Faculty of Social and Human SciencesWho are we?

A leading and innovative Faculty in the development of areas of knowledge in the Social and Human Sciences today, our commitment is:

Social development, international studies and humanism

The Faculty of Social and Human Sciences focuses on the impact that the transformations and changes our time have on people, their lives and cultures; the human face of globalisation, innovation, development, technological change...

Education

A wide range of undergraduate, master's and doctoral programmes aimed at providing highly qualified professionals and responding to the real needs of society and the demands of a dynamic labour market.

Research and Transfer

Our high-performing research groups generate new knowledge and transfer that knowledge to society.

Social Responsibility

A Faculty committed to the concerns of the citizens of the 21st century and to the exercise of the University's social responsibility.

A global Faculty

Our Faculty is deeply rooted in the Basque Country and firmly committed to internationalisation, offering a wide range of subjects in Spanish, Basque, English and the possibility of studying other international languages (French, German, Chinese or Arabic).

Bilbao and San Sebastian

The Faculty of Social and Human Sciences carries out its activities on the Bilbao and San Sebastian campuses, and it has its own range of studies and programme of activities on each campus.

Multilingualism

We promote multilingual teaching and learning (in Spanish, Basque and English), with a variable distribution of credits taught in one or other language. The aim is to ensure that students reach competent levels in the language, enabling them to practise their professions in globalised local job contexts.
