What are nations and citizens, who are included or exclu ded, even becoming refugees? Where does Artificial Intelligence take us? Can we build an argumentation machine? What is a moral market? How do artists work and museums curate art? What are environmental humanities? These and many other questions are addressed. The Faculty of Humanities is a vibrant community with a global outlook. All teaching in the humanities faculty is personal: students work in small groups, allowing a lot of interaction with fellow students and teachers. Academic challenges, active teaching methods and high-quality supervision are important elements of education in the Faculty of Humanities, with cur- rent world issues like the UN Sustainable Development Goals and major scientific questions playing an important role.
