About the Program

Under Liberal Arts' College program SASH trains students to become professionals in History and Philology.


Liberal Arts is an innovative educational standard providing students with opportunity to define their field of study themselves. During their first year all of the students obtain fundamental knowledge and then get to choose a major to pursue in their forward studies.
 

Curriculum under Liberal Arts

During the first year of study the students share a general curriculum. Then they choose between basic majors:


History
                              
Philology and Translation

major provides several possible studying profiles. Exampli gratia, the History major is divided into profiles as following: “History of law and state in Classical Era” and “History of Modern and Contemporary law and state”. Moreover, all of the students obtain basic education in the humanities during the first three semesters of study.


Unlike traditional university programs, Liberal Arts programs provides an opportunity to combine two fields of study in basic (major) and complenentary (minor) areas from the list of courses offered by the Liberal Arts Department. Students are given enough time to make a balanced decision when selecting their major, since they are required to do so not when applying to the university but after completing a set of general courses. The program structure allows students to develop personal educational trajectories and provides our alumni with unique competences.
