The School of Social Sciences consists of three core academic units: The Department of Psychology, the Department of Languages & Intercultural Studies and Edinburgh Business School (EBS), plus a School-wide Doctoral Centre. The School delivers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate taught and research degrees across the University’s Edinburgh, Dubai and Malaysia campuses, as well as through a range of high quality distance learning programmes. Research in the School is based around seven Research Centres, focusing on areas such as logistics and sustainability, data analytics and network analysis.

Our research covers an array of topics, with an increasing focus on methodology itself as a focus of enquiry. We manage all aspects of the PhD and DBA programmes in the School, including a Postgraduate Certificate that delivers innovative research methods education to our doctoral students through a flexible distance-learning model. We have aspirations to expand this, and are currently developing a Master’s programme in social science research methods. Members of the team also contribute to research methods teaching at undergraduate and PGT level across the School.
