In order to provide a wider scope of learning opportunities for students to develop their multi-perspective learning, the Department has been active in organizing a large variety, some in series, of seminars and international conferences on inter-disciplinary studies.  Students of the Department will have the opportunity to take part in the Student Exchange Programme to experience studying abroad and broaden their horizons.  Additionally, our Internship Programme includes learning programmes which are carried out in summer breaks at participating publishers, radio stations and secondary schools. The programme offers an opportunity for students to gain work experience.
