UNIVERSITY OF JOHANNESBURG

The Faculty of Humanities comprises of fourteen

academic departments ranging from modern

and ancient languages to the social sciences

and psychology. The Faculty offers three

undergraduate degree programmes and one

diploma programme, catering for a wide range

of study and career opportunities. Moreover,

there is ample choice in each programme, to

allow students to tailor the contents of their

programmes to suit their interests and needs.

The modules in each programme are relevant, up

to date and of the highest academic standard.

Academic departments offer postgraduate

programmes up to doctoral level.

Intellectually, the Faculty is vibrant, with a strong

research output, numerous public seminars, and a

healthy tradition of debate. Students are encouraged

to question and explore, and to interrogate knowledge

paradigms rather than simply accept them. A principal

objective of the Faculty is to produce graduates capable

of advanced analytical and critical thinking skills,

independent and progressive thinking, allowing them

to access and contribute towards all forms of human

knowledge, and to make dynamic interventions in

their chosen professions. Humanities graduates often

achieve public prominence, and contribute towards

social good of society.
