To be successful in the Bachelor of Arts and Social Studies Program, students need to master a wide range of topics and develop interdisciplinary thinking skills. Since the program adopts an approach that crosses the boundaries between the arts and social sciences, students are expected to produce innovative ideas by combining knowledge and theories from different disciplines. For this reason, students are encouraged to participate in as many different art activities as possible and to actively participate in various social sciences seminars and workshops. Such participation provides opportunities to integrate theoretical knowledge with practice and gain new perspectives.
The program aims to maximize students' independent study skills and their capacity for critical thinking. Therefore, students are advised to read regularly, participate in discussions and express their ideas through academic writing. In particular, keeping abreast of current debates in the social sciences and innovations in the world of art allows students to keep their knowledge up to date and be more effective in class discussions.
Moreover, the program is highly intensive and emphasizes time management skills. Students are advised to establish study routines, set realistic timelines for assignments and projects, and manage their academic commitments in a balanced way. Effective time management is especially critical when linking multiple disciplines and developing large-scale projects.
Another challenge of the program is the need for continuous development of creative thinking and artistic expression skills. Students are encouraged to explore and develop their own artistic talents outside the classroom. This can take the form of experimenting with art materials, studying different art forms or participating in art-related community projects. Art can serve students both as a means of personal expression and as a platform for social criticism.
Finally, students participating or considering participating in the Arts and Social Studies Programs are encouraged to develop a clear and realistic vision of their career goals and interests. The program opens the door to a wide variety of career paths, but students need to be proactive in exploring these paths and shaping their own futures. Regular contact with academic advisors and career services can be an important support in this process.
