Employing the arts module

Work as a team to solve a real-life business issue.

Did you know - doing an arts and humanities degree means you’ll gain the skills which are essential for changing the world we live in? 

Not only that, you are uniquely positioned to understand people, processes and culture, all of which are valuable skills for the jobs market.

This module gives you the opportunity to use your skills and knowledge to solve a real-life business issue. It is open to all second-year undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts.

What you'll do

You will apply your knowledge to solve a real-world problem. The aim is for you to develop your understanding of your degree, and the range of careers open to you.

How it works

You will work in an interdisciplinary team on a project connected to impact,
which we define as our ability to ‘make change happen’.

These projects have been designed by individuals, groups and organisations that are looking to make a difference to our world. This might be about sustainability, business, equality, culture, politics or society.

Teams will be given a project brief. You will then be guided through how to shape a project, and how to work as a team and deliver results.

What skills will I gain?

This module will give you the employment skills and experience to show how you can make an impact as an arts and humanities graduate. You will also gain skills in:

  • analysis
  • problem solving
  • creativity and creative thinking
  • communication 
  • teamwork
