In the academic year 22/23, the FoSS recorded a total of approximately 11,500 on-campus students, of which 7,666 are undergraduates, 3,536 are postgraduates and 346 are postgraduate-research students. For the same period, the departments were staffed by approximately 1,400 people, of which 816 are academic staff and 563 are professional staff. In 2022, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide named the University of Warwick as University of the Year for Teaching Quality. For 2024, its Department of Economics ranked 1st in the UK for the second year running, while for 2023, the Warwick Business School's (WBS) Global Online MBA and MSc Management programmes earned 1st and 2nd places respectively.Globally, the University ranked in the top 25 within four subject areas including Business & Management Studies and Economics & Econometrics, according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023. The University wishes to build on this success and ensure the that the Faculty of Social Sciences can continue to perform as a world leading faculty, as a part of a world class institution. With the Social Sciences Connect Programme (SSCP), the aim is to create a coherent Social Sciences Quarter that brings the departments closer together and strengthens their common identity while establishing a prominent 'gateway' at the campus's northern entrance.SSCP is an enabler to position Warwick as a regional, national, and international powerhouse for social scientific enquiry with real-world application and impact. The SSCP does so by creating Warwick Social Sciences (WSS) as an institution-wide vehicle to enhance the strength of our constituent disciplines, to promote new interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation across research and education, and to compete globally as a dynamic and distinctive world[1]class institution. The first phase in the SSCP is set to deliver 30,000 m2 GIA new build, including a 24,500m2 development for WBS and 5,000m2 for Economics. Also incorporated will be a 500m2 shared catering facility.
