Liberal Arts (Hons) Queen Mary University of London

Overview

This Liberal Arts (Hons) programme at Queen Mary University of London might be for you. Have a variety of interests? Prefer to grow your knowledge across a range of subjects, rather than just one? Liberal Arts is the idea of having a well-rounded education that cultivates the mind. With the flexibility to follow your intellectual curiosity throughout this programme, you’ll be able to explore the subjects you’re passionate about. 

Combine modules that reflect your individual interests and aspirations. Alongside learning a language during your first year, you can choose to study film, literature, history, politics, drama, international relations and much more. Taught by academics across multiple subjects, you’ll benefit from their world-leading research and outstanding contributions across environmental, political, and linguistic projects. 

Careers

Graduates from Queen Mary's School and the wider Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences go on to work in a wide variety of careers. Some apply their degree knowledge directly, entering careers such as education and the arts, whilst others transfer skills gained during study into areas such as public relations. Graduates who have developed specialisations in the wider Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences often find employment in areas such as business, finance, government and the media.

Whichever of these area specialisations you may have chosen, you will develop a wide range of skills and you will cover a wider range of topics and approaches than in a typical single or joint honours degree.

As a student on the BA Liberal Arts programme, you will also improve your abilities to analyse material, present arguments underpinned by evidence, evaluate different views and approaches to a subject, and express yourself effectively both orally and in writing.
