Welcome to the School of Humanities

All our disciplines offer perspectives on the most significant aspects of human life and culture: birth, love and death, questions of ethics and problems of knowledge and evidence, the relation of our future to our past, and the individual’s place in society and the world.

The humanities do not offer certainties or straightforwardly ‘right’ answers but they do require students to respond to profound and important questions about things that really matter and will never date.

It's no surprise then that our graduates are popular with employers: the transferable skills humanities teach are well known and very much in demand.
