Hi,
I'm looking at applying for the liberal arts course at Exeter and KCL, and then the combined honours course at Newcastle (they let you do three subjects so seems equivalent to liberal arts). I'm also thinking about St Andrews because you can study three subjects in the first two years.

How about you?

Is anybody else applying to study Liberal Arts in 2015? If so, what universities are you planning on applying to? I can't seem to find many people applying for this course. :~)

I was applying for liberal arts at Exeter, UEA and RHUL, however today the course at UEA has gone missing. I can't find it anywhere which is worrying. :s

I'm hoping it's just temporary. They can't cancel a course at this time can they? Surely there would be some notice!! I've looked at Kings and it seems great but I don't think I'd get in :frown:

That's reassuring. I'm applying for KCL with A*AB so fingers crossed!
I'm applying to Liberal Arts at Kings and Exeter and then Combined Honours in Arts at Durham (and joint honours in History/Politics at other two)
Really anxious about applying for such a new/rare degree ahhhhhh!!!
I'm applying for liberal arts + sciences at UCL and Birmingham, HSPS at Cambridge and Liberal arts at KCL and Bristol (already got a rejection from Bristol w/ A*A*A predicted which has me worried ngl)

Haha, hoping it was a fluke! Dont worry it was probably my personal statement or something? I've applied to Kings too so i'm trusting you when you say they're generous :wink:
Have you applied yet? If so have you been sent the instructions from kings for you extra personal statement?
I'm worried b/c my extra ps has to be in by Friday (2 weeks after i applied) but they've not sent me the instructions as promised and not replied to any of my messages, freaking a bit!

Because we recognise that you may also be applying through UCAS to single or combined honours programmes, applicants to Liberal Arts are asked to submit an extra personal statement. This should be uploaded to themyApplication system within two weeks of submitting your application. You will receive instructions on what to include and how to upload your personal statement in a separate message which will be sent shortly.

Please note: your application cannot be considered unless you submit the additional statement within two weeks of submitting your application.

Whaaatttt
Kings needs to get their **** together, but maybe our ps's are fine just the way they are? In that case they could at least inform us?
Agh
