Tradition of excellence

The Law School has a strong tradition in the field of research and scholarship. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) published in December 2008, the School had a total of 80% of its submissions recognised internationally as being of excellence or of significance and originality, with the remaining 20% judged to be of national standing. In the previous two RAEs the School’s research was awarded the highest numerical rating possible of 5. The Complete University Guide currently puts us at 20th in the UK.
