Course summary
The new BA in Liberal Arts is a programme of study for those with an endless curiosity and a broad range of interests. Liberal Arts students can distribute their study broadly across the disciplines of the Humanities. The interdisciplinary nature of this programme enables you to explore a wider range of thought forms and to develop skills tailored to your interests.
