Undergraduate Student Profiles
Unique talents and experiences that connect students with future career opportunities
Details
Our undergraduate programmes combine rigorous study of a chosen subject with opportunities to learn across disciplines. Students develop the ability to think critically, ask questions, and understand different perspectives. The curriculum encourages curiosity, independent learning and an awareness of society and their responsibilities in it.
Classroom study, field engagement, internships, and research help students connect their learning with practice. Faculty guide them as they explore their interests, expand their knowledge and make choices about further study and work.

Programme structure
The undergraduate curriculum has five components:
Common Curriculum: These courses build foundational skills, introduce different ways of understanding the world, and encourage students to examine questions of values and social responsibility. They support learning across subjects and beyond the classroom.
Disciplinary Major: Students build a strong understanding of their chosen subject through core courses and electives. Core courses progress from introductory to advanced study, while electives allow students to explore particular interests within their major or related disciplines.
Occupational Track (Minor): The occupational track complements the major with knowledge and practical skills relevant to professional work. Students begin with foundational courses and build on this learning through field engagement, with a semester-long internship available in the final year.
Flexible Credits/Optional Minor: Flexible credits give students room to shape their studies around their interests and goals. They can use these credits to:
- Pursue a disciplinary minor outside their major
- Take additional electives within their major
- Explore courses in other disciplines
- Strengthen their English or Mathematics skills
Fourth-year Internship, Coursework or Research Thesis: In the fourth year, students pursue one of three options, depending on their interests and plans:
- Internship Track: Gain extended field experience linked to the occupational track
- Research Thesis Track: Undertake a research thesis or project with faculty guidance
- Coursework Track: Take three advanced courses to develop their understanding of the subject
