Research

The Faculty of Law aims to be a nationally leading and internationally recognised institution in the fields of legal research and education, as well as in its engagement with society at large. These three dimensions of the Faculty’s mission are closely interrelated and mutually reinforcing. Education at the Faculty is – and should remain – firmly grounded in, and reflective of, the research conducted within it. This integration ensures that all teaching is research-based.
