Humanities

Small seminar groups

You'll develop your critical skills through lively seminars where you can present arguments and voice your intellectual concerns. We teach in small groups to help you become an accomplished presenter, debater and listener. Seminars are student-led, so you develop the skills necessary to manage discussions.

Tailor your degree

Humanities students select a two-year developmental pathway that features three courses, each of which addresses a range of key themes, concepts, ideas, histories, theories and topics.

Learn outside the classroom

You'll have the opportunity to join the student-run Philosophy Society, which hosts speakers from high-profile organisations such as Amnesty International. You'll also be able to publish your work in student publications, sharing your ideas with students and staff across the university.

Philosophy Society 

PhilSoc is a student-run society that hosts talks by well known academics from across the country, about subjects ranging from philosophy to social sciences.
