Philosophy

In the department of Public Administration and Management, we believe that:

Psychological literacy among our students is key to contributing instructively to the field of applied psychology.
The pursuit of scientific research as both a tool for practice and teaching should be encouraged and emphasized.
Teaching and learning should be rigorous process that enshrines in the student a belief that hard work indeed leads to great results and corruption will only further degrade the society.
Every student is unique and exceptional, it is our job as lecturers to identify, nurture and encourage the genius in each and every one of our students.
An open and supportive learning environment is instrumental to the growth and development of any student and as such, transparency is highly encouraged in the department.

Core Values
