About the School – Research
At the School of Law and Social Sciences we promote a vibrant and diverse research community where our sustainable, inclusive and interdisciplinary research environment supports researchers address local and global challenges. Our esteemed staff and research students are from all corners of the globe, bringing unparalleled expertise and global perspectives.

We excel in policy-based, theoretically informed and applied research across law, the social sciences, journalism and information management. We encourage research collaboration with public, private and third sector organisations for the purpose of creating societal benefit. We offer a wealth of doctoral research opportunities including discipline-specific and interdisciplinary fields, as well as professional doctorates, all fostering innovation and excellence in academia.

Our areas of expertise span several disciplines and are built around four key interdisciplinary research themes:

Environment, Energy and Sustainability
Living in a Digital World
Health and Wellbeing
Inclusive and Creative Societies

Research on each of these broad themes could be discipline-specific (e.g. information science, law, psychology, social work or sociology) or interdisciplinary. We employ diverse research methods ranging from quantitative to qualitative options to conduct theoretically informed empirical and policy-focused research.
