About the school


Welcome to the School of Sociology and Social Policy.

Our school has a broad and active research programme that both informs and enlightens our academic teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Hosting a number of substantial and vibrant research centres, we received the second highest position in the country in terms of 'world-leading' research (4*) in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.

Please take a look around our site to discover what kind of research we do, and what type of postgraduate and undergraduate degrees we offer.
