Faculty Introduction

Be part of a Faculty that promotes a learning environment that encourages diverse students and staff to expand their intellectual, creative, and social horizons through learning and teaching, research and innovation”.

Based in Windhoek, the campus is home to two schools: The School of Education and the School of Humanities, Society and Development.

The Faculty of Education and Human Sciences (FEHS) is one of the four faculties at the University of Namibia (UNAM). The FEHS was established following the developments of the 6th Strategic Plan (2019-2024) which necessitated a university-wide restructuring process. Therefore, to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and quality of programme offerings, the FEHS was born out of a merger of two former faculties, namely: The Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The FEHS has since been inspired by its Vision, which is: “to become a professional faculty that provides its students and staff with services that advance professional knowledge and practice to transform the living environment”. To pursue this Vision, the FEHS set itself a mission to, “create a learning environment that encourages diverse students and staff to expand their intellectual, creative, and social horizons through learning and teaching, research and innovation”.

Though its headquarters are at Khomasdal Campus, the FEHS prides itself with a footprint across all the campuses of the University of Namibia where its programmes are offered. Through its two schools, namely: The School of Education and the School of Human Sciences, the FEHS offers robust, cutting edge and world-class programmes that are innovative, responsive and needs-driven. The ongoing pursuit of quality constitutes the golden thread in the Faculty’s programme offerings all the way from undergraduate studies to PhD studies. Given its staffing composition, the Faculty excels across all the strategic focus areas of the University, namely: learning and teaching, research and innovation, and community engagement.

The FEHS is an international player on the global higher education landscape with partnerships and collaborations across the various parts of the globe. At the same time, the Faculty remains committed to its facilitative role in the pursuit of development goals at the national and international levels. The FHES displays a strong multi-cultural and international character, with its staff and students attracted from all corners of the world.
