The
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences was established in 1959. Today it is still growing, with dynamic expansion taking place
in its academic programmes, human resources and physical structure. The Faculty provides a conducive environment for undergraduate
and postgraduate studies, and for visiting fellows. We offer a wide variety of programmes and courses, ranging from solid
core disciplines (which embody the more traditional fields of study) to bolder regional and multidisciplinary programmes which
cross departmental boundaries to explore the growing importance of Malaysia in the world.
