As a humanities student, you'll explore languages, literature and philosophy. You'll learn how people have created the world and how they, in turn, are created by it. You can immerse yourself in the study of old and new global cultures. And you'll explore the complexities, contradictions and beauty of the world around you.
Apply to UVic as an Area Undecided student if you're interested in the humanities, but aren't ready to pick a program. You can use your first year to decide on a direction for your studies and have flexibility in what classes you can take, then declare your program when you're ready.
