The research themes presented here highlight broad areas of inquiry that are currently of interest to UCL Faculty of Laws’ community of academics, researchers and PhDs. It aims to group together methodologies and substantive fields in which we as a Faculty have particular strengths, providing an overview of key work undertaken here.

Many of the subject areas outlined below have cross-cutting relevance, and by grouping them in this way we aim to enable anyone interested in UCL Laws to explore the main areas we work in based on thematic interests. We hope it will help prospective students and PhD students, research funders, potential collaborators, and employers find what they are interested in.
