We are excited to announce the return of the King's College Small Subjects Residential!
This residential is aimed at students in Y12/S5 who are interested in the disciplines of:
- Archaeology
- Asian and Middle Eastern Studies
- Geography
- History of Art
- Linguistics
- Philosophy
- Theology
Participants in this residential will be given the opportunity, through independent research, academic sessions and group work with peers, to explore how a degree in these subject, might help them to contribute to the process of providing answers to the big questions of the future. The 2024 residential will focus on the theme of Freedom, and how this can be interpreted through the lenses of these different subjects.
The residential will combine a series of workshops, and group activities, that will:
(1) demonstrate the variety of careers to which a degree in these ‘small subjects’ can lead, helping to show that one can do more with a History of Art, AMES (etc) degree than become a teacher of these subjects;
(2) demonstrate these apparently niche disciplines are actually at the heart of some of the biggest contemporary issues of today; and
(3) demonstrate the value of inter-disciplinary work, and thus, the benefits that a University Education which provides opportunities for such work, can bring.
To be eligible for this residential, students must:
- Have an interest in inter-disciplinary study
- Be attending a UK state school
- Be in Year 12 (England and Wales), Year 13 (Northern Ireland), or S5 (Scotland)
