Faculty of Social Sciences - ICOSS building


Created when the University restructured in 2008, we are one of five faculties within the University of Sheffield. Our departments support some 350 academic/non-academic staff and 4,000 students.

In 2009, six of our departments relocated to new or refurbished buildings forming a close-knit Arts and Humanities group around the Humanities Research Institute, in the city centre and right at the heart of the University campus.
