L he Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Guyana is firmly on the path of innovation to which the world of research and education is committed. As a major component of the university in terms of the number of courses it offers and the number of students it enrolls, the LSH department is determined to offer a diversified and solid range of courses that meet the intellectual, professional and cultural requirements of a rapidly changing society.
Activity
The curriculum is organised into 6 semesters, over 3 years, at the end of which the Bachelor's degree is awarded. Semester 1 is a common core for all students. Students choose their major (or stream) from the second semester of the first year (from January). Changes of direction are possible with the help of teachers and the guidance service. Each semester is organised into core teaching units (UEO), pathway units (UEP) and complementary teaching units (UEC). Masters courses are also organised into semesters.
