The School of Law is one of the leading law schools in the UK and has been providing instruction in law since its inception in 1899.
Today, we have a community of around fifty dedicated academic staff and fifteen support staff who foster a supportive environment for legal studies at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise awarded our School an outstanding rating that reflected the international quality of our research.
We host four research centres that both supervise research students and support research-based postgraduate taught programmes.
