The School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) was formed in September 2004 when the School of Social Sciences and the School of Cultural and Innovation Studies merged. HSS spans a wide range of interdisciplinary programmes and research interests, drawing upon the humanities and social sciences, to create an academic and intellectual environment that focuses upon the creative, cultural and information technology industries, social policy, social work and the social sciences.
The new School has over 150 staff, 2,250 on-campus students and about 800 students studying off-campus. It has nearly 80 PhD students and houses twelve research centres. The School is based at the University of East London's new Docklands campus, which incorporates a new Learning Resources Centre, a Multimedia Production Centre (MPC) and is the home of the Knowledge Dock Centre.
These webpages provide information about the teaching, research, production and other activities of HSS. Information about the latest news and events in the School, including conferences and seminars, can be accessed from the right hand column. Cross-links will sometimes move you from the HSS webpages to another area of UEL's website - be sure to bookmark this site so that you can return to it easily and quickly.
