We are the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde. Our graduates make a vital contribution to business, industry, and public services across Scotland and around the world. Our purpose is rooted in the belief that education transforms lives, and we are committed to delivering an inspiring and enriching student experience.
Within Humanities and Social Sciences, we explore the foundations of society and human behaviour. Studying with us deepens your understanding of how people think, act, and interact—insights highly valued by employers.
Our teaching is driven by research with real‑world impact. We foster a vibrant research culture, and our Graduate School brings together over 500 students from more than 30 countries, supported through specialised training and development.
Our departments span education, public policy, culture, justice, psychology, social work, and social policy.
