Please use the links above for information specific to each department within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS).

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is the second faculty of Makumira University College (MUCo), and began in January 2004. The mission and aims of FHSS are the same as those of MUCo and Tumaini University.

The uniqueness of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at MUCo is its additional dimension to the otherwise traditional, theoretical approach in the teaching of subjects. In the new millennium, the practice of teaching subjects for its own sake at the University level seems to have become obsolete. In the new era of Information Technology (IT), the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at MUCo will have its teaching geared more towards a career-oriented approach which would prepare students to face the challenge of globalisation in the competitive market. More details on this approach will be given under each department.
