Course description
Course description
Combined Studies offers you a degree which allows you to study course units from Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and some Sciences. The degree is structured around a range of disciplines, and is therefore able to draw on a wide range of University Schools in order to make a wide selection of courses available to you. The structure of the degree is designed to provide both coherence and flexibility.
The Jewish Studies area of specialisation enables you to study courses from Middle Eastern Studies and Religions & Theology. A coherent programme of studies draws upon course units from Middle Eastern Studies, Religions & Theology and Archaeology. Whilst the programme will appeal to Jewish students in providing a unique insight and source of understanding of their own tradition, the course units are also taken by many non-Jewish students.
By including a Science in the Combined Studies programme you can combine the study of a science and non-science subject at degree level - there are few programmes in Britain that allow you this flexibility. Only one science may be studied and course units are often grouped in multiples of two or three. Sciences available within the degree include the Life Sciences, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Psychology.

Career opportunities
A degree in Combined Studies gives access to numerous possibilities for further study or training, and future employment: our students have become teachers, translators, journalists, social workers; have joined TV companies and multi-national firms; have entered, in fact, all the careers usually open to Arts and Social Science graduates. Many go on to postgraduate study.
In our experience many employers look favourably on students who have demonstrated their abilities in more than one field.
