Branch programme/details

The Bachelor program Liberal Arts and Humanities is a study program in humanities focused on philosophy, history, and cultural and social anthropology. The program's significant feature is a widely open study schedule that allows students to pursue their individual abilities and develop their interests. The students take compulsory courses in humanities and social sciences and pass comprehensive exams relevant to each field. By choosing other elective courses during their studies, students can gradually specialize and focus either on further (Master) studies in any of the relative theoretical fields, or on the practical use of the acquired skills.

The study program is carried out without specialization.
