Business and community
Our academics have extensive experience of working with non-governmental
organisations, businesses, governments, and inter-governmental organisations
across the world, including the United Nations and the European Union.
Research in our School of Law also engages with practical issues which
have direct relevance to the work of legal practitioners nationally and
internationally, while our academics have real experience of working in the
field.
