Study environment
Teaching
You will attend regular lectures, seminars, and training workshops that support your learning. Emphasis is given to student-driven learning involving collaboration, reflection, experience sharing, and project-related tasks. Students can choose elective courses and pursue a topic for research linked to their interests and future career aspirations. They can also undertake fieldwork in a country of their choice. The program is interdisciplinary in that courses draw on and critically engage with diverse methodologies and theoretical ideas from across social science disciplines. Both students and lecturers have different disciplinary backgrounds. Students' critical and analytical inputs are important. All courses include students of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
