Ne öğreneceğim?

The Faculty of Social Sciences was established in 1967 and has since undergone rapid expansion and significant transformation. Today, the Faculty comprises the Departments of Geography, Politics and Public Administration, Psychology, Social Work and Social Administration, and Sociology and the Journalism and Media Studies Centre. It also has seven multidisciplinary research centres/units that provide a platform for research interaction and collaboration among colleagues on campus and in the wider world.

At the postgraduate level, the Faculty offers 23 taught programmes including doctoral degree programmes in Public Administration and Psychology. There are also around 250 MPhil and PhD students in the Faculty.

To reinforce the strength of its research degree programmes leading to the award of MPhil and PhD degrees, the Faculty has identified 16 research clusters in which it is particularly keen to recruit research degree students. Building on the established research strengths of the Faculty, these are

• China Studies
• Comparative Asian and International Studies
• Criminology
• Culture and Heritage
• Environment, Urban Planning and Sustainable Development
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Media
• Methodology
• Nonprofit Management and Civil Society
• Political Theory and Philosophy
• Population and Mental Health
• Psychosocial Intervention and Processes
• Public and Social Policy, and Governance
• Public Policy
• Social and Cognitive Neuroscience
• Transnationalism and Global Migration

The Faculty has identified four strategic directions for future development: China studies; NGOs and civil society; social and cognitive neuroscience; and public policy. In our work in these four areas we aspire to be world-leading, to develop Areas of Excellence, and to leverage our interdisciplinary approach to social science.
