About the Faculty of Arts & Humanities

Meeting the challenges of today conceptually, historically, creatively and imaginatively.

King’s Arts & Humanities is the home of eleven departments — distinctive in representing exceptional strength in both the longer established disciplines (such as Philosophy, Classics, Theology, English, History, Languages, and Music) and world-leading quality in more recently established fields (such as Digital Humanities, Film, Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts, and Culture, Media and Creative Industries).

Teaching over 5,000 students and 600 PhD researchers through its Doctoral School, King's Arts & Humanities is one of the largest Faculties of its kind in the UK.

King's Arts & Humanities is ranked in the top 5 in the UK (QS Subject Rankings 2025).
