Developing an enquiring mind and applying it to current legal issues is our main focus at the Hertfordshire Law School. One of the main ways we do this is through research-informed teaching.

Areas of research expertise

Staff research interests include a wide range of areas, such as:

Throughout your course, whether at undergraduate or postgraduate level, you will benefit from this expertise not only during lectures, but also as you carry out your own research, whether for your dissertation or to reinforce your argumentative skills.

Developing your research abilities can also help you progress as a student and to open the door to a world of opportunities in a broad range of legal areas.
