About Master of Arts

A Master of Arts (MA) is a postgraduate degree typically pursued after completing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or an equivalent degree. The MA program generally spans two years and offers advanced study in the humanities, social sciences, and liberal arts. It allows students to specialize in a specific field such as English, History, Political Science, Sociology, or Economics. The program focuses on in-depth theoretical knowledge, research methodologies, and critical analysis, often culminating in a dissertation or research project. An MA degree equips graduates with specialized skills and knowledge, preparing them for both academic and professional careers.
