Our programmes are intellectually rigorous and explore law in its political, social, economic and cultural context, engaging with important issues of contemporary concern. They are taught by enthusiastic, expert faculty, committed to research and teaching excellence.

We offer a dynamic research environment for faculty and graduate students and a thriving law community with students from around the world.

Within the Sussex Law School, work of faculty within the Centre for Responsibilities, Rights and the Law explores the importance and limits of human rights, and the allocation and content of responsibilities in domestic, European and international law.
