At School of Liberal Arts, you will have the chance to study a broad range of subjects; some of them you may have studied in school, some will be new to you. At one end of the spectrum are subjects you might consider 'arts' subjects like Sociology, at the other end you will find Economics and related subjects; some subjects have a direct vocational or professional link, like law or actuarial science. All are a useful intellectual training in different approaches to social questions.

The School offers a unique opportunity to study the social sciences in a university institution with a worldwide academic reputation, while enjoying the cultural, social and recreational facilities of one of the world's great Hill City. Many influential developments in thinking about society, economics and politics have originated in work carried out at the School, including the basis of the modern welfare state and the development of free-market economics.
