Dear Students It is a great pleasure and honour to the Faulty of Humanities Mahikeng Campus. You did not make a mistake by choosing your field of study for your future career within our faculty. Humanities is regarded as one of the oldest academic disciplines in higher education. In the Faculty of Humanities, students are encouraged to understand and explain human experiences in their totality. As it includes academic fields of enquiry that focus on understanding, interpreting, communicating and producing knowledge about human experience and interaction, the area of humanities remains essential to both the higher education sector and the corporate world. The Faculty of Humanities at the North-West University offers students a powerful currency in today's rapidly changing world, as we provide students with critical and intellectual skills to understand and explain human experience in a personal, cultural and social context. In acknowledging the impact of technology on all aspects of society, our programmes foster an intersection between humanities and technology in understanding, addressing and mitigating the local and global challenges facing humanity. We pride ourselves on offering engaged research and ethical teaching and learning for all students, affirming our African identity in pursuit of excellence in scholarship and social responsibility. If and when you face any challenges, please discuss them with the Humanities Student Chapter leaders. We are here to help you adapt to your new home, the North-West University. Lastly, I would like to encourage you to listen to your lecturers and programme leaders and seek advice when necessary. Warm regards.
