Curriculum details
Humanities at +2 combines compulsory subjects with stream-specific options. The college timetable introduces social theory at a beginner level, research basics, and writing practice that helps you organize ideas. You learn to read statistics in context without heavy jargon. Projects involve observation logs, short interviews, or document reviews that teach you to record facts carefully and protect privacy.
Students practice summaries, response papers, and short research notes. The class reviews topic sentences, transitions, and citation basics so your writing stays clean and readable. A presentation cycle trains you to speak to a time limit and answer focused questions. This routine supports board exam preparation and readies you for university interviews.
Objectives
The stream sets five goals:
-
strengthen reading and writing skills for academic and public audiences
-
introduce core ideas from sociology, psychology, economics, and media
-
teach basic inquiry methods and ethical considerations in field tasks
-
build confidence in presenting, moderating, and note-taking
-
prepare students for bachelor’s programs in social sciences and communication
Scope
Humanities connects across sectors. Students move toward social work, education, development communication, local governance, research assistance, and media roles. The stream also pairs well with language-heavy majors such as English or journalism. The skill mix—writing, observation, and analysis—travels well into many first-year university modules, which require clear essays and structured short answers.
Learning outcomes
Students learn to:
-
craft paragraphs with strong topic sentences and plain language
-
read tables and charts and explain what the numbers mean for people’s lives
-
conduct simple interviews with consent and keep accurate notes
-
analyze social issues without stereotyping or exaggeration
-
deliver short talks supported by slides or cue cards
Skill development modules
Weekly writing clinics focus on clarity and citation. You practice turning messy notes into a one-page brief. Group projects teach division of tasks, deadline management, and respectful feedback. A media-literacy mini-module trains you to check sources and avoid copying. Teachers include short “method drills” that introduce observation, sampling at a classroom scale, and data entry basics.
Teaching methodology
Faculty use guided reading, workshop-style writing, and iterative feedback. Classes begin with a clear question, move through a reading or mini-lecture, and end with a written response or small presentation. Teachers highlight common pitfalls—run-on sentences, unsupported claims, and vague phrasing—and show how to fix them. Students learn to revise work without losing their voice.
Admission requirements
Applicants submit SEE or equivalent credentials and meet the college’s process for stream placement. Counselling helps you choose a subject set that matches your plans, such as pairing sociology with psychology, or economics with media studies. The office publishes intake-specific details on seats, forms, and deadlines. Students transferring from another curriculum receive guidance on equivalence.
Career opportunities
Ten Plus Two Humanities leads to bachelor’s degrees that point toward:
-
social services and community programs
-
school support, counselling assistant roles, and youth engagement
-
development communication and media writing

language-intensive work such as editing, translation support, and content roles

Scholarships and financial aid
Scholarship categories and seat counts are announced each session. Awards consider academic records and stream placement results. The college lists document checklists and dates during admission. Students can request counselling on longer-term plans, including undergraduate scholarships and entrance preparation after Grade 12.
