Social sciences
today have spread into more and more specialised disciplines, which deal
with different aspects of social life of the people in a society. The
compartmentalisation of social sciences into various disciplines does
not, however, negate the fundamental characteristics that it deals with
social facts in whatever context we may study them. What makes the
modern social sciences different is the method of discovering facts and
figures. In spite of practical difficulties faced by social scientists
in maintaining objectivity in the collection of facts, the coherence of
social phenomenon and the profound unity of social sciences have never
been seriously doubted.
Developing
nations such as Pakistan are making their utmost
effort to modernise themselves in order to achieve dynamic social
institutions that are capable of solving their complex and diversified
problems. Development, therefore, both economic and social, has become a
keyword in the community of developing nations in the present era. It is
not only a process of change, but it also signifies the plans and
policies of government as well as other business and commercial
institutions to find ways and means for satisfying the rising
expectations of the people.
In
Pakistan, there is a dire need of
diverting the efforts of development on scientific lines, which means a
concrete and deliberate emphasis on rational process of working in human
organisations and manipulation of resources towards the attainment of
desirable goals. The Faculty of Social Sciences at UOG has designed its
academic programmes keeping in view this need.
UOG has planned
close liaison and linkages with public and private sector organisations
in order to facilitate the transition of the students from theory to
practice for facing the real life problems in a dynamic working
environment with courage, conviction and confidence. The students are
provided with an equal opportunity to learn research methods, designing
of studies, data collection, analysis of findings and report writing.
They can apply the learnt knowledge in the practical field to meet the
prerequisites for individual development.
The Faculty of
Social Sciences has the following four departments that offer different
courses:
