Course overview
The Department of Arts and Humanities at MAHE, Dubai offers a carefully curated BA (Humanities) programme that inculcates varied critical and creative skills across three years (six semesters).
The first two years (four semesters) of the programme offer a wide range of Foundation Courses for a strong grounding in fundamental concepts. Foundation Courses are offered from the following disciplines:
· Literature
· Psychology
· Philosophy
· Sociology
· History
· Film Studies
· Gender Studies.
Electives in the final year of the programme give students the option of a Major in English, Philosophy, Sociology or History. The programme culminates with a research project and the writing of a thesis on a topic of your choice, with faculty guidance.
The subject faculty includes experts in all the major humanities subjects and students will join a critical environment with frequent guest lecturers – academics, researchers, journalists and writers – from different parts of the world.
This degree provides a solid foundation for further postgraduate study or research careers. Graduates of BA Humanities have taken up careers in the public sector, NGOs, teaching, journalism, publishing and management.
