Sociology Postgraduate Community

The Sociology department at Edinburgh has an active postgraduate research community that is involved in a variety of academic and social activities both within and beyond the department. A list of current sociology research students and their profiles can be found here.

As postgraduate students, we know it can be difficult arriving in a new place without knowing the wheres and hows and whys, so if you have questions about navigating university policy, finding your way around Edinburgh or how to find a good bar, contact us though the Sociology Society at the email address below.

Sociology Postgraduate Wiki

Whether you are new to Sociology at Edinburgh, or have been here for sometime, you may have questions about what to expect academically or socially, or how things work here. If so then check out the Sociology Postgraduate Wiki.

On the Wiki there is loads of useful information on living in Edinburgh and studying in the School of Social and Political Science. This is information existing postgraduate research students put together from their experience on what they would have found useful to know before arriving at Edinburgh Sociology for postgraduate studying. But if you have any further questions, please get in touch.

The Edinburgh Sociology Society

In addition to the formal representative structures in place, the Sociology Society (SocSoc), is an Edinburgh University Students' Association society for undergraduate and postgraduate students at Edinburgh and anyone else with an interest in sociology. The society runs both social and academic events across both semesters, so keep and eye out for posters around the School building and in email notifications that are sent out regularly.

If you would like more information about the society or are interested in becoming a member, please catch us during Freshers Week or at one of our events that run throughout the year. Or you can email us at: sociologysociety@hotmail.co.uk about anything at anytime.
