World societies and economies are transforming. It's our job to understand that change and to make a positive contribution to human welfare, security and sustainability.
The Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy, which was established in 2001, is home to one of the largest UK university communities for social research and education. We have world-leading expertise across the social sciences: from political economy to security studies; from international development and geography to global health, education and communication. We want our knowledge to matter in the world and believe this can be achieved by collaboration on real-world problems, combining insights and methods from across the disciplines.
Our students are central to our academic enterprise. We make impacts by giving you the confidence and skills to embrace and shape change and through our connected and engaged research.
We take an international approach to advancing social science scholarship. Our teaching and research community includes politicians, business leaders, policy-makers, activists and teachers in London, the UK, Europe and internationally, while our students come from about 130 countries.
