The degree in Humanities gives you a chance to develop your interests across a range of areas. A degree course here will expose you to the knowledge and ideas of many subjects. You will be given the opportunity to explore outside your main interests and expand your intellectual horizons.
Humanities is about values, imagination, ideas, and debate.
It is about modern culture, contemporary issues and understandings. It is also about how these understandings came into being, so it is about the past as well. The School of Humanities offers courses taught by specialists in History, English Literature, Theatre and Media Studies, Cultural Geography, Philosophy, Theology and Politics. We share an interest in moving beyond our traditional specialisms. In your first year you will take one major interdisciplinary course which draws on the ideas and approaches of many subjects.
