Course summary

The School of Applied Social and Policy Sciences has a vibrant and multi-disciplinary research environment, which is home to a wide range of research projects that tackle important questions in the social sciences. We have an excellent international reputation for producing high quality research which has global impact. Our work is centred around three key themes: persistent and emerging socio-economic challenges, policy and practice in divided societies, and national global social justice. If you are interested in pursuing doctoral research in Politics and Public Policy at Ulster University, you can be confident that you’ll be joining a community of committed researchers whose work is internationally recognized, both within academia, third sector organizations and civic society. Their work engages with pressing issues impacting transitional societies and intersects with questions of socio-economic inequities, asymmetries of voice and access to political processes and issues with (de)democratization, peace building and political violence. We aim to cultivate an intellectually rich and stimulating environment to encourage our students to push the boundaries of disciplinary understandings.
