Postgraduate studies: Taught Masters degrees
Our department has a reputation for excellence in teaching and research across the disciplines of Sociology, Social Policy, Social Work and Social Anthropology.
In the most recent national assessments, we were awarded the highest possible ranking of "excellent" for teaching quality and grade 5 for research. As a result we have strong research links throughout the world with close links with national and international policy makers.
Our large postgraduate community enjoys excellent facilities, including fully networked computers, a library, postgraduate rooms with personal desks and computers, video and audio recording equipment, and our own lecture and seminar rooms.
We offer four postgraduate taught courses, which focus on either training for work or continuing on to academic research. All our taught courses are informed by our vibrant research culture so what you learn is based on the very latest developments in the field. In addition, our academic and research staff often engage in external consultancies, bringing the latest knowledge in practice to their teaching.
