SIGNATURE RESEARCH AREAS

BACK TO UoA

Northumbria Law School has long-standing strengths in the areas of criminal justice, expert evidence, legal education, and law and society scholarship. Combined with this, research in the areas of gender and sexuality, international human rights law, environmental law and development, and space law are helping to diversify and strengthen our research portfolio. 

Our research is organised into three ‘signature’ research areas. Feeding into these groups are ten research interest groups. Find out more about our signature research areas below
