Course Description

Course Profile

The ISSC programme offers an interdisciplinary approach to sociocultural issues, social change and challenges of the modern world, including global and local conflicts, migrations, climate change, demographic crises, or economic inequalities, focusing on European borderlands. It provides students with a variety of research methods in humanities and social sciences, giving insights into political systems, contemporary culture, social movements, borderland societies, cultural and linguistic diversity. Apart from broad humanistic knowledge and expertise in the historical and contemporary social change, the programme offers a chance to develop practical competence in intercultural communication, collecting and processing of data, as well as planning and conducting research.

It has been designed and taught by professors and researchers at the Faculty of „Artes Liberales” and the Centre of Migration Research.

The programme offers:

• in-depth knowledge of the key theories and concepts of social sciences and cultural studies

• an interdisciplinary approach

• a variety of research methods in cultural studies and social sciences (sociology, politics, economy)

• students’ participation in academic research

• development of cultural awareness and critical thinking

The programme is characterised by a highly individualised approach; it is shaped by the students, who are able to choose among seminars, lectures, and workshops offered each semester. This allows each student to create a programme and an academic schedule tailored to meet their individual interests and needs.
