MAJORS

Public Policy & Governance is a future-oriented undergraduate programme designed to prepare students for leadership in government, policy institutions, and public service ecosystems. In an era defined by complex challenges-from economic inequality and climate change to digital transformation—effective governance requires both analytical insight and practical problem-solving.

This programme combines the conceptual foundations of political science, public administration, and development studies with applied training in policy design, implementation, and evaluation. Students learn how governments function, how policies are formulated, and how institutions respond to real-world challenges.
With a strong focus on evidence-based policymaking, the programme equips students with skills in data analysis, policy research, stakeholder engagement, and governance innovation. From understanding welfare schemes and regulatory frameworks to analysing global development models, students gain the tools to create policies that are both effective and equitable.

Where data meets economic thinking.

A degree that trains you to do two things most people can’t: understand how the world works, and prove it with data. Economics with specialisations in Data Sciences and Finance is built as one. The world runs on data. But data without context is just noise. That’s why this programme combines the reasoning and insight of Economics with the analytical power of Data Science – mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and AI.

You’ll learn to collect and process data, build economic models, identify patterns in markets and societies, and turn complex analysis into clear decisions. Whether you are interested in business, policy, research, or technology, this degree prepares you for all of it.

International Relations and Geopolitics as a major within a four-year BA Liberal Arts programme offers students a comprehensive understanding of global politics, strategic interactions, and the forces shaping the contemporary world order. The programme introduces key theoretical frameworks alongside the study of diplomacy, conflict, security, international organisations, and global governance. Students engage with issues such as power rivalries, regional dynamics, economic interdependence, climate politics, and emerging security challenges, including cyber warfare and terrorism. A strong emphasis is placed on the role of geography, history, and political narratives in influencing state behaviour and international outcomes. Through case studies, simulations, and research-based learning, students develop critical thinking, analytical writing, and policy evaluation skills. The major prepares graduates for careers in diplomacy, international organisations, strategic analysis, journalism, and public policy, as well as for advanced academic pursuits. Ultimately, it cultivates globally aware individuals capable of interpreting complex geopolitical developments and contributing thoughtfully to international discourse.

Political Science & AI Analytics is a future-ready undergraduate programme that brings together the analytical depth of political science with the transformative power of artificial intelligence. In a world increasingly shaped by data, algorithms, and digital governance, understanding politics is no longer enough—you must also understand how technology influences decision-making, public policy, elections, and global power structures.

This programme equips students to critically examine political systems while developing practical skills in data analytics, machine learning, and computational thinking. From predicting electoral outcomes and analysing public opinion to understanding algorithmic bias and digital surveillance, students gain the ability to interpret and shape the political realities of the 21st century.

Blending theory with application, the programme fosters interdisciplinary learning, combining political theory, international relations, public policy, and governance with coding, data visualisation, and AI-driven analytics. Graduates emerge not just as political thinkers but as strategic analysts capable of navigating complex, data-driven environments.

English and Media Studies is a contemporary undergraduate programme designed to prepare students for careers in media, communication, publishing, and cultural industries. In a world shaped by digital transformation, storytelling, and information flows, understanding both literary traditions and modern media is essential.

This programme integrates the study of English literature with media studies, communication theory, and digital culture. Students explore how narratives are constructed, how media shapes perception, and how language influences society.

From classical texts to contemporary media platforms, the programme develops the ability to interpret, critique, and create content across formats. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, communication skills, creative expression, and media literacy. Blending academic depth with practical exposure, the programme prepares graduates to become effective communicators, storytellers, and media professionals.
