The School’s mission is "to provide an educational environment which promotes a culture of critical intellectual and practice enquiry in the social sciences based upon participation, inclusion and diversity".  This mission statement is underpinned by the objective of making equality an integral part of the intellectual, cultural, social and economic life of the University.  The School believes that quality is best achieved through the pursuit of equality, based upon the principles of student participation, lifelong learning, community involvement and open access.
