Course summary

The School of Law is respected locally, regionally and internationally for its robust and impactful legal, socio-legal and criminological research.

Our research is oriented around three research centres:

The Centre for Criminological Research (CCR)

Sheffield Institute for Corporate and Commercial Law (SICCL)

Sheffield Centre for International and European Law (SCIEL)

Within these research centres academic staff carry out a wide range of research using a variety of legal and empirical research methods, including a range of innovative qualitative and quantitative methods. Each Centre has its own postgraduate representative who provides a key link between the centres and the wider postgraduate research (PGR) community.

Staff from across the School regularly write highly rated academic publications and reports, as well as participating in University, local, regional and international seminars, workshops and conferences. Not only does this research inform their teaching, it is also disseminated widely and in accessible ways to practitioners, policy makers and the wider public, ensuring that this research has a range of impacts on society beyond the University. We have a strong track record of informing policy processes through our research and advisory work for government departments, public agencies and regional, national and international bodies.

The School has a vibrant community of PGR students who are fully integrated into the life of the wider School through a range of activities that continue throughout the academic year. This includes bespoke regular training sessions in both semesters (as part of the in-discipline training on offer in the School), presentations of research in progress, public research seminars, conferences and other events hosted by the research centres, internal all school research seminars, as well as PGR-led events and networks including conferences, writing retreats, and reading groups, which are supported and encouraged by the School.
