PhD in Law

Our Law School has an impressive record in supporting innovative and world-leading research. Academic staff in the School have internationally recognised expertise across a wide range of specialist areas, including: arbitration and dispute resolution, commercial law, contract law, company law, competition law, (international) criminal law and criminal justice, environmental law and sustainable development, EU law, human rights, insurance, IT & IP law, international law, investment law, land law, legal theory, media law, medical law, policing, public protest law, and refugee law.Several of the School's researchers are engaged in empirical and interdisciplinary work, and the School has sought both to encourage emerging strengths and to build on existing areas of excellence, such as the Centre for Competition Policy (established by the Law School in conjunction with the School of Economics, Norwich Business School and Political, Social and International Studies). We are justifiably proud of the way in which we have developed the careers of junior colleagues and PhD students. Many have produced and published work of the highest calibre. The School's research community benefits from dedicated postgraduate facilities in the newly refurbished Earlham Hall on UEA campus grounds.
