Courses

The Arts and Humanities area is well serviced by the postgraduate sector. Postgraduate courses are available in all of the traditional areas like history and literature, as well as more modern fields such as Social Aspects of Visual Media and Semiotics. Subjects such as Contemporary Languages and Heritage Studies are becoming increasingly relevant as we forge closer ties with Europe and the rest of the world.
