SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES
Introduction
The School of Social Sciences was established with a mission of offering internationally
recognized and acclaimed undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral study opportunities.
Besides training programmes, the School is a rapidly growing centre of excellence in
research and community outreach, with its staff members involved in various projects that
greatly compliment its academic programmes. The School is currently comprised of five
departments:
• Economics and Development Studies
• Journalism and Mass Communication
• Humanities
• Languages and
• Psychology
In its strategic plan, the School intends to rebrand itself into the School of Humanities and
Social Sciences, which will see the establishment of the Department of Economics,
Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and the Department of Government and
Political Science, among others. The current Department of Humanities will grow to
branch into independent departments of Geography and Environmental Studies,
Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, and the Department of History and
Cultural Resource Management.
The School works in partnership with the Institute of Security Studies, Governance and Ethics in training and research, with a collaborative flagship research project in Resource Use,
Conflict and Peace Building. Our greatest resource is the body of students, undergraduate
and postgraduate to whom we are dedicated in offering timely and quality service through
career mentorship, Social Science based student clubs, seminars and community outreach
programmes.
