- Organisation of Industry and Commerce (1925)
- Psychology (1931)
- Geography (1931)

- Urban Design and Regional Planning (1964)

Following restructuring in 2002, the university's nine Faculties were reconstituted as three Colleges, while Departments were reorganised and replaced by Schools. The Departments previously contained within the Faculty of Social Sciences were incorporated in the following Schools of the newly founded College of Humanities and Social Science:
- Business School
- Economics
- Health in Social Science
- Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences
- Social and Political Science
(The Department of Archaeology was transferred from the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Social Sciences in 1993. It is now part of the School of History, Classics and Archaeology in the College of Humanities and Social Science.)
