The Faculty of Arts and Humanities includes seven departments and schools, which run a wide range of undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes, supervise the work of research students, and produce world-class research in and across their disciplines.
Through Combined Honours in Arts, the Faculty offers Combined Honours in Arts, a flexible, multidisciplinary BA programme, which gives undergraduates the opportunity to study up to four subjects in and beyond the Faculty.
Research
Apart from our world-class departmental research, we also contribute strongly to the Institute of Advanced Study, as well as several inter-departmental research centres and institutes.
