Postgraduate Studies
Warwick University is ranked as one of the top academic institutions in the United Kingdom. The Law School at Warwick is also consistently regarded as one of the leading law schools in UK, achieving top scores for its scholarship, the quality of its teaching and its overall facilities. Postgraduate legal education plays a central role in the life of the Law School. Our approach to legal education is contextual, critical and global. Our teaching, as well as providing students with a solid foundation in the technical aspects of the law, examines law and legal institutions within a wider context. It encourages students to consider the social, economic, political and philosophical dimensions of the law. This wider perspective enables students to develop a critical understanding of the role of law, thus providing them with the necessary tools to understand, promote and respond to legal change in the private and public sectors and in the global arena. Given prevailing global conditions our contextual approach necessarily involves making students aware of developments beyond the narrow confines of individual nation states.
