SINGAPORE: The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) on Monday (Oct 31) announced it will split its humanities and social sciences programmes into two separate schools - the School of Humanities (SoH) and the School of Social Sciences (SSS) - from August 2017.

In its press release, NTU said students majoring in Chinese, English, History, Linguistics and Multilingual Studies and Philosophy will be admitted into SoH, while those studying Economics, Psychology, Public Policy and Global Affairs and Sociology will come under SSS.

The two new schools will be housed under the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, which also includes the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, and the School of Art, Design and Media, it added.

"The re-organisation into two schools increases flexibility for future growth and enhances opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The new schools will also enable NTU to fulfil the evolving educational needs and aspirations of students," the varsity said.
