Liberal Arts

About the course

Liberal Arts at Sussex is an evolution of the arts, humanities and social sciences into a new kind of degree. If you want to study the subjects you enjoy with focus and direction, and if you want a hands-on degree that will help you make a difference in the world, this BA is for you.

During your studies, you’ll:

- experience the world from multiple perspectives

- engage with big ideas and real-life challenges

- develop life, work and creative skills

- work with industrial partners and get involved with the community

- take electives from other subjects – from business to law and modern languages – to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests.

How can we spot fake news? What is the future of democracy? How do we tackle climate change? Our goal is to empower you – the next generation of communicators, creators and culture-shapers – to find solutions to complex questions and global challenges, thinking across disciplinary boundaries. That’s why we teach all our modules using expertise from a wide range of subjects at Sussex. We bring different kinds of knowledge into the room to address issues that affect us all.

You’ll graduate with a multitude of passions, experiences, interests and skills – and a qualification for the future.
