Faculty of Social and Human Science

Humane worldview and professional culture are not mere formal requirements of professional standard but the imperative of our time. Forming humane image of the world and of the future is therefore one of the primary objectives of a university. Only the human component of higher education can accomplish this objective. It is this component that forms the basis of socio-cultural reproduction of the nation and of the culture itself.

Faculty of Social and Human Science was established in 2009 on the basis of seven departments of sociological, linguistic, psychological and juridical profile, the majority of which successfully operates since the University’s foundation.
