The School of Humanities is devoted to critical and creative thought through the study of what makes us uniquely human. The way we think and communicate, the objects we make and enjoy, our investment in events and institutions, our cultural practices and social values - all these things constitute the subject of our teaching and research.
Our programmes teach you to ‘read’ the world we make, whether in the past or the present or across different cultures: the aim is not so much to collect data about this world as to tease out its underlying values through the in-depth study of , say, a Hong Kong film, a Beethoven score, a Song Dynasty painting, a text by Aristotle , or even an everyday conversation.
