Course summary
The PhD in Socio-Cultural Studies helps students develop a sociologically informed and interdisciplinary exploration of sociocultural topics, theories and methodologies, to underpin ‘hands-on’ research in these areas of inquiry. Socio-cultural studies attracts people with social science backgrounds who wish to work on interdisciplinary topics, and also those from an arts or humanities background who want to gain skills and experience in social research. We play a leading role in large methodological initiatives hosted at Edinburgh, including one of the key UK units of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods and the Applied Quantitative Methods Network (AQMEN), as well as the University's Centres for Research on Families and Relationships, South Asian Studies and Canadian Studies.
