An Integrated Approach to Learning
At the Parvis Goldman Institute of Art, our academic philosophy is rooted in the belief that the most complex challenges of the 21st century require a multifaceted approach. We have abandoned the rigid silos of traditional education in favour of an integrated, cross-disciplinary curriculum. Our programmes are meticulously structured to ensure that students develop not only deep expertise in their chosen field but also a broad understanding of how it intersects with other disciplines. For instance, a student in our MSc in Global Political Economy will not only master economic theory but also understand its implications through the lens of international relations and cultural history. Similarly, our MA in Design Leadership programme blends artistic innovation with strategic business acumen, preparing graduates to lead in a rapidly evolving market.
High School: Foundations for Future Leaders
Our high school programmes are designed to provide a robust foundation for university-level studies. The curriculum is organised into two distinct yet interconnected pathways: the STEM Pathway and the Creative and Liberal Arts Pathway. The STEM Pathway offers a rigorous grounding in mathematics, physics, computer science, and biology, fostering logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Students are engaged in project-based learning, tackling real-world challenges through collaborative inquiry. The Creative and Liberal Arts Pathway, conversely, cultivates critical thinking and intellectual curiosity through a rich exploration of literature, history, philosophy, and the visual arts. Both pathways are designed to produce well-rounded individuals who are prepared to excel in any academic or professional environment.
Undergraduate: Specialisation with a Broader Perspective
Our undergraduate programmes are where students begin to specialise, while still maintaining a global, interdisciplinary perspective. The BA in International Business and Finance provides a comprehensive understanding of global markets, trade, and corporate strategy, preparing students for careers in multinational corporations and financial institutions. Courses cover everything from microeconomics to corporate finance, but are enriched by modules on international law and cross-cultural communication. Our BSc in Data Science and Innovation is a cutting-edge programme that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. Students learn advanced statistical modelling and machine learning, applying these skills to solve complex problems in business, science, and policy. The curriculum is constantly updated to reflect the latest technological advancements, ensuring our graduates are always one step ahead.
Postgraduate: Pioneering Research and Professional Excellence
Our postgraduate programmes are designed for those who seek to become leaders and innovators in their respective fields. The MSc in Global Political Economy provides an advanced and critical analysis of the global economic and political landscape. Students engage with complex theories of development, governance, and international trade, and participate in high-level seminars led by renowned experts. The MA in Design Leadership is an intensive programme that goes beyond aesthetics to focus on the strategic and managerial aspects of design. Students learn to lead creative teams, manage large-scale projects, and leverage design thinking to drive business growth. Both programmes culminate in a significant research project or a professional internship, providing an invaluable bridge between academia and the professional world.
