About Us

Dean's Welcome Message

The Faculty of Applied Social Sciences heartily welcomes you to HTU. We all know the adage by Zig Ziglar
and John C. Maxwell of how our altitude in life is shaped and determined by our attitude and not necessarily, our aptitude only. This saying is very true and factual. It is for the attitude towards a higher altitude that the Faculty of Applied Social Sciences (FASS) has been established to support the technical and vocational faculties. The faculty is a multidisciplinary one through which the University provides soft skills needed to augment the hard skill acquired for your career. The role of soft skills in the job market is very crucial for sustainability and career growth. At HTU, though we believe in the practical hard skill acquisition is key to the development of both the individual and the society at large, we place premium on inculcating soft skills such as communication skills and ethical conduct in students during their period of training in the university. These multi-soft skills are the lubricants that augment and help hone the hard skills of graduates who excel in their chosen career path. Faculty members in this faculty are warm and have your success and interest at heart. Do not hesitate to contact the faculty for any assistance to help shape your career.
