School of Sociology and Social Policy Vision and Strategy 2023-2030

Our Vision

Together, we will shape a future where knowledge serves humanity, and education empowers change.

At the School of Sociology and Social Policy (SSP), our vision is to be a globally recognised centre of excellence in critical, engaged research and transformative education.

We will lead with purpose, compassion, and integrity – addressing the most urgent social challenges of our time through research and scholarship that is inclusive, impactful, and future-focused.

We value a vibrant academic community where students, staff, and partners collaborate to create knowledge that matters locally and globally.

Our commitment is to empower students not only to understand the world but actively to shape it. Through rigorous academic training, ethical awareness, and practical engagement, we prepare graduates to thrive in an era of complexity, inequality, and rapid change.
