Our rich and challenging liberal arts programme allows you to explore the Arts and Humanities while building crucial skills in analysis and communication that will be valuable to you throughout your studies. Study Abroad (Liberal Arts pathway) students have the unique advantage of being able to choose units from across the School of Arts, the School of Humanities, and the School of Modern Languages.

Pre-requisites

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

• Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
• Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
• Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
• Masters-level units require three years of study in the discipline.
