Our social work researchers are leading the field in a range of key social work research domains including mental health, child and family services, and forced migration. We have excellent links with leading professional bodies, policy making organisations and professional and social work services in statutory and voluntary sectors throughout Scotland and the UK.

We also have a number of partnerships with agencies and organisations providing social work in the Global South.

The research interests of staff cover the full range of applied service specialisms and theoretical issues in social work.

In Scotland this includes:

• criminal justice
• children and families
• vulnerable adults
• community care

International and European perspectives are also part of academic staff interests, and staff have particular expertise in migration and refugee studies and global mental health.

Our work is enriched by the perspective of both international students and UK/EU students who are experienced professionals studying part-time while working.
