Combined Honours with a Year in Industry

Our BA Combined Honours is for you if your interests span several academic disciplines in the Humanities, allowing you to focus on related debates within and between them. It represents an exciting and challenging opportunity to construct your own degree programme from an extensive list of modules. Our programme enables you to study subjects that are not available as established joint honours programmes, allowing you to develop a broad knowledge base and multidisciplinary skill set.

Tailor your studies across literature and culture, heritage and history, media and modern languages to explore the influence of the Humanities upon the world. Our BA Combined Honours is a challenging, rewarding, and flexible degree programme, which will enable you to focus on your individual interests, strengths, and long-term career goals.

This programme offers modules grouped into three ‘menus’. Students must choose modules from Menus A (Cultural Studies) and B (Past and Present); while Menu C (Languages) offers optional modules.

Furthermore, this course also offers you the opportunity to spend a Year in Industry, enabling you to gain valuable workplace experience. The University advocates for paid-only placements, which on average have a salary of over £20,000. Unpaid placements are considered on a case-by-case basis.

This interdisciplinary degree programme is as individual as you are. If your interests lie in the Humanities, it will allow you to create your own, personalised degree programme, through an open-ended combination of modules and subject areas. The result is a blend of knowledge, ability and experience that is unique to each student.
