As public affairs professionals we are passionate about being knowledge brokers, bridging the gap between the latest academic research and effectively informing regional and national policy.
"The enduring role of Social Sciences is to understand and improve how people live and experience their lives. This is mission critical if we are to tackle the socio-economic challenges of the twenty-first century – including the climate emergency, health and wellbeing, education inequalities, economic productivity, geopolitical conflict, and population displacement, to name only a few prominent examples.
Research from the College of Social Science addresses these challenges head-on by producing world-class evidence-based, data-driven, policy recommendations – with that brings the opportunity to create real-world impact and change, driven by a collective passion and determination to create a fairer world for all."
Professor Nick Vaughan-Williams, Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of Social Sciences
