Message from School Dean

Alhamdulillah, puji dan syukur saya panjatkan ke hadrat Allah s.w.t atas limpah dan kurniaNya

Sekolah Sains Sosial terus melangkah ke hadapan dengan wadah perjuangan akademik dan melahirkan modal insan yang bersahsiah tinggi. Sejak ditubuhkan pada 1995, Sekolah Sains Sosial kini menawarkan enam (6) program pengajian iaitu Komunikasi, Hubungan Industri, Sosiologi dan Antrapologi, Hubungan Antarabangsa, Geografi dan Sejarah selaras dengan memenuhi keperluan pasaran kerja semasa yang kompetitif. Kursus-kursus yang ditawarkan direkabentuk bukan sahaja tertumpu pada aspek-aspek akademik tetapi juga memberikan pendedahan kepada para pelajar dalam mempersiapkan diri mereka menghadapi dunia pekerjaan. Ini termasuk membentuk modal insan yang berdaya-saing di persada antarabangsa misalannya melalui program pertukaran pelajar dengan universiti-universiti di luar negara. Persekitaran yang indah dan kondusif, kemudahan yang lengkap serta jalinan rangkaian yang luas dengan institusi-institusi pengajian tinggi di dalam dan luar negara memastikan peluang-peluang kerjasama dalam hal-hal akademik, penyelidikan dan penerbitan sentiasa terbuka luas.

Sekolah Sains Sosial beriltizam untuk mencapai kecemerlangan akademik di dalam dan luar negara serta memartabatkan ilmu dalam mendukung misi dan visi universiti iaitu "Bertekad Cemerlang'.

Akhir kata daripada saya, selamat datang ke gudang ilmu yang tersohor di Sabah, Negeri di Bawah Bayu dan di sini saya juga mengalu-alukan mana-mana pihak yang berminat untuk datang melawat Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) khususnya Sekolah Sains Sosial (SSS).

 

 


 

About Us

The School of Social Sciences (SSS) was established in 1995 when Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) received its first intake of students. It was formed to fulfil the need for developing knowledge in the social sciences by offering courses from various programmes to produce graduates who are able to contribute to the development of the country.

SSS strives to excel in areas of teaching and community service. Hence, the School endeavours to empower would-be graduates to ensure that they become responsible, dedicated and ready to serve the nation.

The main aims of the School are:

  • To disseminate knowledge in the social sciences and related fields through teaching and research, as well as to broaden courses and degrees offered.
  • To produce competent graduates who are ready to serve the nation for peace and prosperity.
  • To establish relations between UMS and the private, industrial and government sectors, at the national and international levels.
  • To strengthen ties between institutions of higher learning from within and outside the country.

Academic Staff

Professors, Associate Professors and Lecturers in the School of Social Sciences are Masters and Doctoral Degree holders from local and overseas universities. They are widely acknowledged for their high academic standing and research expertise.
