Discover the possibilities
Humanities subjects provide a rich understanding of people, culture, and society.
In Education, you’ll explore how individuals learn, how teaching can inspire change, and how inclusive approaches shape better futures.
English develops creativity, critical thinking, and communication through the study of language, literature, and diverse voices from around the world.
History investigates the forces, events and individuals that have shaped societies, encouraging you to analyse evidence, debate perspectives, and understand how the past informs today’s world.
Sociology examines social structures, relationships, and inequalities, helping you explore how culture, identity and power influence everyday life.
These subjects deepen your insight into human experience- how people learn, express themselves, and interact within complex societies. They will help you to develop analytical, reflective and communication skills valued across education, research, culture, and social policy, preparing you to make meaningful contributions to communities and global understanding.

Say hello to Emily
Emily shares how real work placements and hands-on experience helped launch her career after studying History.
History sets you up for the new, modern world, with skills that will allow you to be aware of your surroundings, the context of situations, and the skills to communicate necessary information.
The Spanish programme doesn’t merely teach a language; it opens doors to careers and opportunities that would otherwise remain inaccessible. I have many connections I wouldn’t have had without the language and cultural knowledge I gained with this programme.
