School of Humanities

Our collective cultural, linguistic, ethical, and artistic vocabularies explore what it means to be in the world

The School of Humanities is the University’s nexus for critical thinking. We explore how cultures through time have understood – and represented their understandings of – how the world came to be the way it is, and how it might evolve.

Students engage with communities and industry through internships, mentorship and practical projects.

Our degrees are informed by world-class research and designed for curious minds seeking bold careers.
