Fields of study per major

The three majors (Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities) are at the top of the chart in bold, followed by the various fields of study within in each major.

Majors

Listed below are the courses necessary to fulfil the requirements per major. Keep in mind that students must also fulfil the necessary Academic Core requirements (see Academic Standards and Procedures) in addition to their other degree requirements to graduate. 

Each course at AUC is classified as either part of a major or part of the Academic Core. Within each major, courses are organised by field of study and by level, with levels 100, 200 and 300 representing introductory, intermediate and advanced courses, respectively. Understanding how courses are categorised helps students create their study plans and ensures they meet all the requirements for their chosen major.

Choosing courses in their major

With assistance from their tutor, students choose 66 EC (equivalent to 11 courses) in their major in subjects that interest them and suit their future ambitions. Tutors ensure that the chosen courses are coherent and will qualify for specific Master's programmes or careers.

Fields of study and specialisations

Courses taken in the majors are designed to include specialisations within one or more fields of study. By selecting specific areas of knowledge, students can further focus their studies by following sets of advanced courses. This structured approach provides coherence to the programme and ensures that every student attains a deep understanding of their chosen subject. As a result, they are well-prepared to pursue further studies at the Master's level in more specific fields.
