For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies The School represents a commitment by the University to enhancing teaching and research in Area Studies. It brings together seven units: the African Studies Centre, the Latin American Centre (including the Brazilian Studies Programme), the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, the Contemporary China Studies Programme, Russian and East European Studies, the Contemporary South Asia Studies Programme and the Middle East Programme. The administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing administrative support across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based (including the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China Centre at St Hugh’s College). The School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand the complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history, sociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the separate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and countries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive feature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a disciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research quality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading (4*) research than any other Area Studies department in the UK. 5 The School admits around 160 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the African Studies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East European Studies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, Middle East Studies, and the comparative Master’s programme in Global and Area Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff supervise doctoral students and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the University. Further information about the OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk The School holds a Bronze Athena Swan Award to recognise the advancement of gender equality, representation and progression.

Research on modern and contemporary China is thriving at Oxford University and the China Studies programme is a vibrant focal point of activity, supporting students, postdoctoral research fellows and faculty members working in the School and in Chinese Studies across the University on interdisciplinary study of contemporary China.

The CCSP brings together expertise and scholarship on China from across the social sciences, including economics, politics, international relations, sociology, anthropology and Chinese history. The programme facilitates collaboration between students, post-doctoral research fellows and faculty members from across the university, as well as with other academics, researchers and policymakers from around the world 6 who share a passion for the study of contemporary China and a focus on producing ground-breaking interdisciplinary research. The programme offers two master’s degrees jointly with the Faculty of Oriental Studies, a 9 month MSc Course in Contemporary Chinese Studies and a two year MPhil in Modern Chinese Studies, which together bring about 25 students per year to Oxford. The CCSP’s MSc in Contemporary Chinese Studies (previously the MSc in Modern Chinese Studies) brings more than 20 exceptionally talented students to Oxford per year and provides high-quality graduate research training to those who wish to deepen their understanding of contemporary China, welcoming applications from both recent graduates and returning professionals. The programme organises frequent seminars, workshops, colloquia and conferences to develop, share, and disseminate the latest thinking on China, whilst also hosting a number of visiting academics from across the world who wish to access the unrivalled research resources in Chinese studies available at Oxford. A limited number of fellowships and other forms of financial support are available to postgraduate students concentrating on the study of contemporary China within the social sciences. For more information please visit https://www.ccsp.ox.ac.uk. The 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 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a worldleading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. 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. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide rang e of governmental and nongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public 7 health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitivelyawarded 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, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. 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 professionallyoriented 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 Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
