Department of Languages and Communication Studies
The Department of Languages and Communication Studies plays a strategic role within the Faculty of Social Sciences, particularly due to the significance of Kiswahili in East Africa and beyond. Kiswahili is crucial for regional integration, trade, education, and diplomacy. While the department does not offer standalone programs, it contributes expertise to the Department of Education and Teaching, supporting the teaching of Kiswahili and English. The department’s focus on Kiswahili ensures that future educators are well-equipped to teach the language both locally and internationally, where demand is growing. Kiswahili’s importance as a medium of instruction and cultural exchange continues to grow, and the department's efforts align with this trend. Its expertise in communication and language skills further enhances students' academic and professional success. Through these contributions, the department strengthens Mzumbe University’s role in promoting Kiswahili as a key educational and cultural asset. Through these diverse programs, the Faculty of Social Sciences at Mzumbe University is dedicated to fostering academic excellence, professional growth, and societal impact. We aim to develop graduates who are not only well-prepared for their careers but also capable of addressing the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century with integrity and professionalism.
