About Us
The mission of the Faculty of Arts is to create and transmit ideas, knowledge, virtues and values to students with a view to preparing them to be leaders and workers for their country in particular and the world at large. Apart from being one of the oldest and largest in the University, the faculty has a reputation for excellence and a commitment to ensuring that its students are well prepared for the ever-changing job market.
Aware of the global challenges, the Faculty of Arts designed new strategies to provide its students with more favourable and marketable programs and courses. Professional programs and new subject combinations have been introduced at the undergraduate level and are now being offered. These programs provide specific knowledge, skills and attributes that graduates gain from their respective areas of study. The choice of subject combinations entirely depends on one's interests, strengths and career aspirations.
The Faculty has developed its ICT section, which is fully equipped with facilities open to all students of the Faculty. Other Faculty of Arts laboratories have been equipped to enable the students' easier access to the facilities.
All postgraduate programs offered are on a fee-paying basis and cover a wide range of study areas. They provide applicants with advanced expertise in their select study areas and equip the student with an ability to apply advanced principles of the selected areas of study to everyday living.
PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COUNSELLING SERVICES
The Faculty has a Public Relations Office that provides information on any inquires made by personally visiting the office or sending email on
proarts@arts.mak.ac.ug. The Counselling Services is a professional service free of charge for all students who would like to confidentially discuss personal or academic issues affecting their general well being, their relationships and their learning.
