Overview

The Faculty of Humanities is about human connections – multiple moments of meaningful messages between human beings! We are committed to high quality programmes; innovative and committed teaching through blended platforms; illustrious research outputs in high-impact journals; public, intellectual activities and community engagement; and an intellectually stimulating and culturally diverse environment which encourages students to overcome perceived obstacles and to make their academic dreams come true.

Humanities disciplines are diverse, but they have a common thread: thinking outside the box. This can take the form either of criticism or creativity, or indeed both. They will help you to be flexible, creative problem-solvers who are able to think critically from multiple perspectives. The Faculty of Humanities is vibrant, diverse and energetic. We believe in people making a positive difference in society and you can be part of that!
