Degree Overview
Our BA Liberal Arts allows you to create your own degree programme from a wide range of options in Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts that cover six major themes: Social Justice and Identity Politics and International Relations Literature and Language Religions and Philosophy History and Heritage Media and Creative Industries. This structure balances breadth and depth, and offers flexibility while ensuring you develop research expertise in your own area of interest. In years 2 and 3, students opt for a curriculum that is unique to them by choosing optional modules from two or more of the six pathways above. We’ll work with you to help you build a course that reflects what matters to you. The programme will equip Roehampton's Liberal Arts graduates with an impressive toolkit of worldliness, knowledge and skills that will be attractive to employers, and offer excellent career prospects. On this degree you will have access to many opportunities for work experience through our Careers Team, and access to face-to-face and 24/7 online careers support, whether you choose to live on campus or commute to us. The course also offers the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost your CV even further.
Study Reasons
- The Liberal Arts graduate will be highly employable in any sector from government and public sectors to education, media, volunteering/NGO sector, and the corporate sector.
- Employability skills are embedded in the programme. It offers the opportunity for a year long work placement, the opportunity to spend a term abroad, and the opportunity to undertake a final year project module which builds from the previous year's placement. Our 'authentic assessment' approach allows students to graduate with a portfolio which may include websites, blogs, video-essays, policy reports, reviews – all of which will display critical thinking, communication skills and analytical argument. The portfolio will be a valuable item in a graduate's job hunting toolkit.
- Our careers team is available to support you from the start of your studies until after you graduate. They will help you build your CV, prepare for interviews, and meet and learn from successful graduates working at the top of their careers. You’ll also have opportunities to work with our partners across London and beyond, and to attend a Roehampton jobs fair where you can find out about graduate opportunities and meet employers.
