About the program

The B.A. in Humanities, Society and Culture: Politics and Society is a study of politics from political science and other social science perspectives with special emphasis on democratic transformation in modern Europe. Students can enjoy an interdisciplinary program lectured by an international faculty of specialists in Humanities and Social Sciences. Together they examine how political ideas are framed and manipulated in different social contexts.

In a global, interconnected world, societies are linked closer than ever. What does this mean for the future of national governments, and how has modern technology redefined societies to be governed? The B.A. in Humanities, Society and Culture: Politics and Society program is designed to give an overall understanding of how politics and society interact from perspectives of sociology, anthropology, religion, psychology, and economics.

Politics and Society students develop critical thinking, communication and research skills essential for careers in government, politics, journalism, diplomacy and business.

I definitely like the small classrooms at AAU. Interacting more with your teacher helps you grasp the subject better than sitting with three-hundred-plus other students in a lecture hall. The AAU International Exchange Project to Sri Lanka was also one of the best things that I’ve done so far. It really helped to connect my degree to real-life experiences and give me better prospects for the future.

My Prague Experience

When I looked at AAU and saw the diversity of its campus I thought that it is amazing because it would be challenging, there would be different opinions and different cultural backgrounds and various languages all living, studying, and growing under the same roof. Also, as somebody who has an interest in not only sociology but politics and political systems, I found the fact that AAU has a bachelor's degree that allows you to study politics and society combined and showing you connections in real-time extremely valuable.

AAU classes are small, usually up to 25 people, which I believe makes the interaction between international classmates more personal and diverse. It is a huge advantage as students to get an opportunity to speak up, to express our personal opinion as well as get a chance to practice our presentational skills.
