About us
"HaSS Cornwall is the home of unique and engaging interdisciplinary degree programmes that combine our research with our core subject expertise and teaching excellence. Our research, teaching, and impact are the product of collaborations across our department’s core disciplines (English Literature, History, Law, Modern Languages, Environmental Humanities, and Political Science), as well as with our colleagues across the University and businesses and communities across Cornwall.
Our priority is to design an academic experience that is sustainable for our students, staff, and the environment. We work to encourage and support active and inquiry-led learning, from students’ first day, through to professorial retirement. We are passionate and engaged educators, researchers and scholars who are proud of the diverse, supportive learning community we are working to build here, in collaboration with our staff, students, and partners.
Our teaching and research are internationally focused and internationally reaching, but we embed the living laboratory of history, heritage, language, law, and politics that is Cornwall into our work, to benefit from the uniqueness of the physical urban and rural environments in which we work and live. We aspire to become the textbook example of the civic faculty."
