Introduction

The active Social Policy research base in the School ensures that staff who teach on this programme are involved in current Social Policy debates and that students are made aware of new developments and issues in the area. Each research student has an approved programme of research, supported by appropriate original research training.

Research students normally have two internal supervisors with specialist knowledge of Social Policy areas. They have regular meetings with them for advice, monitoring and other support and where appropriate, additional advisors may also be utilised. As a research student, you are able to contribute to the School’s internal seminar series and may also be involved in teaching.
