The Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, in line with the University of Deusto's project, focuses its research work on knowledge that can contribute to the fight for Justice and balanced human development. This affects not only the thematic areas to which its research is oriented, but also the approach methodologies and the objectives pursued. In turn, the Faculty's priority research lines are to a large extent directly related to the range of degree programmes offered, from undergraduate to doctoral studies. This provides the thematic areas or fields on which the research work of our academic staff is currently focused.
