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.
International Relations
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 undergraduate programme in International Relations offers you an academic perspective on the liaison between countries, and how bureaucratic decisions by hegemonic countries and the intervening action of administrative boards, state officials and elected representatives create a complex web of intercountry relations. During the course we will provide you with a coherent and clear image of how Western, European and Non-European countries coalesce, ranging from topics such as understanding foreign policy of USA and international economics, to international relations since 1919 and conflict resolution, to name a few. We also encourage you to participate in our Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe a multicultural perspective will provide a holistic academic journey.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
The communication and academic skills programme complements students’ main course of study. It introduces them to writing and presenting as situated within academic contexts sensitive to specific disciplines and develops their competences for future careers.
