Introduction

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 classical studies, exploring classical Greece and Rome through a wide variety of sources. You can combine this with a second specialism or choose to develop broader interests in art history, creative writing, English language, 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.
