Location of University of Bristol
With effect from 1st August 2010, the Department of Politics, Department of Sociology and Centre for East Asian Studies merged to create the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS) within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law. All new research students will benefit from the opportunity to have supervisors allocated from within the new School. Please also refer to the staff profiles in Sociology and the Centre for East Asian Studies when considering possible supervisors.
The School's vibrant research culture is fostered by a long-established commitment to research excellence, an expanding commitment to collaborative research in the UK and abroad, and the promotion of overlapping research interests among staff and postgraduate students.
The University Arts and Social Sciences Library has excellent holdings in all major research areas, and the Department has excellent research facilities including networked computers and study space, for postgraduate research students.
