The Faculty of Humanities offers a rich suite of programmes and pursues the best standards expected of disciplines in the liberal arts tradition. The Faculty is shaped by several departments in the languages, core social sciences, applied social sciences and a School of the Arts (a School of Languages is under construction). A vision is made possible by collaboration, dialogic engagement and active joint endeavours that enables us to also work beyond bounded disciplines. This is underpinned by a view of the central role that the humanities, arts and social sciences plays in developing the knowledge economy and advancing the human resource development needs of the country, recognising the role that the humanities play in our cultural, social and political lives. The Faculty recognises that we are both simultaneously local and global, and that it is a virtue to promote learning and critical inquiry that recognise the past, present and future in the rich diversity of our country which is connected to the continent and the rest of the world. This is a vision underpinned by deliberate attempts to foster creativity, promote social justice and to advance scholarship that advances the transformation of local and global communities. This is supported by a mission that views the Humanities to be fostered in a research-intensive context through collaboration, exchange, and funded scholarly/creative projects that result in lifelong learning among staff, students and broader society.
