Social Policy has been taught in Edinburgh for more than a century, and we have a rich tradition of supervising students towards higher degrees as a route to careers in academia, social research and public policy. Today our group is at the heart of the scholarly community in social policy in Scotland and the UK, but also resolutely turned towards the wider world. Our highly regarded research draws on a variety of disciplinary perspectives and is methodologically diverse, spanning the full range of social science methods from action research to advanced quantitative approaches. We are committed to scholarly advancement but also to the dissemination of our work beyond the academy to generate non-academic impact and effect social change.
