For more information please visit: www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation 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 world-leading 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 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). 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 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, thirteen 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 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 Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science. For more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk. Department of Education The Department of Education is a research-led Department, carrying out research which is of relevance not only to academics in the field of Education and related disciplines, but also to teachers, teacher educators, other education professionals, and policy makers. Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 70 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 30 full-time and part-time administrative and professional staff, and around 740 students, of whom more than 300 are studying part-time. Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan new studies with colleagues. The externally-funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 30 students per year. Over the last 15 years, the Department of Education has grown in size and shape. We currently offer the following courses: ▪ MSc in Education with 5 different pathways: Comparative and International Education; Higher Education; Child Development; Digital and Social Change; Research Design and Methodology ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) ▪ MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) ▪ MSc in Teacher Education ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching (ALLT) ▪ MSc in Educational Assessment ▪ MSc in Medical Education ▪ The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ▪ A comprehensive Doctoral (DPhil) programme attracting students from all over the world The PGCE is a one-year teacher training programme for around 150 graduates delivering secondary trained teachers in eight key subject areas (English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Modern Languages). It is undertaken in close partnership with local secondary schools. The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 115 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distance-learning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education. The MSc Medical Education began in 2021 and is a two-year course which offers a combination of faceto-face teaching and online support for those involved in medical education. The doctoral programme (DPhil) has over 150 registered DPhil students, including a number of part-time students, researching in a diverse range of areas.
