Applied Humanities – Online (BA – Accelerated degree)

• TBC

If you’d like some bespoke recommendations for preparing to begin your degree, or have any questions or concerns, please email us at apphum-online@newman.ac.uk.

In our first session, you’ll find our more about your degree, how it works and how we can help you build your studies around your interests, goals and commitments. We look forward to seeing you there!

You’ll be working with Sian Campbell and Emma Folwell, who bring a diverse blend of professional and academic experience to this interdisciplinary degree.

Our programme is based on concepts of lifelong and lifewide learning, and we value the professional, academic, and personal experiences you bring with you. Together, we’ll draw on these to enrich our discussions and explore new perspectives.

You’ll engage with your degree in three main ways:

Independent Study

Independent study is about lifewide learning: drawing on your work, family, and wider experiences as part of your degree. We recognise that learning doesn’t stop outside of university. This course values and builds on the experience you already bring.

Directed Activities

Each month, you’ll access new online materials through our virtual learning enivronment, designed to help you explore new ideas and develop your critical engagement with the world.

Coaching

Coaching gives you dedicated time with a member of the programme team to set goals and shape your learning around your personal and professional ambitions. You’ll have a 30-minute individual coaching session each month, plus an optional one-hour group session where you can connect with staff and peers.
