DETAILS
The School of Liberal Studies (SoLS) offers one-of-a-kind transdisciplinary learning and field-based training in disciplines across the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics.
SoLS offers the following Four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP) as options for dual majors leading to a BA/BSc research honours degree in Liberal Studies:
- Applied Mathematics
- Applied Statistics
- Economics with Data Science
- History
- Literature
- Political Science
- Psychology and Behaviour
- Sociology
Example: A BSc in Liberal Studies with a double major in Psychology and Behaviour, and Economics with Data Science, could be beneficial not just for those keen on pursuing an MBA in HR or Finance, but also for those interested in financial markets and human behaviour. A BSc. in Liberal Studies, with a major in Economics Data Science, and History, could become a joint major programme geared towards understanding the evolving nature of societies and economic systems and applying their knowledge and training in policy paradigms. Similarly, B.Sc. in Liberal Studies, with a major in Psychology and Behaviour, and Political Science, could help unravel demographic and social changes influencing individual behaviour. The possibilities are endless.
Psychology and Behaviour
The BA/B.Sc. in sychology and Behaviour course is specially designed to develop scientific, analytical, and reflective rigour and facilitates the learner to become an independent researcher and an evidence-based practitioner in the field of Psychology. Teaching is provided through a combination of lectures, seminars or workshops. Some papers have a practical component and take place in the psychology laboratory.
Teaching takes place through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, laboratory work and fieldwork. In addition to regular classes, masterclasses by distinguished national and international professors and subject-matter experts are organised to facilitate exchange of current research in the field. Hence, students get the opportunity to learn from the best from across the world.
