You could also study english language or literature, history, drama, american history or art history or a combination. You could take a degree or double degrees in interdisciplinary human studies, combining philosophy with psychology, sociology and literature, or you could study creative writing or drama or even a combination with law, engineering, business etc. There are also interdisciplinary courses that focus on particular geographic regions, for example australian studies, british studies, african studies, east asian studies and latin american studies.
