A few reasons, why you must... Choose the College of Humanities

Welcome to the College of Humanities at the University of KwaZulu-Natal – a leading hub of critical thought, creative expression, and transformative knowledge in Africa.

As the largest College at UKZN, we are home to three diverse and dynamic Schools:

Our structure reflects the complexity and richness of the human experience. We are deeply committed to nurturing scholars, teachers, artists, researchers, and changemakers who are equipped to address the real challenges of our society, while also imagining new possibilities.

As Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College, I am supported by a committed leadership team comprising School Deans, a Dean of Teaching and Learning, a Dean of Research, and our Director of Professional Services, who also fulfills the role of College Registrar. Together, we ensure that the academic, research, and administrative ecosystem is robust, inclusive, and agile.

School of Arts

This School is a diverse and yet cognate set of schools and disciplines. It brings together the major languages of the region and a range of language and arts disciplines to generate creative, critical and transformatory responses to teaching, research and university service, outreach and the development of international links.

School of Education

The new School of Education in a new South Africa carries the responsibility and obligation to respond to the inequalities and injustices inherited in the local context of the new university, the province and in the country; and simultaneously it must address the global, the continent of Africa, and the margin or periphery as part of the developing world. It has to do so in all areas of its core functions of research, teaching, learning and community engagement.

School of Social Sciences

UKZN embarked on a reconfiguration process which gave birth to a College model. Within the College of Humanities, the School of Social Sciences was formed. The School is comprised of three former Schools: the School of Anthropology, Gender and Historical Studies; the School of Politics and the School of Sociology and Social Studies. It is fully operational on both Howard and Pietermaritzburg campuses.
