Bath Uni - impact of not having arts and humanity subjects

[CrikeyDozes]

Bath only really provides degrees in engineering, sciences, business, language and social science. No history, English, religion or philosophy etc etc

My child has an offer to study politics and loves the course and liked the open day but is worried that the student body is mainly scientists and business etc and that this may impact the whole student culture. I’m not sure quite what the worry is but this is becoming a big deal in their mind. They also think politics might be taught in a scientific and data driven way.

So does anyone who knows Bath see a different student body culture to other more balanced universities? Is everyone very literal and practical? Are there active societies in areas like drama or literature? Are there more boys than girls? Are the social sciences taught with a particularly scientific spin?

any insight appreciated.

Also I would add that just because DD went there to study Politics doesn't mean she has no interests in other subjects. English Lit and History were her other A-Levels which tie in so well with Politics that when we were doing her study cards I couldn't tell which subject she was revising. She is member of the Literary Society there and also writes pieces for the Student Magazine Bath Time, writing is her big passion and she hopes to tie in Politics with it as a career.
