The School of Law strives to promote research excellence among all of its scholars. We recognise that high-quality legal research may take many different forms, with a wide variety of legal research methods being employed in the numerous ongoing research projects within the school. The School of Law offers supervision for research degrees in most subject areas of law, and also for interdisciplinary projects which have a legal aspect to them. Moreover, our research students organise their own seminar series, through which they have the opportunity to present their research to their peers. This also enables them to develop their presentation skills. To this end, our doctoral students are actively encouraged to engage in the wider scholarly community of the school and play a full role in its research activities. Many PhD students enter academia upon completion of their PhD, both in the UK and abroad. Others enter the legal profession or return to their prior career with their prospects enhanced by their PhD experience. Still others work for governments, non-governmental organisations or international organisations.
