“Studying Arts and Social Sciences
opens the minds of students to
become global citizens. It helps
them to identify and critique social
inequalities, dominant discourses in
the media, power imbalances and
misrepresentations in political
institutions. We train them in
analytical and critical thinking, help
them to communicate effectively
and work in teams in order to offer
solutions for some of the key
cultural, social and political issues
facing the world today.”
