Liberal Arts (BA)

Human knowledge in the modern world is commonly divided into disciplines such as literature, art, history, politics and the sciences. The BA Liberal Arts embraces the different perspectives of these disciplines to help you gain deeper knowledge about the world and its interconnections. It allows you to design your own truly interdisciplinary programme according to your interests and strengths.

From a solid spine of critical skills modules taught in the Department of English, Theatre and Creative Writing, you will branch out into a breadth of subjects in the Schools of Arts, Social Sciences, History and Philosophy and Law. You can choose from literature, theatre studies and creative writing, film and media, modern languages, art, history, geography, law and criminology, philosophy, politics and psychosocial studies, to build a degree which will fulfil your intellectual potential and develop your employability.

Employers highly value the core analytical, critical and communication skills a liberal arts degree will give you. It will also prepare you for further study at Master's or PhD level.

This course is also available for full-time evening study over three years or part-time evening study over four years.
