Durham Law - 4* Research and Teaching

Durham Law School was ranked 4^th Law School in the UK in the 2008 RAE, an excellent result, on a par with the 2001 result. The School also returned 100% of its staff in the RAE.

The ranking is based on the percentage of submissions graded 4* (world class); it is also based on the percentage graded 3 or 4*; we are 3rd based on the percentage graded 2* or 3* or 4*. We were also 4^th by Grade point average.

The School also achieved the top rating of "Excellent" for its teaching in its last inspection by the Quality Assurance Agency and is consistently rated one of the top UK law schools by the Good University Guide.

Our teaching benefits from our research at every level, and our academic staff, together with our postgraduate and undergraduate students, comprise a dynamic and focused intellectual community. The reputation of our programmes, scholarship and student experience ensures a very competetive application process. We have a diverse student intake from across the world and our graduates are in high demand, with an excellent record of post-graduation employment. More about the School...
