The School is the UK’s national centre for the support and promotion of research in the humanities and social sciences. We unite 10 research institutes at the University of London to offer a unique and unmatched scholarly community in which to pursue postgraduate study and research.
Our students benefit from a friendly and supportive environment in Bloomsbury in central London, access to world-leading research resources and expertise, and the opportunity to participate and collaborate in our rich and diverse programme of academic events, research activities and networks.
We welcome around 300 postgraduate students each year, enrolled on taught Master’s and research degree programmes. Almost 40 per cent of our students are international, creating a stimulating environment for academic endeavour. Our graduates are awarded a University of London degree.
We offer postgraduate programmes in the following subject areas:
Culture, Language and Literature
History
Human Rights
Law
Politics, Development and International Relations
Professor Roger Kain, Dean and Chief Executive of the School of Advanced Study, provides an introduction to the School at its Postgraduate Open Day in February 2012.
