The School of Social Sciences is one of the Schools of the
Faculty of Health, Life and Social Sciences. Our aims
are to combine high quality teaching with high quality
research and to develop the synergies between these two
activities. The School is a significant teaching
centre for undergraduate degrees, providing single
honours degrees and a wide range of joint honours
programmes with other departments and schools. |

Postgraduate teaching and supervision of research degrees are an expanding area of activity. Staff in the School have wide experience of designing, managing and delivering high quality, vocationally relevant courses. It is our aim to provide students with good employment prospects and to equip them to become lifelong learners.
Many of the School's students engage in voluntary work during their time at the University, providing themselves with additional experience and wider interests and at the same time benefiting the local community. This reflects the close links between the School, its subjects and the everyday world.
The School has links with higher education providers in a variety of countries and for many programmes it is possible to study abroad for a period. In addition, we attract a variety of external visitors each year, both from the UK and overseas and students are often able to benefit from this. Staff from the School are active within their academic communities, providing yet another resource to support teaching and the work of the School. For example, in April 2004 the School hosted the Political Studies Association's annual conference, bringing academics from the UK and many other countries to Lincoln.
The
School of Social Sciences also participates actively in a wide
variety of initiatives, within the University and nationally,
around both teaching and learning and research. Current examples
include involvement with two £250,000 FDTL projects. Further
