Research Centre for Social Science
Welcome
The Research Centre for Social Sciences, which opened in May 2013, reflects the University of York's long-standing excellence in the social sciences. Reflecting an investment of some £2m, the RCSS becomes the principal site for research training at disciplinary and interdisciplinary levels, offers dedicated facilities for research, and new provision for workshop, visitors, and conferences. It is the home of the ESRC Doctoral Training Centre and provides exceptionally high-quality accommodation for PhD students from across the campus. The social science community at York is recognised as one of the most significant within the UK and internationally in regard to the contribution it makes, and we welcome colleagues and students to visit the Centre, to participate in its many activities, and to continue to build on our success.

Director - Research Centre for Social Sciences
