In the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences we work to understand the story of us.
We are focused on what it is to be human, the complexity of life and culture, and on understanding the interaction of people with each other and the natural and physical world.
We combine expertise across a range of disciplines and apply critical and analytical thinking, as well as scientific and evidence-based approaches, to the big questions affecting us all.
