Department of Social Policy and Intervention The Department of Social Policy and Intervention is a multidisciplinary, social science centre of excellence for research and teaching in comparative social policy and evidence-based social intervention and policy evaluation. In the UK-wide 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), it was a top-five scoring department in the country, across all subjects and universities, with 62 per cent of the Department’s research activity classified as ‘world leading’ (4*) with a further 30 per cent classed as ‘internationally excellent’ (3*). In the most recent QS World University Rankings by Subject (2022) the Department ranked second in Social Policy and Administration globally. The Department has undergone substantial transformation in recent years. This renewal includes the expansion of graduate teaching and supervision in policy evaluation and comparative social policy; significant expansion in research income; and the creation of new research groups and areas of research expertise. The Department's teaching is largely devoted to graduate students. It offers master’s degrees in Comparative Social Policy (CSP) and in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation (EBSIPE). Students may study for either a one-year MSc or a two-year MPhil. The Department also offers supervision for doctoral degrees in Social Policy or in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation. The graduate intake is highly international with students drawn from the United Kingdom, EU member states, and many countries across the world. Research within the Department is largely organised under the auspices of two main research groups: • • The Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention (CEBI) The Oxford Institute of Social Policy (OISP) More information about the department can be found at www.spi.ox.ac.uk. 3 Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties, and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Powers, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights, and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance, and justice. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development, and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners, and supporters, with competitively awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business School, with all our other departments either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally oriented provision in areas such as business, law, and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the master’s level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
