WHAT TO STUDY
We offer a four-year Bachelor Degree in Humanities and Social Studies, and a one-year Research Master in Humanities, Culture, and Society.
The orientation of these studies aims to prepare the students for the society of information and knowledge, the dissemination of knowledge and culture, and the promotion of relations between peoples. The general structure of the Degree in Humanities and Social Studies and of the Master of Research in Humanities, Culture, and Society has been defined taking into account the conclusions drawn from the consultations to various curricula in force in other Spanish and European universities. These studies provide the student with a comprehensive and versatile training that allows students to adapt optimally to very diverse job demands.

The final objective of these Bachelor and Master Degrees is to train graduates and postgraduates by combining two types of knowledge: a general one, which provides a scientific and methodological basis in the areas of Human and Social Sciences–with an interdisciplinary approach—, and an instrumental and applied one, which enables professional activities in areas related to teaching, the interpretation and promotion of culture and heritage, and development cooperation.
