Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS).​

Students and staff in FASS are united by our quest to better understand and make an impact on the rapidly changing world around us. We are motivated by wanting to get to grips with the social, technological, environmental, economic and political challenges facing the world now – and in the future.

Whether you’re a business student looking to develop ethical and sustainable leadership in a complex commercial environment, or a humanities student wanting to tell compelling stories through literature, the media and the arts, FASS will help you to find your place in the world and shape it.​

Along the way, you’ll be guided by inspirational and passionate teachers from across the globe, with access to cutting edge research. You’ll have chance to meet experts from industry, gain work-like experience in your chosen career path, and develop the analytical and creative skills so in demand by employers. ​

You’ll be part of a global community. FASS works closely with our sister schools in the UK and China, and with several international partners from across the world giving you unrivalled opportunities to connect and learn as a UNM global citizen.​

I’m very proud to be a part of this faculty, and I look forward to welcoming you in person at one of our many open days, campus events or when you start your studies with us.​
