Liberal Arts in Humanities is a 3-year study programme that provides wide knowledge in the humanities and develops intellectual abilities and critical thinking. The student is not limited to only one field, but has a choice of various humanities disciplines, such as anthropology, Asian studies, English studies, Eastern-European studies, literary and cultural studies, environmental humanities and cultural analysis. They are free to combine these disciplines into a tailor-made interdisciplinary curriculum according to their personal goals and interests.

The Bachelor's degree program in Liberal Arts and Humanities offers studies of the humanities and focuses on philosophy, history, and cultural and social anthropology. The program's significant feature is a widely open study schedule that allows students to pursue their individual abilities and develop their interests. The student takes mandatory courses in humanities and social sciences and passes comprehensive exams relevant to each field. By choosing other elective courses during the studies, the student can gradually specialize and focus either on further (Master's) study in any of the relative theoretical fields or on the practical use of acquired skills. The study program is realized without specialization.
