B.A. Programme

The raison d'être of the B.A. Programme is the need for an undergraduate programme that is relevant to the immediate environment of social opportunities while, at the same time, giving the student the basic intellectual equipment expected of a programme of higher education.

It is a useful and attractive academic programme that enables a student to acquire the thinking ability, linguistic skills and broad-based knowledge needed to enter the world of work. At the same time, this programme gives the students enough knowledge in a discipline to pursue post-graduate studies. The B.A. Programme is thus conceived both as a terminal degree with substantial intellectual prowess and as an enabling degree for higher studies.

The structure and contents of the programme make it an integrated and inter-disciplinary programme with flexibility and choice. Thus the B.A. Programme is bound to provide the students a demanding but worthwhile and enjoyable experience in the form of a liberal education.
