Bachelor of Arts (BA Oriental Languages)

B.A Oriental Languages (BAOL) - Students interested in this course might also like to consider Classics, Modern Languages, Theology and Religion or History of Art. Among subjects in the humanities, Oriental Studies is unique in introducing students to civilisations that are radically different from the Western ones that form the basis of the curriculum in most British schools and colleges. The courses present both the major traditions of the regions studied and, in most cases, their modern developments. All courses include language, literature, history and culture, and there is a wide range of options in such fields as art and archaeology, history, literature, philosophy, religion and modern social studies.
