Liberal Arts
Combine in-depth study of a discipline while exploring other subjects, gaining a rich education in the meaning and importance of the arts and humanities in this challenging and rewarding degree.
Why study Liberal Arts at Bristol? The Faculty of Arts at Bristol is home to researchers who are committed to the ideals of liberal education. It is a place where an interdisciplinary outlook comes naturally and is practised on a daily basis.
You will be encouraged and expected to take responsibility for your own curriculum, making connections between units and incorporating into your studies all the activities and opportunities available in the rich cultural life of both the University and the city.
You can choose to do either a BA or an integrated master’s degree (MLibArts), each of which has its own advantages. You may apply for either degree and decide at the beginning of your second year which route you would like to follow. In year one, you will have flexibility of choice to discover new subjects.

BA Liberal Arts A-levels AAA (ABB†
) IB 36 (32† )
In years one and two of our Liberal Arts course, you will take a combination of bespoke core units and a choice of optional units from the full range of disciplines offered in the Faculty of Arts.
The core units address foundational issues in the arts and humanities and teach crucial skills in analysis and communication that will be valuable to you throughout your degree and beyond.
You will take a numeracy and a language unit during the first two years, as well as embarking on your specialist subject pathway. At least a quarter of your studies will be devoted to your subject pathway. This may be one of the disciplines taught by a department in the Faculty of Arts, or a cross-departmental pathway in medieval studies or film studies.
The final year includes a dissertation and a unit that provides opportunities for working with organisations outside the University.
MLibArts Liberal Arts with Study Abroad A-levels AAA (ABB†
) IB 36 (32† )
The first two years of the MLibArts course are identical to the BA Liberal Arts and include core units, a numeracy unit and a language unit, as well as optional units.

This may be one of the disciplines taught by a department in the Faculty of Arts or a cross- departmental pathway in medieval studies or film studies.
A special feature of the MLibArts is the opportunity to spend your third year studying abroad at one of the prestigious universities around the world with which the University of Bristol has an exchange agreement.
In your fourth year, you move on to Master’s level work. This final year includes a dissertation, units in your subject pathway and other options chosen from across the faculty.
