The Faculty of Arts offers eight (8) different degree designations and over thirty (30) distinct major programmes. Despite the wide selection of programmes available, all courses of study within the Faculty share the commendable attribute of high versatility. Without exception the programmes provide students with transferable knowledge and skills that can be applied to a wide-range of career contexts or alternatively be used to lay the foundations for entry into graduate or professional programmes. Professors and lecturers of all disciplines within the Faculty challenge their students to become effective communicators and researchers, cultivate strong observational, organizational, and critical thinking skills, synthesise and analyse information, question convention, develop cultural sensitivity and socio-political awareness, express creativity and originality, and apply theory to practice. These are the skills and abilities that stimulate and empower our students and alumni to help bring about positive change within the university and beyond.

| Our Vision |
|
Our vision of the faculty is that of a growing and increasingly dynamic cluster of related departments that are primarily engaged in teaching and research in established disciplines, but are also able to balance this main thrust with an increasing consciousness of thier social relevance and responsibility, in both mainstream and service programmes, as well as of the need to be resourceful. Accordingly, the Faculty is reviewing it's programmes of activities with a view to defining core areas of their disciplines in which teaching is backed by empirical research, and service areas which can be commercialised or from which they can derive at least some income |
