Newcastle do a general combined honours, I don't think its arts/social science specific.

hmm i went to warwick's website i don't see any flexible combined honours programme...
No, but you can combine a hell of a lot of things as degree programmes, there's just not 'Combined Honours in Arts/Social Sciences' etc.
Brum has a load of JH courses which have modular options in the third year (at least on the one I'm taking):

"Birmingham offers around 150 different Joint Honours combinations – a range that is virtually unrivalled elsewhere in the United Kingdom."

stafford do lots of combined honours courses.
Lancaster, but they aren't advertised as combined honours.
Example:
If you done a Bsc in Psychology you do 1/3 of Psychology modules then you get to choose 2 other subjects for the other 2/3s of your degree like Sociology and Maths etc. I think the only subject you cant do this with is Law but all the rest work in the same way. Some courses like Accounting (I think) only let you do 1/3 of random options and the other 2/3s need to be Accounting but thats only because of exemption purposes and those that haven't done A level Maths need to take some options in Maths but you probably aren't interested in that anyway

Aston and most places in Scotland.

oh do you mean joint degrees like say 'law and sociology', 'history and philosophy', 'philo with psychology' etc?
Presumably yes, joint honours and not combined honours.

Again, joint honours and not combined honours.

Again, I can only see JH and not combined. Maybe I'm not looking well enough.
So apart from Durham, Exeter, Newcastle, Oxford Brookes and possibly St Andrews I think Bradford, Brighton do a general "Humanities" course, University of Central Lancashire, Coventry, Glamorgan, Glasgow do general humanities, Heriot-Watt, Lampeter, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester (with foundation), Nottingham and Westminster.
I only know those extra ones from a UCAS search, can't comment on the courses.
At any Scottish university the first 2 years are essentially running on the principle of "combined honours" i.e. taking any courses you like providing you take something continually through the 2 years. Following which you take either a single or joint degree at honours level so it's not particularly what you're looking for but possibly something to take into consideration...
Dundee... my friend is doing English and Psychology

What's the difference between 'joint' and 'combined' honours then? 
Joint honours is doing subject A and subject B. Combined honours is doing lots of modules combining different subjects within one broad topic, usually humanities.
Joint honours is a degree course consisted of two subjects studied in equal depth throughout your degree eg. Philosophy and politics, english and psychology.
Combined honours is a very broad programme across that arts, social sciences and/or sciences.
Rules vary but you generally study two, three or four subjects a year, taking a couple of modules from each subject.
You don't graduate with a joint degree in two subjects but just a degree in "combined honours" or "combined studies".
There is! The OP never even said "joint" but "combined".

Yeah, see this is what I'd call joint honours, and what I suggested...but River is saying there's a difference between this and what the OP wants
