Undergraduate Prospectus 2013 - University of Winchester

emily fisher
BA Modern Liberal Arts
Emily Fisher from Cambridge is in Year 2,
studying Modern Liberal Arts. Having started
a Fine Arts degree in London, she decided to
take an alternative path.
“I researched lots of courses and Modern
Liberal Arts caught my eye – it appealed to
me as you examined a range of subject areas
including art. I also liked Winchester; the
University was friendly and the city seemed
similar to Cambridge with its architecture
and history.
“The course allows you to explore topics you
can easily relate to – one of our assignments
examined our personal musical tastes in the
context of philosophers’ views on music.
I love listening to and playing music so it was
really interesting to see how this fell within
the boundaries of what they considered
acceptable.
“My lecturers really bring the course to
life – they are incredibly passionate about
the subject, inspiring you to look at ideas
and concepts in a fresh way. Something you
may not have originally thought interesting
suddenly has a new eye-opening perspective.
“In the future I could see myself using my
experience at Winchester and combining it
with my love of art, perhaps working in a
gallery or museum. Modern Liberal Arts gives
you a great grounding and has increased my
confidence in so many areas that I feel well
prepared for whatever career path I choose.”
