Welcome to the School of the Humanities and Social Sciences
The School of the Humanities and Social Sciences is one of six Schools in the University embracing a range of related disciplines. Our mission is to pursue excellence in teaching and research to the benefit of our students, academics and wider society.
With a diverse range of subject expertise, a thriving postdoctoral community and almost a third of the University’s postgraduate students, the School places great importance on the pursuit of interdisciplinary studies, including its stewardship of several interdisciplinary geographical research centres. In addition, the School supports two significant research collections in the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Whipple Museum.
