SPSW at York is one of the leading UK centres for teaching and research in social policy, social work and applied social science. The most recent national review of our research – the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise – placed us in the top five of large departments in the country. We pride ourselves on the calibre of our academic staff, the majority of whom have been assessed as either ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’.

We have a wide and exciting range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and are strongly committed to supporting our students throughout their degrees, particularly through the system of individualised personal supervision. We offer a stimulating teaching and research environment in an open, informal and friendly setting. The Department is pleased to welcome students and researchers from all over the world, as well as the UK.
