Knowledge and Information Management and Psychology (Hons)

Overview

The B.A. and B.A.(Hons) are the Faculty’s staple undergraduate degrees. The Knowledge and Information Management and Psychology (Hons) course is offered by the University of Malta .

They differ from each other mainly in that the B.A. is spread equally over two areas of study, whereas the B.A.(Hons) focuses on a single area, with a secondary area as subsidiary. All undergraduate students follow two areas of study during the first year, but those who wish and qualify to proceed to the honours track continue with one area of study, in addition to a limited number of credits in the subsidiary area to be taken during the second year. 

Undergraduates may choose a combination of any two areas of study, with some restriction imposed only by practical time-table requirements. The duration of the degree courses is three years. Honours students write research-based dissertations or long essays in the final stages of their studies. 

Mobility period

Students who wish to participate in an ERASMUS exchange are encouraged to do so preferably during the second year of the course.

Students are required to consult the respective department for further guidance vis-à-vis mobility period.
