Centre for Social Sciences
The Centre for Social Sciences (CSS) is the largest department in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, with 28 faculty members and over 100 tutors and academic experts. CSS offers a variety of courses and programs spanning the areas of anthropology, criminal justice, global studies, health administration, human geography, human services, legal studies, political economy, political studies, psychology, sociology and legislative drafting. Although CSS is inherently diverse in our expertise across the social sciences field, we share the common goal of optimizing teaching and learning.
