Department of Humanities & Language Education (DHLE)

The department of Humanities and Language education (DHLE) Makerere university is a vibrant and inclusive community, teaching and researching at the cutting edge of a wide range of subjects. We bring together experts in: communications, creative writing; drama, education (including teacher training); local, regional and modern languages; and philosophy. All our subjects engage with how they affect society and culture today.

The size and scope of the School enables our staff and students to develop interests in their own field and across subjects. Our location in makerere means we have partnerships with local and regional organisations, while being firmly rooted in the local community through our work with employers, community groups and schools.

Our students are taught by well grounded staff and develop skills of communication, analysis, critical thinking and research which are highly valued by employers. Our students regularly gain practical experience.

The department offers some of the fastest-growing and highest-demand linguistic programs in the region today. It also provides short courses with certificates at different levels: Beginner Level, Elementary Level, Intermediate Level, and Advanced Level.
