This programme is aimed at developing students who:
- take an active interest in understanding events and happenings in the world around them;
- are critically aware of the interconnectedness, continuity, and transformation of the human experience;
- appreciate the inter-relationship of ideas across disciplines;
- are keenly aware of their status as a privileged member of society and who are thus motivated to be an effective global citizen to make a difference.
