The Bachelor's Program in Arts and Social Sciences is an interdisciplinary program that offers students a broad perspective in the arts, culture and social sciences. The aim of the program is to bring together the various disciplines of the arts and social sciences and to provide students with the skills of critical thinking, analysis and creative expression in these fields. The program integrates social sciences such as history, sociology, anthropology and psychology with the arts such as visual arts, music and theater. In this way, students learn to analyze and interpret social events in an artistic context.
The academic content usually includes basic theory courses, practical workshops and projects. Students deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge of artistic production and social science research. In general, the program provides students with the opportunity to develop research methodologies, critical thinking techniques and artistic approaches to social issues. Courses are designed to include both classroom discussions and fieldwork so that students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts.
Teaching methods include lectures, group work, seminars, workshops and interactive sessions with guest speakers. This diversity develops students' ability to work both independently and in teams. Academic books, artistic products, multimedia tools and various digital resources are used as teaching materials.
As for career opportunities, graduates can pursue careers in a variety of fields. They can work as curators or educators in museums and art galleries, as cultural policy analysts or consultants in the public and private sectors. There is also the possibility to pursue master's and doctoral programs for those considering an academic career. Social work, public health, education and media sectors are also among the potential job fields for graduates of this program.
Internships and practicum opportunities offer students the opportunity to meet professionals in the field and gain real work experience. Many universities organize internship programs in collaboration with local arts institutions, community centers and international organizations. Such practices allow students to build an important network that helps them find a job after graduation and to learn about current practices in the sector.
