Faculty of Arts and Humanities
Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. We are proud of our internationally recognised research excellence, our dynamic research culture and the stimulating and imaginative learning experiences we make possible for our students. We are fortunate to have a wonderful shared resource in the Humanities Research Centre housed in the award-winning Berrick Saul Building, and we value both the quest for excellence and our collegiate life in all we do.
In the last Research Excellence Framework, all of our faculty subject areas were ranked in the UK top 30. In the 2024 Times Higher World University rankings, the Faculty was placed 51st in the world. We hope you enjoy exploring our excellent individual departments and centres.
