Faculty of Arts & Human Sciences
Welcome from the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, Professor Nick Emler.
The Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences supports an active and dynamic intellectual environment generating work of international calibre, as recognised in successive Research Assessment Exercises (RAEs). Its well-earned reputation is reflected in worldwide connections with research and enterprise partners. As such it is an ideal setting for undergraduate and postgraduate study.
Covering a broad range of subjects across the arts, social sciences and human sciences, the Faculty has strengths in a variety of disciplines including: psychology; economics; sociology; communication; translation; linguistics; politics; dance and theatre studies; music; sound recording and English. In addition, the Faculty is home to the Department of Languages and Translation Studies, which offers a range of English language support courses to enable non-native speakers to improve their English
Our staff are leaders in their fields and are enthusiastic, motivated and committed to the highest standards of teaching and research. Much of the research carried out in the Faculty is of international acclaim, and all subject areas are very well positioned for the next Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) review in 2008.
