In that time, we have seen our graduates become prominent judges, politicians, academics and successful legal practitioners. With over fifty dedicated academic staff, we can boast legal expertise in a diverse range of topics affecting global societies today. Our students benefit from studying in the second largest legal and financial sector in the UK outside of London.
Since January 2011, the School of Law has moved into a new purpose-built £12m home. The Liberty Building incorporates high quality teaching and research space, a moot court incorporating the latest technology and a law and community centre to support the School's pro-bono work.
Our national andinternational research standing represents our research excellence. We recognise the growing internationalisation of research agendas in legal, socio-legal, and criminal justice studies.
