School of Global Humanities
We’re taking a fresh approach to the arts and humanities at Cardiff University. Join us to explore global cultures, ideas, values and experiences – and discover how diversity helps us better understand what it means to be human.
Courses
We have over 200 courses available to choose from and a range of ways to tailor each course so that it’s perfect for you.
Our new School will be driven by the fantastic, impactful research we do and foster collaboration across our disciplines. Our graduates will be future leaders who shape a more compassionate world through cross-cultural understanding, critical thinking and global citizenship.

The School of Global Humanities brings together a broad range of topics and degree programmes, housed within the following themes:
- History, Archaeology and Heritage

We’ll explore untapped connections between the disciplines we offer and create a more vibrant, creative and diverse student community.
Our ambition is that graduates from the School of Global Humanities will be equipped to understand their potential contribution to the world. Our focus is on educating change-makers who are passionate about their fields, and graduate with the ability to make a difference to the world we live in.
