The Faculty of Human and Social Sciences
Well-functioning societies and organisations create security, justice and prosperity. At the same time, the foundation of a safe society is prosperous people with access to good education.
At the newly formed Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, you will train to become an independent thinker who can understand, contribute to and lead sustainable and successful business and societal development. An understanding of language, culture, religion and behaviour will give you the tools to communicate, think critically and deal with life’s challenges.
The Faculty offers studies in fields ranging from culture, history, philosophy, speech therapy, psychology, language and theology, to social policy, developmental psychology, education, social sciences, economics and law.
Education and research in this environment allow for unique subject combinations and international contacts.
