Critical thinking and innovative problem solving is at the heart of a Liberal Arts education. Based on a long tradition of thinking across different disciplines to solve the most pressing challenges of the day Liberal Arts aims to form global citizens who will be future leaders and independent thinkers. By teaching you how to learn rather than what to learn, a Liberal Arts education exposes you to a broad range of knowledge, allowing you to specialize in an issue or problem that matters most to you.
On this interdisciplinary degree we will encourage you to think independently as you work closely with experts from across the University. In small groups you will explore challenging problems from different times and places, using a toolkit of emergent skills to create your own responses. This course is ideal for passionate students who want to learn across disciplines and build their degree around their interests and ambitions.
Dedicated expert tutors with a passion for liberal education lead the Liberal Arts modules. These modules focus on investigating key issues from multiple disciplinary perspectives and developing your critical thinking skills. You will learn how to analyses cutting-edge problems and to think outside the box as you evaluate and solve them. These modules will also help you to build your primary and secondary research skills. We will also prepare you to engage in different modules as you explore subjects across the humanities, arts, sciences, and social sciences.
