There are no set pathways. Our dedicated Liberal Arts team will help you build a programme that fits your interests. Core modules Our core modules:
  • help you connect your individual subjects
  • develop your abilities to cooperate to tackle complex problems
The modules look at some of the key issues facing society today such as migration, globalisation and sustainability. Using their varied knowledge, skills and approaches our students work in groups to develop innovative solutions to difficult questions. Community You'll be part of a distinct Liberal Arts community:
  • work together through group and project work and field trips
  • sharing experiences as part of the Liberal Arts Society
At the same time you'll be able to join in with your subject-specific societies and take advantage of all the other opportunities the university offers.

Modules

Year one - you will take two mandatory Liberal Arts modules Year two - choose at least two from four optional Liberal Arts modules Final year - choose at least two from four optional Liberal Arts modules You have such an extensive choice of subject modules that it is impossible to show them all on the prospectus. However, our individual approach means the Liberal Arts team will work with you personally to help you select the modules that meet your interests and ambitions across your whole degree. We'll start looking at options with you from when your results come out and your place is confirmed, in your first week at Nottingham and regularly every year throughout your degree. And if you have any questions at any point about modules available and selection you can always ask us. Due to timetable clashes there are restrictions on some module combinations. Some modules require you to have an existing qualification (for example, music performance). Some modules may require you to have studied other modules first (for example an interpreting module may require you to have completed a language module beforehand). If you successfully complete Modern Language and Cultures language modules in years one and two you may be able to spend your third year abroad. This will be in a country where the language you've studied is the main one. You will then return and complete a fourth year in Nottingham where the usual Liberal Arts year three structure will apply.
