Within the School, there is a breadth and depth of expertise and we can offer high-quality supervision across a wide range of social and public policy areas. 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 (see Methods of Social Research for details).
Contents
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. Individual staff are not listed for every research unit and centre – please visit for this information.

Faculty
The Tizard Centre is one of the leading UK academic groups working in learning disability and community care. Members of the Centre are selected both for their academic record and for their practical experience in services. The Centre provides short courses and degree and diploma programmes at the University of Kent, taught at both the Canterbury and Medway campuses, and also undertakes an extensive programme of consultancy and research - both nationally and internationally. The primary aims of the Tizard Centre are:
to advance knowledge about the relationship between the organisation of community care services and their outcomes, and
to help service agencies (both purchasers and providers) develop their own competence to provide and sustain high quality, comprehensive community care services
The Tizard Centre is part of the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
