Edinburgh University's Faculty of Social Sciences was founded in 1963. It absorbed eight Chairs that had previously existed within the Faculty of Arts, and led to the creation of several new Chairs:
- Economic Science (founded 1871)
- Education (1876)
- Accounting (1919)
- Organisation of Industry and Commerce (1925)
- Psychology (1931)
- Geography (1931)
- Architecture (1948)
- Economic History (1956)
- Social Anthropology (1964)
- Urban Design and Regional Planning (1964)
- Economics (1965)
- Sociology (1965)
- Social Administration (1967)
- Nursing Studies (1972)
Following restructuring in 2002, the university's nine Faculties were reconstituted as three Colleges, while Departments were reorganised and replaced by Schools. The Departments previously contained within the Faculty of Social Sciences were incorporated in five Schools of the newly founded College of Humanities and Social Science:
- Business School
- Economics
- Health in Social Science
- Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences
- Social and Political Science
