This programme offers a new approach to the traditional academic skills developed in the Arts and Humanities through a broad, flexible, and interdisciplinary degree structure. It allows students to develop a comprehensive understanding of key issues of global concern, including in the areas of the environment and social justice, while also highlighting the importance of civic engagement. A distinctive feature of the programme is the opportunity to specialize in an area of additional interest through a subsidiary pathway in Comparative Literature. During the pre-Honours years, students take core Liberal Arts courses that introduce fundamental concepts of humanistic inquiry in the twenty-first century. These courses focus on critical thinking, active learning, and reflective practice. Core courses in Comparative Literature also provide a grounding in that subject in the pre-Honours years. In the Honours years, students continue to benefit from a wide range of course and subject choices and gain experience of independent research, while concluding their study of the Liberal Arts core and of Comparative Literature specialist options.<br/><br/>This programme aims to:<br/><br/>• Offer students the opportunity of studying culturally different texts in a framework which includes issues of gender, ethnicity and colonial, post-colonial and decolonial experiences.<br/>• Engage students in collaborative learning with peers and staff from a wide range of subject areas and disciplines, fostering teamwork and interdisciplinary communication.<br/>• Practise skills of analysis, close reading, and effective communication in both oral and written forms, across the subjects which form part of the degree.<br/>• Conduct independent research through the production of an extended piece of writing.<br/>• Develop essential skills of presentation and communication as well as IT skills and qualities of initiative through the assessed study of a broad range of Arts and Humanities courses. <br/>• Benefit from the comparison of approaches across a range of different subject areas and reflect interdisciplinary perspectives in written and spoken forms.<br/>• Equip students with the knowledge and skills for undergraduate and postgraduate life, including employability.
