Exploring human behavior and social structures. As a premier institution for sociological research in the UK, our Department delivers globally respected social science education, preparing graduate students with versatile, practical abilities. PhD candidates should possess advanced methodological training. For those needing this foundation, we provide a one-year full-time or two-year part-time MRes in Social Science. Combined with the PhD, this forms our ESRC-accredited 13-stage graduate research curriculum. The MRes also functions as an independent qualification.
Full-time PhD researchers receive dedicated workstations with network access and departmental office space. All graduate students benefit from superior university computing resources and comprehensive library collections specializing in sociology and allied disciplines.
