This degree gives you the freedom to combine the study of different subject areas in the arts and humanities. You'll develop a specialism in English language, exploring how the English language works, along with its history and influence. You can combine this with a second specialism or choose to develop broader interests in art history, classical studies, creative writing, English literature, history, modern languages, music, philosophy, and religious studies. You'll also discover how knowledge is created and shared in the arts and humanities, stretch your imagination and develop your own creative and critical responses. By studying this degree, you'll become an independent learner and a member of a diverse and vibrant student community.
