  • 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 Languages study area enables you to study a Modern Language progressively over three years. In general, there is a balance between studying the language and reading the literature. You will spend at least eight weeks in a country where the language is widely spoken between the second and third years, or if you wish to devote half of your degree to the language you will spend a full year abroad.

    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.

    Special features

    Combine arts, social sciences and some sciences in a single degree programme.
    Wide range of courses available.
    Year Abroad for those who devote half their degree to a language.

    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.
