Course contents The general objective of the Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities is the training of professionals who possess a broad scientific and methodological base as well as in-depth knowledge of our culture and heritage, from their origins up to the present day, based on knowledge of the human sciences. On the other hand, we mustn’t forget our commitment to educate citizens who actively participate in the transformation of the society in which they live and in the social and economic progress of their environment as active agents of innovation. Consequently, the objective is for the graduate to obtain a versatile preparation which allows him/her to adapt to a constantly changing society, acquire basic scientific knowledge on the principal trends in art and schools of thought, on the diachronic structure of the past, and on man’s behaviour in society. This versatile preparation, since it incorporates instrumental and applied knowledge, will allow graduates to reach their ultimate objective, that is, to access the job market, in professional fields related to the convergence of new technologies, culture, communications, teaching, and research, as well as in sectors dedicated to the organisation and promotion of cultural events, the interpretation and diffusion of heritage in the framework of cultural and social policies, and finally, the valuing of human heritage in enterprise. As part of this training, special consideration should be given in the programmes of study within this discipline to: the respect for the fundamental rights of equality of men and women; the respect for and promotion of Human Rights as reflected in laws and principles which establish and develop equality of opportunities and non-discrimination, and its accordance with the values of democracy and a culture of peace.
