Dean’s Message

FSS is proud of interdisciplinary nature of research and teaching. What does that mean? At FSS, we want to develop solutions to real-world problems. So Psychologists work with Teacher educators, Historians work with Political scientists to name but a few examples. Each of our disciplines will provide you with exciting challenges in how you view the world in which we live and into which you will graduate. Our work is deeply rooted in the investigation of the human condition and in pointing a way towards the future.

Upon graduation, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to think deeply and critically about the issues you face locally and globally. You will be prepared to take up the challenge of shaping the society of the future through your social relationships, through your career, and through the personal choices you make.
