Department of Humanities

We strive to develop students’ capacity for independent and critical thought, logical analysis, effective communication and informed participation in teamwork. In the first year, through its core courses, the Faculty exposes students to skills and knowledge from a broad range of academic disciplines. Students will continue to follow ICT as well as other core subjects (Quantitative Techniques, Human Recourse Management, and Compulsory English) that will enhance their general academic and practical abilities

The program aims in particular at fostering study skills that will encourage students to make productive use of reference material. It also provides an intellectual orientation that enables them to make connections across disciplines and to think creatively and coherently, as well as the disposition to develop initiative and imagination in a systematic fashion. We strive to produce a university graduate who is flexible, self-confident, imaginative, and innovative, and is thus empowered to meet the challenges of the future.
