The Dean of the Law School, Fiona Fairweather said "these results confirm the excellent work of the school in creating an innovative research agenda in law and criminology. Our internationally recognized research offers an exciting working environment for both academics and students"
The Law School's research received a major endorsement in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2008 as 80% of its work was graded at international recognition and above – including 5% as world class and 30% as of international excellence. As a result the Law school is now ranked 7th out of the 14 London Law Schools.* In the national league table of research the school moved up 18 places and has now achieved second place in the listings of modern university Law Schools.
The UEL law school’s critical work in public international law, human rights in armed conflict, terrorism studies, Islamic Middle Eastern law and new institutional economics provides the basis for our LLB, BA Criminology and Criminal Justice, our LLM programmes in International Law, Human Rights, International Law and Criminal Justice, International Law and the World Economy, Islamic and Middle East Studies and MSc Terrorism Studies. It also offers a rich basis for research degrees (M.Phil/PhD). Our Centre on Human Rights in Conflict offers sustained work in all these areas.
The UEL School of Law is situated in Stratford, East London. It has a distinct and vibrant identity, with a commitment to critical, contemporary higher education from a cross-cultural and international perspective.
The School has a portfolio of courses that reflect both this unique character and offer a coherent, exciting and wide-ranging intellectual experience in the fields of Law and Criminology.
We hope that your studies will stimulate an enquiring, analytical and creative intellectual approach, and encourage independent judgment and self-awareness. During your time here, you will develop a critical understanding of the key questions in your subject, whether law or criminology. This understanding will draw on the political, economic, international, comparative and historical contexts which surround these areas.
Within these pages you'll find more information about the School, details of the programmes we offer, our research and project work and much more. We hope you will find these pages helpful and informative, but if you'd like to know more or there are any queries that are not answered here, please do contact us directly.
