Formerly a separate School, General Education is now a Programme which fosters General Education across the curriculum: Presently, General Education courses are taught by instructors in: Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Social Science, Translation and History. It seeks to provide students with a core of paradigm-challenging, interdisciplinary, often intercultural courses that extend the student's horizon beyond his or her area of concentration and, at the same time, offer the student the perspective in which to assess his or own major discipline in a larger intellectual and cultural context.
