Research Centres, Institutes and Projects

UCL Laws is recognised as one of the top legal research departments in the world. We aspire to produce research that is world-leading in originality, significance and rigour. In the UK government 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), Laws placed joint 1st in the UK for the proportion of its research activity in the top two star categories (75% 4*/3*). Our exceptional research not only enhances the quality of our teaching and the supervision we give our research students, but contributes to the solution of global challenges while shaping policy and the practice of law.
