Research at UEA LAW: Fostering a supportive and vibrant research environment
The UEA Law School excels in various key areas of research, including Competition Law, Technology and Intellectual Property Law, Public Protest Law, Medical Law and International Law. Our faculty frequently advises governments, parliamentarians, and various organisations, and provide training for members of the judiciary, law firms, and other legal professionals. We also host several research groups, maintain an active blog, and run a podcast series.
We foster a thriving community of postgraduate researchers, who benefit from dedicated office space and cutting-edge research facilities. Our research students are an important part of our research community, and are heavily embedded in the research activities of the Law Faculty. We warmly welcome applications from prospective PhD candidates interested in joining our vibrant academic environment.
Our Law School has had success in winning large grant applications – in particular from the Economic and Social Research Council with the Centre for Competition Policy.
This is a collaborative endeavour with UEA's School of Economics, School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies, and Norwich Business School. Smaller grants have also been received from the British Academy and Legal Services Board. Additionally, we work closely with government departments and other users of our research.
We regularly host Visiting Fellows from academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and legal practice. Visiting Fellows enjoy dedicated office space and are fully integrated into our research community.
