This structure balances breadth and depth, and offers flexibility while ensuring you develop research expertise in your own area of interest. In years 2 and 3, students opt for a curriculum that is unique to them by choosing optional modules from two or more of the six pathways above. We’ll work with you to help you build a course that reflects what matters to you.
On this degree you will have access to many opportunities for work experience through our Careers Team, and access to face-to-face and 24/7 online careers support, whether you choose to live on campus or commute to us. The course also offers the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost your CV even further.
The Liberal Arts graduate will be highly employable in any sector from government and public sectors to education, media, volunteering/NGO sector, and the corporate sector.
Employability skills are embedded in the programme. It offers the opportunity for a year long work placement, the opportunity to spend a term abroad, and the opportunity to undertake a final year project module which builds from the previous year’s placement. Our ‘authentic assessment’ approach allows students to graduate with a portfolio which may include websites, blogs, video-essays, policy reports, reviews – all of which will display critical thinking, communication skills and analytical argument. The portfolio will be a valuable item in a graduate’s job hunting toolkit.
All modules are core and are worth 15 credits unless specified.
