At the School of Law we strive to promote research excellence among all our scholars. We recognise that high-quality legal research may take many different forms. A wide variety of legal research methods are employed in the numerous research projects ongoing in the School.
The School of Law believes that postgraduate research students and academics are all engaged in the same scholarly endeavours and can learn a great deal from each other. Postgraduate research students are invited to play a full role in all the research activities of the School.
Whilst legal research is often an individual activity, many collaborative research activities, including co-authorship of publications, collaborations with visiting scholars, seminars, reading and discussion groups and distinguished visitors' seminars, take place in the School. Postgraduate research students are encouraged to participate in all such activities.
The School of Law offers supervision for research degrees in most subject areas of the law, and also for inter-disciplinary projects which have a legal aspect. The School currently has about forty registered graduate research candidates, who come from all over the world.
