Course summary

Keen to study a humanities subject but not sure about your options? Join our 1-year course to explore and get the skills you need to continue to a degree.

Learning how to research, evaluate and communicate is a key part of your studies. How does literacy influence cultures? Are nations created by law and governance, or habits and customs? What can philosophies and religions teach us about being human? These are some of the big questions you’ll explore.

You’ll study 8 modules, including compulsory modules such as Nation and Identity, and optional modules you can choose from, including Global Issues and Eastern Religious Philosophies. You’ll learn from leading academics and discover the most recent developments in areas from history to literature.

You’ll learn through lectures, tutorials, workshops, and independent study – with no exams. Academic staff teach across the humanities, meaning you’ll benefit from a range of research-rich knowledge and you can expect a sense of community, dedicated support, and detailed feedback on your work throughout the year.
