The Arts and Sciences undergraduate degree at the University College London is an interdisciplinary course launched in 2012 and is at the forefront of the new wave of liberal arts and sciences degrees in the UK. The course allows students to create their own bespoke programme incorporating both arts and science subjects and study innovative core modules to enhance the link between disciplines. Students study modules across the breadth of UCL's world-class expertise and achieve the depth of knowledge needed to thrive in a global society.  

The Politics and International Relations BSc is designed for students who are passionate about politics and who want to look in-depth behind the headlines to understand the forces shaping today's world. The degree empowers students to assess some of the most pressing challenges of our time, both domestically and globally.  In this course, students learn from world-leading experts in politics and international relations in the UCL Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy. Moreover, students also develop a portfolio of skills in how to undertake research; analyse data; argue persuasively and communicate effectively, valued by employers in both the public and private sectors. 

Creative Arts and Humanities is an interdisciplinary degree course that will enable students to develop both their creative and critical skills, focusing on the role of narrative across three forms of creative practice: Writing, Moving Image, and Performance. Students benefit from world-class research across the arts and humanities at UCL, ranked 5th in the world for these disciplines (THE World University Rankings 2022 by subject), as well as from creative practitioners working in different fields. 

UCL was the first university in England to teach English at the undergraduate level, and since then the English Department's courses have evolved to reflect the twin virtues of breadth and depth. The Department of English Language and Literature at UCL is one of the most enduring and respected in Britain and is perfectly suited for students wishing to immerse themselves in a highly regarded and varied syllabus that combines traditional literary skills and modern thought. Department staff demonstrate a wide breadth of expertise across many literary periods and topics, as well as in language, both its history and its modern forms.
