Who Are We?
The Faculty of Science was first established in 1975 under the name of Faculty of Science and Engineering with Law No. 1873. Its name was changed to the Faculty of Science and Literature in 1982, and it continued its educational, instructional, and research activities under this name until 2022. On July 26, 2022, with Presidential Decree No. 5868, it was restructured under the name of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS) is a leading educational institution committed to contemporary, humane, and ethical values through educational, scientific, cultural, and artistic activities. It analyzes the conditions created by social, political, and economic transformations that accompany humanity's technological development on Earth, interprets them in accordance with the requirements of our era, and contributes to science in national and international fields while meeting the needs of society. Our Faculty currently has 2,628 students and qualified, young, and dynamic teaching staff trained in their respective fields. With its 24 Professors, 22 Associate Professors, 27 Assistant Professors, 29 Research Assistants, and 7 Lecturers, it is one of the important faculties of our university. Currently, a total of 2 departments have been accredited under FEDEK. Accreditation preparations are ongoing for the remaining six departments.

What Facilities and Opportunities Do We Offer?
In order to create a dynamic and rapidly responsive structure rather than a static structure obstructing innovations, the Faculty tries to improve its curriculum, staff, and technical infrastructure and deepens its educational approach to create an active faculty design. In this respect, our Faculty, consisting of Archeology, Geography, Philosophy, Psychology, Art History, Sociology, History, and Turkish Language and Literature Departments, offers rich curricula to students by encouraging interdisciplinary studies with double "major" and "minor" programs.
What Are Our Programs and Job Opportunities?
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences trains qualified individuals in many fields of science with its departments of Archaeology, Geography, Philosophy, Psychology, Art History, Sociology, History, Turkish Language, and Literature. Graduates can work in their fields of expertise in both the public and private sectors. Many choose to pursue graduate studies at various universities domestically or internationally and even become academic staff.
What Exchange Programs Do We Offer to Our Students?
The Faculty has student exchange agreements within the framework of the Erasmus + Program. Our students actively benefit from these exchange programs and contribute to expanding their perspectives on their fields of expertise with the experiences they gain. Web: https://erasmus.omu.edu.tr/
In What Ways Do We Support the Professional, Cultural, and Social Atmosphere?
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, which has many different opportunities for academic development, also creates suitable environments for the development of students in social, cultural, and sports fields. Student clubs established within the university also play an essential role in supporting the professional, cultural, and social atmosphere. There are two types of community structures classified into professional and social categories within our university's body of the Directorate of Health, Culture, and Sports. Professional associations are specific to faculties, while social associations are of a general nature. In this context, the Archeology Student Society, Geography Student Society, Art History Student Society, Sociology Student Society, and Psychology Student Society established within our Faculty contribute to the development of students. Our students have organized numerous events and activities within these communities so far.
