Welcome from the Head of School, Professor Sarah-Jane Page
Welcome to the School of Sociology and Social Policy – I am delighted that you have chosen to study with us, and that your prior success has enabled you to continue your academic journey with us.
We are a vibrant, energetic, friendly school. Our social science degree programmes have an exciting range of modules, with learning opportunities that will take you beyond the classroom. I hope that you make the most of the opportunities on offer. Our degrees are designed to not only give you a set of skills and knowledge which will be highly attractive to future employers but will support you in developing your own vision of the world.
Indeed, the world we live in is complex and fast-changing, resulting in significant challenges at the individual, local, national and global level. Social science has a vital role to play in understanding social change, to reflect a diversity of viewpoints and to provide the education and research which will make a positive contribution to our future. You will contribute to that future, and studying here will help you to become part of the change you want to see. These are exciting times for studying social science.
I hope that you enjoy your time with us, that you meet new people, embrace opportunities for new and different experiences and discover fresh understandings of the world we share.
Ultimately, I trust that your education at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will challenge, stimulate and inspire you.

Message from Rachael Clawson, Director for the Centre for Social Work
Dear social work students,
Whether you are new to the Centre for Social Work or returning to study with us, I would like to start by offering a very warm welcome for the new academic year. The Centre for Social Work team are really looking forward to seeing you and are excited about what this new academic year will hold.
Social work is a rewarding, diverse and challenging profession, underpinned by a rich and dynamic history of advocating for social justice. Now, perhaps more than ever, there is an unprecedented need for compassionate, motivated and ethical social workers. We are thrilled to be part of your journey with you.
