Arts
It's all about courses...
Want to study the really meaningful things?
Life's wonders, memories, struggles, and complexities don't just describe humanity – they define it. They encapsulate where we've been, where we are, and where we're going.
Most importantly, they tell us who we are. Arts is the lifelong study of all things meaningful. Unlike any other field of study, it gives you the ability to penetrate society's constructions, to learn from our past, and to devise a way forward. Through the meaningful analysis of life's overarching subtleties, it brings value to our lives and endows us with the ability to appreciate that value.
Arts allows us to engage with the ordinary and the extraordinary meanings that create our social worlds; its topics of study are practical and theoretical.

It's all about our students...
Here's proof...
Practice makes perfect:
The University has recently awarded a grant to the School of Humanities and Languages to fund a project that allows UWS Language and Interpreting and Translation students to work with the local Maltese Language School (MLA). The project culminates in a community event dealing with Maltese language in the Diaspora. Students involved in the project will get the opportunity to enrich the MLA's community role, and will get the chance to use their language and linguistics knowledge in an authentic context.
The project, and others like it across the Arts, Humanities and Languages areas of study, is part of an innovative new unit called 'Learning Through Community Service'. The aim of this unit is to provide students with the opportunity to exercise the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom in a practical community setting. The unit also provides effective problem solving strategies for the community organisations involved, building lasting relationships with the University, and potential career opportunities for students.
