BA Social Sciences and Humanities Hons

Dr BR Ambedkar University, Delhi (Also known as: Ambedkar University Delhi)

The BA Hons. Program in Social Sciences and Humanities (‘SSH’) can best be described as an immersion in interdisciplinary humanities. It allows students to explore three disciplines/ disciplinary areas of the School in some depth over three years while obtaining the wider benefits of a liberal arts education.

The School of Undergraduate Studies (SUS) aims to offer its students a unique liberal arts education that acquaints them with diverse approaches to knowledge. The undergraduate programmes at AUD encourage students to think critically and creatively, to analyse and reason, to communicate effectively, and to draw evidence-based conclusions. It aims to achieve a balance between the range and depth of the subjects studied.

The unique aspect of Undergraduate programmes at AUD is that there are common modules for foundational skills comprising a language, writing skills, communication skills, analytical reasoning and a core module in social sciences. This is done through a blend of common foundational courses, languages, core discipline courses and a wide range of elective courses. Students experience the flexibility of choosing courses from more than one disciplinary area in order to develop a broader perspective on social sciences and humanities. They also have the opportunity to seek transfer from one programme to another, provided they meet certain criteria.
