The diversity of the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences is a key resource for interdisciplinary and innovative research and teaching. Across seven departments, we develop expertise on issues related to culture and society  – 
locally, regionally, globally, and with an open-minded approach.

What I particularly appreciate about the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences is the support we receive from all sides. The professors take the time to engage with us students. This was especially helpful to me at the beginning of my studies, as I was a first-time college student.
