Student Testimonials
The vibrant community and the exceptional guidance by the faculty mentors gave me the opportunity to explore in-depth my research interests in the field of literary craft and creative writing, often from a lovely window seat in the library with a view of the lake.

MCH gave me the space to combine my varying interests in art and feminism and apply it in social and philosophical theories and explore my own understanding of these subjects.

Being part of the undergraduate course at MCH has been a truly rewarding experience from the very first day. The program has been designed very meticulously and reflects MCH's commitment to contemporary and interdisciplinary scholarship.

MCH is an ideal place to spend one's undergraduate years. The curriculum is rigorous, but at the same time, students have more than enough time to explore areas within and beyond the academic world that catch their fancy. Each lecture opens up a world of possibilities. Not to mention, with faculty like ours, there's no Monday morning blues

BA Humanities
I spent a semester at 必威体育betway888 Centre of Humanities as an exchange student from Aarhus University, and my experience was overall very positive. The courses offered at MCH were interesting and well structured as they covered topics of both Indian and Western literature and sociology. Although I found the workload a bit heavy sometimes, the teachers were always very comprehensive and ready to help. However, what I enjoyed the most about MCH is the sense of community and the way teachers and students engage with each other during and outside classes. MCH also offers different seminars, guest lectures and cultural activities throughout the semester - such as film and theatre clubs, music and creative writing events or movie screenings, which creates a friendly and stimulating environment.

MA exchange student from Aarhus University, Denmark
MCH is a space that furthered my interest in pursuing a career in academics. Having done both undergraduate and master's here, I developed my research and writing skills through the integrative approach of teaching the curriculum. Engaging in classes with fellow students, one-to-one interaction with experienced faculty and exposure to other academic activities have made five years a joyous intellectual journey for me. And the picturesque campus makes it a fun experience to learn in a space like MCH!
