Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities

Overview

An academic entity departing from the former School of Social Sciences and International Languages at Hong Bang International University, the School of Social Sciences and Humanities proudly inherits its predecessor’s 20-plus-year history of training and research.

The school currently offers 5 undergraduate programs, including International Relations, Multimedia Communications, Psychology, Public Relations, and Event Management. The last three programs are making their debuts in the coming school year of 2021-2022 in respond to the increasing societal needs for higher education. The International Relations Department, having started its courses since 2003, is now running an English-based program together with the regular Vietnamese-based program. Meanwhile, the Department of Multimedia Communications has been since 2006 training students for a variety of professions in print media, broadcast media, social media, and the like.

Our growing full-time faculty includes instructors who are holders of a master’s or a doctoral degree. Their academic backgrounds ranges broadly from communications, journalism, marketing, international politics, diplomacy, and international affairs to world history, human geography, area studies, cultural communication, public relations, psychology, and laws. All of them are graduates from high-profile universities in Vietnam and in such foreign countries as the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Australia, Korea, and Thailand. Their excellence in foreign languages and experiences in multicultural learning environments constitute an asset for assurance of our teaching quality and our students’ comprehensive advancement in knowledge, skills, global thinking, pioneering spirit, and adaptability.
