Social Sciences are needed more than ever to make sense of profound social changes and challenges.

We provide the analysis and evidence needed for solutions to complex social problems and provide students with the knowledge and skills to play a full and active part in contemporary society.

Everything we do has a purpose and is expressed through our research, teaching and civic engagement.

We take a lead role in understanding the challenges facing society today, helping inform the policy choices that will improve the quality of our social lives, and offering a vision of a better future.

The vision for the School is built around the pillars of:

  • bringing disciplines together to research key global challenges
  • providing an outstanding student experience
  • educating the professionals of tomorrow
  • championing civic engagement
