Creative Writing
Economics
English
Environmental Science
Environmental Sustainability
European Languages
Film Studies
Geography
History
International Business
Philosophy
Politics & International Relations
Psychology
Urban Planning

We work hard to combine tradition with innovation. You can study anything from Shakespeare to human rights, science fiction to African history, macroeconomics to polar environments.
