Degrees that span Arts and Science

Does anyone have suggestions of degrees where you can combine Arts and Science? Apart from Joint Honours or Liberal Arts or similar. DD is aware of Architecture, Games Design, Graphic Design - various kinds of Design frankly, Medical Illustration. Recently Linguistics has come up as an idea and we see that for some courses Maths, Science, English Lang and MFL are all seen as useful.
Obviously you can do lots of degrees having studied a mixture of A Levels, but what can you do that carries that combination on?

Sociology? It can be a BA or a BSc depending on the course

My Maths degree gave me the choice of being awarded a BA or a BSc (I chose the BSc, but it was a close thing).

Archeology and anthropology

I was about to suggest linguistics! My daughter is doing German and Linguistics, and it makes for a very broad course!

Speech and Language Therapy / Language Sciences

Art conservation?

Economics has aspects that are more like studying science (can be very mathematical) but also aspects that require much broader reading and essay writing and are more like studying an Arts/Humanities subject. Also Pyschology?

Geography

Economics.
Media production.
Some fields of engineering?
Product design.

drwitch · 25/03/2022 16:02

second economics, perhaps something like History and Economics would work?

Itsunlikely · 25/03/2022 16:04

Art Conservation sounds absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately manual skills aren't that good.

Geography? Physical geography is much more sciencey than at A-Level, whilst Human geography is more like sociology. Most unis will allow you to choose modules so you get a mix of both.

Archaeology
Psychology
Economics

SpaghettiNotCourgetti · 25/03/2022 19:10

I thought Linguistics first, too. But that might be because I studied it, and I did so exactly because it's a mixture of science and arts!

Forshorttheycallmecomp · 25/03/2022 19:10

Geography and Archaeology. Psychology, to an extent as well - at least the approaches to learning can be one way or another.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/03/2022 19:12

Geography can be a BA or BSc, with elements of each in both

WhyOhWine · 25/03/2022 19:13

human science at oxford
HSPS or land economy at Cambridge
And equivalents obviously

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/03/2022 19:14

Architecture

WhyOhWine · 25/03/2022 19:16

I did a law degree with A-levels in Maths, a science and 2 humanities and i found it helpful to have done both types of a-levels. Not sure i would really describe it as being in any sense science , but definitely logic and problem solving

PermanentTemporary · 25/03/2022 19:20

Psychology.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 25/03/2022 19:21

Psychology. 1
Wish I'd done it instead of biology
