- Department of Mathematics under the Faculty of Science,
- Department of English under the Faculty of Arts & Humanities,
- Department of Economics and Public Administration under the Faculty of Social Science,
- Three departments (Accounting & Information Systems, Management, Marketing) under the School of Business.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Gossip is charming! History is merely gossip. But scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
