What it is	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	This is a combined undergraduate and law degree program that lets you study a humanities or social science subject alongside a professional law degree. Unlike a standard BA followed by separate law school, you complete both degrees together in an integrated path, earning a BA/LLB. It suits students who want a broader educational foundation in fields like English, archaeology, or communication studies while training to become a lawyer, rather than focusing only on law from the start.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
