About the School of Arts and Humanities
The School of Arts and Humanities comprises three departments: Journalism and Media; Humanities; and the Nottingham Institute of Languages and Intercultural Communication.
We provide exceptional facilities, an outstanding research reputation, and professional connections all around the world. We’re proud to deliver a wide-ranging suite of innovative humanities degrees — ensuring our students’ learning is applied, and not just theoretical.
From poetry slams and hands-on heritage projects to broadcast studios and newsrooms, we bring our subjects out of the lecture hall, and into the real world.
