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 offers a range of study-units central to the study of Psychology.
