
Anchored by a distinctive core course in each year, you will study a broad range of options in the first year, before choosing a major for years two and three, which enables you to tailor the programme to your own interests. You are also encouraged to spend a semester abroad at one of our partner institutions in over 30 countries, and can take a credit-bearing internship module. You will study a modern language in year one, and have the opportunity to carry that on throughout the degree.
