Course: Liberal Arts B.A.

Curious about the world and how it works? Interested in the ideas, cultures, and forces that have shaped human societies across time? “Liberal Arts: Culture, History, Society” at the University of Regensburg is an interdisciplinary bachelor’s programme that invites you to explore the big questions - from the roots of civilisation to contemporary challenges: migration, climate change, gender, social inequality, sustainability and many others that reflect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Taught entirely in English and with a foundation in the rich tradition of Liberal Arts education - but with a distinct contemporary twist - this degree challenges students to think broadly and critically. You’ll engage with history, literature, culture, and the social sciences, building the skills to analyse, communicate, and connect across disciplines.
