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. The courses we offer at the moment are Victorian Studies , Culture and Cultures and Ideas in the Modern World . Our graduates often go on to teaching, to the public or voluntary sector, or a range of media and other private sector jobs.
Women are in the majority, and one in four comes from an ethnic minority.
Our students are usually at a crossroads in their lives and want a new direction or the chance to explore new paths. This degree offers you a lot of choice in courses. Whichever ones you choose, you will learn to write better, to speak in front of a group, to be creative, computer literate and culturally informed. You will be able to analyse a variety of texts, documents, statistics, films, pictures and places. You will be equipped for a variety of careers and for a wide range of postgraduate study.
