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 assessments, we were awarded the highest possible ranking of "excellent" for teaching quality and 65% of our research output was classed as “internationally excellent”, with nearly a third being “world class”.

We offer five postgraduate taught courses, which focus on either training for work or continuing on to academic research. All of 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 into their teaching.
