This program includes three mandatory components: a core course, a specialization-specific course, and a discipline-focused course, culminating in a 25,000-word thesis guided by faculty experts. The curriculum progresses from broad research foundations to specialized transdisciplinary study. Unlike conventional majors, these specializations reflect the Faculty's research excellence, faculty expertise, and current employment demands. Ideal for professionals returning to academia, it helps develop research skills and examine modern issues through interdisciplinary lenses. Graduates may qualify for doctoral studies while gaining expertise in applying social and critical perspectives through interdisciplinary methods to address health and well-being challenges. This advanced program benefits professionals seeking to enhance their research capabilities or pursue academic careers in humanities and social sciences.
