Faculty of Arts
The Faculty of Arts, founded in 1912, is one of the oldest and largest
faculties in the University. The Faculty is seeking to fill at least 15
academic positions. These posts have been created with two fundamental

entail, and to bring new impetus and vigour to the Faculty's research
development. The Faculty has set itself the goal of excelling in
interdisciplinary studies, in particular in cultural comparisons and cross
cultural discourse in relation to China and the West. The Faculty will be
appointing top scholars in all major Humanities programmes to achieve this
aim. Information about the Faculty of Arts can be obtained at
