Our faculty offers excellent support for research and research-related activities, and our academics are internationally recognised leaders in their fields – producing world-class research and scholarship across the social sciences.
The faculty actively cultivates an inter-school, interdisciplinary ethos, demonstrated by the numerous research groups and clusters operating at both school and faculty levels. We also lead two of the University’s Specialist Research Institutes – Migration Mobilities Bristol and the Bristol Poverty Institute – and work closely with the Bristol University Press, a leading publisher of social science research.
Studying with us opens the door to an exciting and wide-ranging array of career opportunities.
Our students are supported in developing their employability skills not only by the University’s Careers Service but also by our faculty’s own Professional Liaison Network. They coordinate a range of activities such as mentoring, work placements and networking events, designed to enhance your career prospects.
Our graduates go on to forge successful careers in all sectors, from academia and government to business, charities and international NGOs.
