Why study this program?
This program enables students to directly engage the world they live in through the study of politics, history, philosophy and world religion. It asks students to examine why things have happened as they have, and to gauge the possibilities for change. The program does not shy away from complex problems but seeks to understand them in multiple contexts. It prepares students for a life beyond university studies, making them adaptable to various work environments, and ensuring a life-long commitment to engaging the world around them.
