Social Work and Social Policy Research Themes

We are committed to knowledge exchange and to bridging the gap between policy and practice development.

As part of the School of Applied Social and Policy Sciences, Politics and International Studies researchers continue to engage in critical issues affecting our political and social environments.

Staff within the social work team at Ulster University are engaged in research with practitioners and services users in Northern Ireland and internationally.

Our work focuses on issues in Ireland, the UK and internationally, bridging the gap between local and global experiences.

This research theme is about promoting a community-based, problem-solving approach.
