BA Liberal Arts
Your Course
The BA in Liberal Arts combines depth and breadth of study, and places particular emphasis on the use of inter-disciplinary methods of enquiry. Liberal Arts is a highly flexible degree programme, enabling students to shape their course according to their own interests and enthusiasms whilst also developing skills and expertise in a specific discipline.
Each year, a student will take modules worth 120 credits.
The course has three strands that run through each year of study: Core, Major and Topic
[1] In each year, students take a Liberal Arts core module which in Year 1 and 2 comprises 20 credits, and in Year 3, 40 credits. The Liberal Arts core modules support the development of a strong Liberal Arts identity for students, promoting the intellectual benefits of the cross-disciplinary character of the programme and emphasise the development of core skills. For example, the Level 1 core module introduces students to the idea and practice of cross-disciplinary study, the history and idea of disciplines, and the role of the Liberal Arts. The Level 2 core module provides an opportunity to get involved with cutting-edge research, working in a small group with an academic supervisor, and creating impactful research outputs in a structured and supported way. The Level 3 core module is an interdisciplinary final year independent research project, developed and progressed by the student with the support of a subject-specific supervisor.
[2] Students choose a concentration of modules in one of the traditional academic disciplines in the Humanities or Social Sciences (English, History, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Politics). This strand constitutes the students major. In Year 1, 40 credits will be from a student's major. In Year 2 and 3, 60 credits will be from their major. Liberal Arts students are therefore guaranteed a thorough formation in the methods and practices of one discipline and will be exposed to internationally recognised research and innovation.
[3] Students choose a combination of modules drawn from Liberal Arts Topic areas. The Topic structure gives students the freedom to follow their interests across diverse subject areas and equips them with skills of cross-disciplinary enquiry. Topic modules are grouped into thematic multi-disciplinary baskets, and students are allowed to choose topic modules from one basket or more than one basket. They are permitted to choose from different topic baskets each year, should they wish, providing an exciting, flexible, and individually tailored programme.In Year 1, students take 60 credits of topic modules. In Year 2, students take 40 credits of topic modules. In Year 3, students take 20 credits of topic modules. [3]
The programme has an optional international variant, which includes a study abroad year at Level 3, and an industrial variant, which includes a work placement year at Level 3.
Your Future
The programme equips students with the transferrable skills and confidence they need to address diverse audiences across all levels of the programme, and in support of a variety of different career paths, including further study. Liberal Arts students develop key skills in communication, critical thinking and analysis, advanced synthesis of ideas across disciplinary boundaries, team-working, and independent research skills. The major subject enables students to develop in-depth specialist knowledge in one discipline but complement this with topic modules from a wide range of disciplines, tailored to the students' own interests but curated to provide robust intellectual pathways through complex ideas, themes and theories in the hu manities and social sciences. The Liberal Arts core modules provide focused training in varied skills of communication and inter-disciplinary critical thinking, giving students the opportunity to investigate a focal question and thoughtfully disseminate the findings of their research to diverse audiences.
Our World
The Liberal Arts programme aims to provide a rigorous intellectual formation that runs broad and deep, that ranges across disciplines in a thematically coherent way, and that enables students to acquire the adaptivity and independent critical thinking they will need to engage with the world beyond the University. There are opportunities for external engagement in Leeds and beyond, undertaking impactful, real-world research tasks. Through a varied suite of carefully curated modules, tailored to individual interest, students will have the chance to engage in research-based learning to consider the relationships between academic study and the wider world, and, importantly, think about their place within it and how they might best shape the world for the present and future.
