About Humanities Joint Honours degrees
Choosing just one subject to study at university can be a challenge! If you’re stuck weighing up different subjects, a joint honours course could be the ideal solution,

Create your degree from a range of humanities subjects, from classics such as English and History, to Communications and Film & TV. They’re an informed mix of academic grounding and elements of professional skills development - including work placement, company projects or volunteering.
You’ll be joining a passionate community of students, historians, linguists, poets, writers, researchers and seasoned industry experts – a truly creative hub of shared learning and experience.
