As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow's greatest challenges.

Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.


The School of Social and Political Science (SPS) is one of the largest and most successful schools of social science in the UK, with global reach and local and global impact.

Our goals are to promote excellence in education, research and innovation.

The School comprises six Subject Areas plus a number of research and teaching centres and institutes, and a number of cross-Subject consortia and other units.

The academic staff complement currently numbers c.200fte. Our staff profile is multi-disciplinary across the key social sciences with a strong and growing international orientation. The School has c. 1,100 undergraduate students on its programmes of study, over 500 taught postgraduates, and over 300 doctoral researchers.


In REF 2014, the School returned 96% of its eligible staff from Professors to early career researchers; a strategy that combined excellence with inclusion.

All four Units of Assessment to which SPS contributed were rated amongst the top eight in the UK, and number one in Scotland, for their breadth and quality of research.

Overall 36% of our research activity was classified as world leading with a further 41% assessed as internationally excellent.

For two of those four Units of Assessment - Politics and International Relations, and Social Policy and Social Work - the whole of the research environment achieved the highest possible rating and was judged to be world leading.
