Faculty of Arts
Through the College's programmes in the arts, humanities
and communication, the Faculty of Arts and its students explore
the range of creative expression and thought -both past and present-
in languages and literature, culture and history, critical thinking
and philosophy, media studies and professional ethics.
The mission of the Faculty is to provide a broad
education in arts and humanities as well as training in a particular
academic specialty. We focus on cultural appreciation as well as
the proficient and effective use of language, giving students the
confidence and ability to face the challenges of a society where
multi-lingual communication and cultural sensitivities are increasingly
important in a global community.
