Anthropology
Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
The programme in Anthropology will provide you with an intricate and wide academic understanding of the subject-matter. During your course of studies, you will learn about the social, cultural, biological and linguistic aspects that comprise anthropology. Your knowledge on these areas may also culminate into a research-based dissertation that you will carry out in your final year of your programme of study. By studying about the origin and contemporary standing of anthropology, you will be provided with a wide spectrum of facets that will contribute to a more holistic understanding, ranging from evolution and society, to psychoanalysis, migration and post-colonialism, to name a few. We will also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe that an international and multi-cultural experience will provide you with a more holistic learning outcome.

The programme of study in English will help you explore the history and modes of literature and language across time, dating from Ancient Greece to our contemporary life. During the course you will become knowledgeable of different writing styles and will learn about the complex theories and critical approaches towards literature. By studying about canonical and non-canonical writers, both British and non-British, we will help you broaden your literary and linguistic horizon as you come to a firmer understanding of how literature captures the politics, tribulations, arts and culture of the world by defamiliarizing and reconstructing it on page. You will also be encouraged to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic journey.
