For Combined Honours UCAS codes and entry requirements
The degree combines compulsory modules covering art, religion, literature, science and the history of ideas with a wide range of optional modules. This enables students to have flexibility and control over their programme of study and the content of their assessments.
The core modules introduce students to some of the most profound questions concerning human existence from across a range of subject disciplines. The optional modules look at many aspects of liberal arts in detail, enabling students to pursue those they are most interested in. These modules, among other things, cover the Holocaust, ecology, the soul, religion(s), art, music, science, literature, education and philosophy. It is also possible, in certain cases, to take additional modules from other programmes.
Study on the programme draws on classical and modern texts, and from contemporary and popular culture, including film, music and art. In summary, a graduate in Modern Liberal Arts will have explored a vast range of profound and important ideas and concepts, unrestricted by academic subject boundaries. They will have read and reflected on many of the most influential texts in the Western tradition, and beyond, and presented their own conclusions both in writing and orally.
