Study abroad
As part of your Liberal Arts degree, you will have the unique opportunity to study abroad for one year at one of our Liberal Arts partners. We have exclusive partnerships with specialist Liberal Arts programmes in both Europe and Canada:
- Concordia University (Montréal, Canada)
- University College Leiden (The Hague, Netherlands)
- Constructor University (Bremen, Germany)
- Leuphana University, (Lüneburg, Germany)
- University College Freiburg (Freiburg, Germany)
- Rikkyo University (Tokyo, Japan)
Class sizes
We believe that students learn best when doing hands-on activities in small groups. Modules in the Liberal Arts Department typically range from 5 to 20 students per class. Most of the core modules have approximately 10-20 students per class. The size of our classes is designed to create a close and supportive learning community, ideal for Problem-Based Learning.
Typical contact hours
Contact hours vary significantly depending on your route/pathway modules. A Liberal Arts student can typically expect between 8 and 12 contact hours a week, including route/pathway modules. You may have more than 12 hours, depending on your module choices. Module offerings in other departments may involve different contact hours per week.
Core Liberal Arts modules in the first and second year consist of one, two-hour workshop per week. Much of our teaching takes place over two terms. Most year-long modules have around 44 hours of teaching time each.
