Welcome to the website of the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy

The School was formed in 2005 and comprises the Departments of Economics, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology, together with the Policy Institute.

Economics	Philosophy	Political Science	Sociology	Policy Institute

The School has an international reputation in research and is committed to the dissemination of its knowledge and expertise to the benefit of the wider community, with the Policy Institute providing an important channel for policy analysis and evaluation.

The School is home to the unique undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Political Science, Economics and Sociology (PPES). It also contributes to undergraduate degrees in Business, Economic and Social Studies (this includes Political Science and Sociology), Philosophy, History and Political Science, Philosophy and Political Science, Law and Political Science, Geography and Political Science, Sociology and Social Policy, European Studies and to the Two Subject Moderatorship (TSM) programmes in Economics, Philosophy and Sociology.

Over 100 graduate students are conducting research across the four disciplines and postgraduate taught courses are on offer in the departments of Economics, Political Science and Sociology. I hope that you find the website useful. Feel free to contact us for any further information.
