Postgraduate
We offer a range of high quality postgraduate programmes that all build strongly on our research activities, especially in;
- international development,
- social policy,
- social work,
- sociology.
We have an excellent reputation for cutting edge research and innovative teaching. Our staff collaborate with a wide range of public and private organisations locally, nationally, and across the world.
Our postgraduate student community is international in both origin and outlook. Most students already have a relevant first degree in the social sciences, but we also welcome those switching from other fields if they have relevant experience and career goals.
Further information about funding opportunities and guidance on making an application can be found on the Graduate School website.
