Internationally renowned for its research excellence, the University has a vibrant research student community of around 1200 students supported by a £6 million annual investment. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, every department was found to be undertaking research that is internationally recognised, with many regarded as ‘world leading’. Comfortably ranked in the top 20 of all major university league tables, the University was voted The Times Higher Education ‘Best Student Experience’ in England for six years running.

The School includes world class disciplinary teams in the areas of Communication and Media Studies; Criminology and Social Policy; Geography; Politics, History, and International Relations; Social Psychology, and Sociology, ranging across three Departments. The School is host to many international research centres and groups, including a recently awarded Natural Environment Research Council doctoral training centre, and runs advanced training workshops for postgraduate students. New students will play a vital role in the School’s interdisciplinary research community.

Interested candidates are advised to contact staff members with relevant expertise well in advance of the deadline to discuss their project proposal (5-6 pages), which should include a statement of research aims, literature review and proposed methodology.
