Advancing what it means to be human in a more-than-human world.
The School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities brings together people from the humanities, arts, social sciences and education to explore how industries, cultures and societies evolve and respond to technological transformation. We address some of the most pressing issues and challenges that require both scientific creativity and understanding of human complexities. Our graduates are creative problem-solvers with sought-after transferable skills in communication, teamwork and leadership.
