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
