The NTU School of Humanities provides a rigorous and holistic education to help you to think critically and articulate your ideas clearly and confidently. Research in the humanities is rooted in rigorous analysis and creative engagement, and reflects a deep commitment to exploring both past and present; collectively we seek to make an active and significant contribution to our complex and nuanced cultural contexts.

Studying the humanities provides a myriad of practical workplace and life skills that are designed to benefit you as you embark on your career. The nuanced nature of the courses taught in the humanities prepare you for an essential aspect of working: awareness and sensitivity to the diversity of people in the workforce. It provides an avenue to explore and understand the human experience. The humanities imparts the values of open-mindness and adaptability, understanding multiple, and often contrasting, perspectives, and recognising the increasing interconnectivity of people and cultures.

The versatility of an education in the humanities instills a sense of resilience in you that empowers you to effectively overcome the challenges you might face in your professional lives ahead. Innovative assessment methods, such as creative projects, also ensure that life skills such as creativity, communication, and critical thinking are implemented throughout your education so that you are able to express your perspectives and demonstrate effectively how your knowledge and experience contribute to ongoing issues.

The NTU School of Humanities has more than 110 full-time faculty members educating nearly 1,500 undergraduates spread across the core humanities— the study of history, language, literature, art history, and philosophy. Over the years, the NTU School of Humanities has been committed to developing a curriculum that not only imparts subject-specific knowledge, but also prepares you for your future careers by developing your personal and professional skill sets. 

An education at the NTU School of Humanities perfectly equips you with the abilities, resources, and facilities required to propel your personal and professional journeys, while driving real change. We wish you the best of luck with your future pursuits and encourage you to forge links between the skills we teach and the professional roles you will inhabit.
