SOTA

Humanities and Social Sciences

SOTA’s Humanities and Social Sciences programme focuses on learner-centred, inquiry-based pedagogies, as well as experiential learning, providing a platform for a rich and engaged learning experience. Students are encouraged to recognise their roles as local and global citizens, who actively contribute to society and the environment.

 

Through learning Humanities and Social Sciences, students cultivate a curiosity about the study of humanity, cultures, and societies, while developing research, critical thinking, and communication skills.
