- Director’s Message

Greetings from the School of Social Sciences!
“The School of Social Sciences is a young school comprising the departments of Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Data Science, and Public Policy. Being young, it thrives on conviction, courage, and compassion - values that we impart in you - our students - that we believe will stand you in good stead through your lives.
- Conviction : Believe in the importance of the work you do and the importance of your role in that work
- Courage : Stand for truth, justice and equality always.
- Compassion : Empathize with those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable
As the Director of the School, I am appreciative of the diverse and rigorous research and practice-oriented disciplines we offer. Our school stands out for its interdisciplinary teaching model, which combines classroom instruction with field-based experiential learning to generate actionable knowledge and equip students with the skills to navigate real-world work situations.
We emphasize dynamic teaching pedagogies and a research-driven curriculum, both of which are crucial for achieving academic excellence. Our dedicated faculty are committed to fostering an environment of intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. They are here to impart the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that employers seek, and to inspire you to reach your full potential.
The school adopts an employment training curriculum which combines academic courses, career development, and mentorship programs. Additionally, we have a distinguished group of professors of eminence and professors of practice with significant experience, alongside outstanding academics, to teach and mentor you.
We are glad to have you join us and look forward to supporting you on your academic and professional journey.
Welcome to the School of Social Sciences at RUAS!”
