UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO

Across the world, there is a discernible movement away from considering education a public rather than a private good. Within this context, our Faculty has to find a way to survive and flourish. We are engaged in refocusing the Faculty through innovative teaching, research, and community engagement methods. The contents of the curriculum are continually reviewed to meet the government’s and market’s societal and human resources strategies. To this end, the Faculty facilitates knowledge production and dissemination with a distinctly African value-add. It also endeavours to advance the frontiers of social research and knowledge generation.

A university is a special place where you have a unique opportunity to gain knowledge, debate, and interrogate ideas and the reality around you.

The Faculty invites you to join us on a journey to rediscover Africa and her glorious past, to unearth what history and heritage studies tell us about the ideas created by the great African philosophers, scholars and sages. We believe that the knowledge society of the twenty-first century should include the African experience in literature, language, philosophy, art, music, education and politics.

The Faculty of Humanities comprises three Schools: the School of Languages and Communication Studies, the School of Education, and the School of Social Sciences. We offer a range of programmes leading to certificates, diplomas and degrees that will equip you with the knowledge, skills and values needed in our modernising communities, the Southern African region, and the world at large.
