Overview
A degree in liberal arts provides ample career opportunities, graduates can be found in nearly all industries and professions thanks to the transferable skills this education ensures. At the University Pécs you may study Liberal Arts, a multidisciplinary program providing you with a wide choice of humanities-related majors. The flexible curriculum enables you to create a degree programme that suits your own interests.
In the Western cultural tradition liberal arts education has always been the ultimate mark of an educated person, and still today it provides a comprehensive education in the humanities with the foundation knowledge to enter a number of careers in cultural life, education, and government, or to go straight into graduate study in any subject of humanities. The core aim of the curriculum is to develop well-rounded individuals with general knowledge of a wide range of subjects and with mastery of a range of transferable skills. It is designed to enable students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, effective oral and written communication skills, and a sense of social responsibility. You will be taught in small, interactive seminar groups, encouraging discussion and debate with teaching staff and fellow students.
You will study a combination of required and optional modules, and choose a subject in which you will major, so no two Liberal Arts students have exactly the same programme. The programme offers you outstanding flexibility, balancing breadth of knowledge across disciplines with the opportunity for in-depth study in a field of your choice. The programme is structured with a system of major – a package of 80 study credits – and minor – 50 study credits to be chosen among the other liberal arts fields – and with required core courses.
