School of Social Sciences

We are internationally recognised for our research and teaching across the social sciences.

We produce cutting edge applied research, and work closely with governments, public bodies and multilateral organisations including the United Nations, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Commission, the Quakers, and others.   

Our mission is to provide a research informed education environment that embraces a commitment to excellence in teaching and an applied contribution to social and economic issues at local, regional, national and global levels.
