Liberal Arts

Liberal Arts lets you shape your path and explore your passions, from film to politics. Build skills, think across disciplines and benefit from London’s networks.

Combine modules that reflect your individual interests and aspirations. Alongside the opportunity to learn a new language during your first year you can choose to study film, literature, history, politics, drama, international relations and much more. If you select Expressions as your major or minor theme, you’ll have an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture through our Study Abroad Year.

Alternatively, you can choose to gain valuable industry experience with a Year in Industry option, or you can complete your degree in 3 years. International students can apply for our Liberal Arts BA with an Integrated Foundation year. The choice is yours to shape an experience that’s right for you. 

 

BA Options:

  • 3 years full-time
  • 4 years full time with an Integrated Foundation Year, Year Abroad, or Year in Industry
  • 5 years full-time with a Year in Industry and Integrated Foundation Year, or with a Year Abroad and Integrated Foundation Year
