Social Science is a dynamic department with a strong tradition of academic excellence; committed to helping students to learn, understand and apply knowledge and skills. We recognise that students live in a world characterised by rapid change; we challenge students to respond to the unpredictable and unexpected. Future success depends on knowing how to adapt, to apply and to understand what is needed to solve problems. With this in mind, we prepare students to be participative leaders and effective, responsible citizens.
The Social Science faculty has a strong connections with the broader community, which allows us to draw on greater community expertise to broaden our student's educational experiences. We enhance learning by providing substantial extra-curricula activities that provide students with the opportunity to integrate real world applications and values with theoretical knowledge.
