How the BA is structured
You take the common BA core first, then specialisation electives in the later semesters - so you are not locked into this stream from day one.
On the elective list. The university publishes the core curriculum above but does not publish the individual elective titles for this specialisation. Rather than guess at them, we would rather you got the current list from someone who has it - ask a counsellor and they will send it through.
Roles this prepares you for
- Research Associate
- Development Sector Executive
- HR Executive
- Social Policy Analyst
Eligibility
A pass in 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board. Basic proficiency in English is required, and applicants from non-English-medium backgrounds must have completed at least three years of education in English medium.
