Overview
The foundation of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) heralded an enormously significant moment in the life of Nanyang Technological University as it represented a crucial expression of fulfillment of the university project. Taking its place beside the established technological disciplines, the school offers a firm promise of intellectual fusion and collaboration, vibrancy, cultural enrichment and freshness. Complimenting the existing scientific-based disciplines, HSS contributes added creative dimensions, innovative thinking strategies and a key focus on the capacity of each individual to make a difference through intellectual self-responsibility and resourcefulness.
HSS was also founded at a momentous juncture in contemporary times – marked by rapid technological advancement (especially in Information Technology and the Life Sciences), the rise of the Creative Economy (e.g. cultural industries), the post-socialist transformation of the People’s Republic of China, political uncertainty and new security risks (e.g. terrorism and SARS). The 21st century world demands of graduates, teachers, and scholars new perspectives and attitudes, which transcend narrow specialisation and conventional wisdom. In light of this, the vision of HSS is “to become a leading intellectual centre of humanities and social sciences in Asia, making valuable contributions to the advancement of knowledge and human life.”
Mission
“… to fulfil the ideals of teaching and scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, enabling graduates and researchers to confront the challenges of the 21st century world.”
Vision
“… to be a leading intellectual centre of humanities and social sciences in Asia, making valuable contributions to the advancement of knowledge and human life.”
Our Graduates
“… will develop breadth of imagination and depth of perspective… will be proactive rather than reactive in a fast-changing 21st century environment… alive to local, regional and global issues… able to take the initiative in analysing and improving the world around us - intelligently, inventively, critically, and creatively. And make the difference…”
