Welcome to the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies

Welcome Message from the Dean

The College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies welcomes students in languages, literature and philosophy, as well as in the historical, legal, social, behavioural and mathematical sciences. We work to enable students to have confidence in innovative and creative forms of thought, to assess evidence and probabilities and to develop informed critical judgment. Communication, learning to write and speak persuasively, is central to the Humanities. The College is the largest in the University, with some 7,000 students in taught programmes and in research. Students find themselves in a cosmopolitan community, with one student in four arriving from overseas. The College welcomes also many mature students and life-long learners. Potential students should have a strong appetite for reading, argument, and analysis, and be eager to explore different kinds of knowledge, to consider the informed published views of others, and finally to articulate and defend their own opinions and judgment.

Dr. Edward Herring, Dean of Arts
