OUR MISSION
|
The mission of the Faculty of Humanities is to conduct research in accordance with the highest international standards. The scope of our research is defined by six disciplines: literary studies, linguistics, history, philosophy, culture studies, and arts studies. The basic assumptions of our research are informed by interdisciplinarity, abolishing caesuras and blurring boundaries between disciplines. The same assumptions underlie instruction within the Faculty of Humanities. We use cutting-edge teaching methods and place emphasis on shaping our students’ critical reflection on social and political changes that are taking place in the contemporary world. | |
