The faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has decided to amend its external degree programs and improve its quality and relevance so that the employability of external degree holders would be enhanced effectively in keeping with the national requirements and the individual’s needs for pursuing higher studies. Having considered the status quo and the guidelines provided by the University Grants Commission with the intention of upgrading the quality of external degree programme, the faculty suggests a revision to its existing external degree programme. The external degree programme is comprised of 22 study fields (subjects) offered by ten (10) departments of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The FHSSs intends to equip the students with the following skills and attitudes in order to build up a productive graduate. Such students will have both specialist knowledge and general intellectual and life skills that equip them for employment and lay the foundations for a lifetime of continuous personal development which is necessary for national development.
