In the rapidly changing policy and practice context, the Department of Social Work & Social Care at the University of Sussex has a strong commitment to research and scholarship that influences and shapes policy and professional practice.
Our work - which achieved outstanding results in the 2008 RAE with 95 per cent of our research activity graded as world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised - is clustered within three research themes:
- The pedagogy of professional education
- Professional knowledge & methodologies
- Policy and practice across the lifecourse.
