Supporting our students and engaging with the community

Our School is committed to excellence in teaching and cutting-edge research. We offer courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level across a wide range of subjects. Our students can also combine their main subject with other areas such as International Relations, History or Languages.

Our facilities include seminar rooms, a PC cluster room, study spaces for both taught and research students and social spaces. Our law students also have access to our specialist mooting room.

We’re committed to outreach and widening participation activities, as well as maximising our research impact. We also aim to share our knowledge, skills and experience with the local community. See our latest news and events in community engagement.
