The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, established in 1996, is one of the university’s founding faculties. Initially composed of just two departments—the Department of Social Sciences and the Department of Humanities—the faculty has significantly expanded over the years and now includes eight diverse departments. Each department plays an essential role in creating an academic environment focused on producing graduates who are well-prepared for both local and global job markets.

As the Dean of the Faculty, I extend a warm welcome to all students choosing to pursue their bachelor’s degrees here. It is a privilege to guide you as you embark on an intellectually rewarding journey that will shape both your academic and personal growth. The faculty is dedicated to providing a high-quality education that equips students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities to succeed in their chosen fields. The disciplines within Social Sciences and Humanities are vital for societal development, as they delve into human behavior, economic dynamics, cultural heritage, languages, communication, and environmental changes. These fields play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering regional and national development while helping us navigate contemporary challenges in an ever-evolving global context.
