Research is at the heart of the Law School's mission and underpins all of the School's academic activities, including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
Research ActivitiesThe School of Law has an active research community. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise 85% of our published work was deemed of international quality, 15% of which was considered World Leading. Our legal, socio-legal and criminological research enjoys national and international renown. Through academic publishing, informing policy processes, advisory work, knowledge exchange, activities for government departments, public agencies and regional, national and international bodies, our research has local, regional, national and global impacts. We are happy to host visiting scholars and research students within our large research community. |
ClustersThe School's research is organised around five clusters which stimulate research by providing a forum within which ideas can be disseminated and discussed and new projects developed. The clusters play a central role in the School's research culture and strategy. Each cluster organises its own programme of seminars and events. |
News, Seminars and EventsAcademics in the School of Law are involved in numerous research projects. Details of their activities including publications and presentations, knowledge exchange and funding grants can be found on our news blog and through our quarterly research newsletter. Alongside the annual seminar series, our clusters regularly run workshops and host conferences
