Research at UTS:LAW

The aim of research at UTS:LAW is to develop a vibrant and sustainable research culture within the Faculty where every academic staff member is engaging in research output in order to firstly benefit society and secondly has local, national and international impact.

There exists an extremely diverse range of staff research interests within the faculty and these are showcased by a number of topical, challenging & informative Research Seminars each year (to which all are welcome).

Contributions to our research profile are made also by the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) and the UTS Centre for Corporate Governance. UTS:LAW publishes the UTS Law Review and a multitude of Journals, Guides & Legal Information Sheets in conjunction with the above law centres.

Staff research is coordinated through the Associate Dean (Research) and governed by the Research Management Committee (RMC).

Student research is also of paramount importance to the Faculty of Law, if you are a potential higher degree research studentthe faculty offers a Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Juridical Science, or a Master of Laws by Thesis. Higher degree research students are supported by the Faculty through the provision of academic supervisors/mentors, designated computers & office facilities.
