**Overview**
Cross the boundaries of subjects and disciplines and build a unique degree that is aligned with your intellectual interests and career objectives.

Liberal Arts at UEA harnesses the best research-led teaching from across the University, resulting in a radically different and unique programme. The course is based in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, but also taught across the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Sciences. This multidisciplinary and multi-Faculty approach means that in all elements of your degree you will benefit from world-leading expertise alongside the supportive and inclusive teaching techniques of UEA’s academics, while retaining a home and core support network within the Liberal Arts team.

Our creative and flexible approach to student-centred learning encourages you to achieve at the highest level. Liberal Arts at UEA combines academic and intellectual rigour with a supportive community and stimulating atmosphere to ensure an excellent student experience.

**About the course**
Studying Liberal Arts at UEA allows you to enjoy the prospect of taking control of your studies while still being supported by a course structure.

This is an innovative and challenging programme aimed at ambitious and versatile students who do not want to be limited by traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our course is ideal if you wish to study more than one subject area while accessing greater flexibility than traditional joint degrees allow. Whichever subjects you choose, you will be learning at the forefront of your chosen disciplines with our exciting research-led programme.

The course offers in-depth learning in your chosen field of specialisation, selected from subjects within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, which will constitute your major. This is then complemented by the study of other subjects alongside it, selected from within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the Faculty of Social Sciences, or the Faculty of Science, which will constitute your minor.

You might choose your major from History of Art, Film and Television Studies, Media Studies, American Studies, History, English Literature, Drama, International Relations, Politics, Philosophy, or Modern Languages. You might choose your minor from one of those subjects, producing a unique combination of Arts and Humanities otherwise unavailable. Or you might think beyond those subjects and pursue your minor in subjects such as Sociology, Mathematics, Environmental Sciences, Chemistry, or Computing Science. Your choice of subjects to study can produce some remarkable connections and insights! You might master writing and storytelling through the study of English Literature while gaining a competent grasp of Computing, equipping you for a host of digital careers. Or perhaps you’re motivated by the urgency of the Climate Crisis. Imagine combining the study of Philosophy – with a chance to explore our moral responsibility to the planet – with an understanding of Environmental Science.

By choosing your own elective modules in each of the years of your BA Liberal Arts degree at UEA, your studies will be unique to you. You'll select modules from across different Schools, allowing you to sample different methodologies, approaches and theories throughout your degree. Throughout the programme, you'll move between different Schools and Faculties across UEA, whilst retaining a core support network within the Liberal Arts team.

If you're looking for the freedom to follow your interests and passions, wherever these might take you, then Liberal Arts at UEA will be for you. This course will equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead and innovate. Whilst studying Liberal Arts at UEA, you will build an original and unique portfolio of expertise that will make you stand out from the crowd.
