Design your own degree pathway with the BSc Liberal Arts and Sciences, an interdisciplinary degree that integrates courses across a breadth of subject areas.<br/><br/>The Liberal Arts and Sciences Programme is an interdisciplinary learning pathway that allows self-motivated, curious, intellectually curious students to design their own degree pathway through university-level study. It is centred around exploring and integrating a wide breadth of courses, encompassing the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences.<br/><br/>Core courses for the degree are rooted in the School of Geosciences, where research and teaching spans archaeology, geography, geology, and planetary sciences. In addition to these core courses, students will select modules from other disciplines across the University at every level of study. Selecting optional courses across various disciplines allow our students to explore additional subjects of relevance to their individual learning goals, across a broad spectrum of subject areas.<br/><br/>At honours level, students will select a dissertation advisor within the School of Geosciences and will be encouraged to draw literature and methods from other fields and from co-advisors (where appropriate) in other departments, based on their own distinct learning objectives.<br/><br/>This programme is at the leading edge of interdisciplinary teaching which allows more bespoke, student-orientated approaches to higher education.
