About the school
As a dynamic and collaborative community, the Faculty of Social Sciences offers an inclusive, flexible, and challenging academic environment where everyone can thrive.

Spanning many key areas of knowledge, the faculty provides a vibrant and stimulating environment in which to study the social sciences, helping our students understand society and the manner in which people behave and impact on the world around us. Our aim is to help you go on to make a positive impact on individuals, communities, organisations, and companies, both in the UK and globally.

The Faculty of Social Sciences is home to the School of Psychology, the School of Criminal Justice, the School of Law, and the School of Policing, Cybercrime, and Security. 

Whichever area of the social sciences ignites your passion, when you join us you'll be taught by our leading academics, who have both academic and practitioner experience and who place your interests and future goals at the heart of everything they do.
