Profile
Liberal arts ideology carries the antique idea that a free person must know certain things. Tallinn University’s liberal arts in social sciences does not teach rhetoric or grammar but does give you all you need to know about social sciences. The program looks into various social sciences and teaches the students how to find common ground. Students can create their own major via electives after the core courses have introduced the different social sciences. The program includes practice, so the graduates have experience of how to work in the real world within their chosen field and the analytical and writing skills necessary for future studies in Estonia or elsewhere. The program consists of mostly compulsory core courses divided into six semesters. Students can create their own major with various electives that they find interesting in university. The program councils students to make sure choices are well thought out but offer the students a chance to still design their own future. The program includes various writing and methodology courses, finally culminating with a big research paper that is similar to a bachelor’s thesis. The program includes compulsory practical training and an interdisciplinary project, both providing practical skills. The program ends with an exam that covers the core of the program. The term Liberal Arts denotes a curriculum that imparts general knowledge and develops the student’s rational thought and intellectual capabilities. Liberal Arts curricula are common in the US and Europe, but the first Liberal Arts College in the Baltic region was opened by Tallinn University. The Liberal Arts in Social Sciences program provides the following specializations: Information Management, Public Relations, Electronic Media and Communication, Politics and Governance, International Relations and European Studies, Sociology and Basics of Social Work, Learning and Social Impact, Hobby Education, and Recreation Management. The teaching philosophy of the liberal arts and sciences is a broad Bachelor’s education that is the first step toward the more specialized Master’s program. The interdisciplinary approach provides both breadth and scope: students are introduced to a variety of subjects from different academic disciplines and acquire essential academic skills. Thus, a liberal arts and sciences education offer the ideal basis for students to cultivate an open and critical mind, enabling them to operate within a globalizing, multicultural society and workforce.
