PROGRAM ARCHITECTURE

In the first two years students undertake an interdisciplinary education that nurtures talent and a broad exposure to a variety of fields. Student take a range of courses across four major categories. Core courses offer a sampling of the seven major Liberal Arts fields of study. Enablers supplement their academic, creative and career-related skills. Creatives allow students to explore their extra-curricular interests. Projects involve experiential learning and research or seminar style activities where students critically examine the world around them using tools and methods derived from a range of fields.

The third year is dedicated to a more focused career-aligned specialization. We also encourage internships and international exposure to all students.

Foundations across varied disciplines in the first two years (four semesters)

Skills-based workshops across three years

Choice-based specialization and electives only in the third year

Field work, site visits, internships between semesters

Please note, we do not offer admission for specific subjects (e.g. BA Psychology). All enrolled students go through a common program with foundation courses in all disciplines in the first 2 years and students choose their specialization only in the final year. Possible specializations include Literature, History, Political Science, Sociology, Media Studies, Economics and Psychology.
