About

The Migration Studies programme from University of Kent offers high-quality supervision across a wide range of social and public policy areas seeking to research and examine causes and effects of global mobility.

Overview

Key Features

There are further details on the research activities and publications of individual members of staff and the School’s research units on the website. In addition to regular meetings with individual supervisors, all research students take a research training programme.

The School has a long and distinguished history, and is one of the largest and most successful social science research communities in Europe. In the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, 100% of our Social work and social policy research was classified as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ for impact and environment.

The Migration Studies programme from University of Kent supports a large and thriving postgraduate community and in 2010 distributed in excess of £100,000 in Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) quota awards, and in University and SSPSSR bursaries and scholarships to new students.

Colleagues specialise in research of international, comparative and theoretical significance, and we have collective strengths in the following areas: civil society, NGOs and the third sector; cross-national and European social policy; health, social care and health studies; work, employment and economic life; risk, ‘risk society’ and risk management; race, ethnicity and religion; social and public policy; sociology and the body; crime, culture and control; sociological theory and the culture of modernity.

Programme Structure

Research areas:

  • The School and its Social Policy component have several research units which act as a focus for postgraduate students working within those areas. 
  • Other research interests within the School have been grouped under certain headings for guidance. 
  • However, there is a degree of overlap between groups and your research project does not have to fall neatly within any one of them.
