What our students say
Social Theory and Public Affairs

Barak Kalir, Programme Director of the Master's programme in Social Theory and Public Affairs.
Teaching social sciences at the ISHSS is a real pleasure. Having students from different parts of the world present in class provides a wide array of perspectives and creates a stimulating environment for both students and lecturers. The international students are very eager to learn and they participate in lively discussions not only in class but also before and after it. Students often ask probing questions which force the lecturer to be very open and attentive to their interests and interpretations.
ISHSS staff are always ready to assist in every matter, and do their best to make sure that students and lecturers can concentrate on the academic process. The quality of the facilities in the ISHSS is on a par with any academic institution I have visited around the world.
