The University of Nottingham is one of the oldest centres of social science education in the UK.
In 1948 it was the first UK university to appoint a Professor of Social Administration to the newly established Department of Social Administration. A Professor of Sociology was appointed in 1964 and a separate Department of Sociology founded soon after.
The Centre for Social Work has been offering professional social work programmes since the 1950s and joined the two departments in 1987 to form the current School.
