Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) of Kardan University is home to the departments of Bachelors in Political Science (BPS), Bachelors in Journalism (BJ), and Masters in International Relations (MIR). FSS has been established to cater for needs of Afghanistan in the fields of Political Science, International Relations, and Media with an understanding that Afghanistan needs professionals and experts of the three fields much more than they are available in the market.

All three departments, and thus FSS, strive to become the leaders in their respective fields by providing excellent education, research and innovation. The focus is therefore on knowledge, skills and attitude that suits a leader and enable him/her to innovate in finding solutions to the many problems Afghanistan has to cope with in the three major areas.
