Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) Programme
Department of Humanities and Social Sciences
Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
IIT Guwahati's Master of Liberal Arts programme offers a unique combination of training in theoretical analysis and abstract thinking with the practical application of these skills.
The challenges faced by humanity and the planet today call for a holistic approach, lateral thinking abilities, and non-traditional problem-solving skills in the future citizens of the world.
Engaging in meaningful cross-disciplinary and multidisciplinary conversations, this programme will enable students to make informed judgments and choices, but always with awareness and a sense of the ethical implications of those choices.
Director's Message
Graduates from all backgrounds are welcome.
​
Expect lots of theoretical reading to hone and deepen thinking skills, plus hands-on projects to tinker with those ideas.
Crafted to benefit a wide variety of young minds with passionate interests in the humanities, arts, digital technology, and any interfaces in between.
Broaden your horizons and embark upon a journey of self-discovery.
Mentored Projects
While a love of reading is something we want everyone to bring to class, this programme also privileges the aquisition of practical research skills. A major component of the second year are mentored projects. Students interested in more focused study of a single discipline or those wishing to try out new ideas at various disciplinary intersections will get the opportunity to play with ideas and try them out in safe mentored environments.
