Introduction
The Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, Society and Culture: Sociology, Psychology, and Leadership is a 3-year, internationally accredited program offering a modern and interdisciplinary education in humanitarian issues and how they interact with societies and cultures. You will earn a globally recognized American and European B.A. degree.
The Sociology, Psychology, and Leadership concentration provides students with a broad understanding of these areas, including the major theoretical concepts as well as practical applications in these fields.
In this program, students investigate the behavior and mental processes as they engage in a systematic study of individuals in relation to their societies. Students learn about the organization, management, and how to create social environments in which individuals thrive. Psychology, sociology, and leadership are explored from the multi-disciplinary perspectives of social science, culture, art, film, and language. Students learn to identify, address and solve complex theoretical and practical issues within diverse contexts.
Beyond the classroom, you can also join student clubs like Model UN and Film Club, discuss current political issues with professors and local experts at an event like ‘Professors in the Pub’ or stop by one of our movie nights or poetry readings in the Library featuring professors and internationally published authors.
AAU’s Career Center also connects students with numerous professional internships in the Czech Republic and abroad every year.
