Legal, Criminological and Policing research – Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) PhD Studentship
PGRs working on legal, criminological, or policing projects are normally housed in the School of Law, Criminology and Policing.
Research lies at the heart of the School of Law, Criminology and Policing. For instance, in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework three-quarters of our published research was rated as ‘internationally excellent’ or ‘world-leading’. Within the School we have experts both in terms of academic research and practice. The School also enables you to conduct interdisciplinary research. Please see our staff webpages for further information.
All our postgraduate researchers (PGRs) are registered in the University’s Graduate School and housed in the department or school that is most appropriate for the project on which they are working. PGRs working on legal, criminological, or policing projects are normally housed in the School of Law, Criminology and Policing.

Additional research information can be found on the research area web pages. All postgraduate researchers will be supported by a supervisory team with appropriate expertise. See the University’s research repository for further information on the research outputs of each member of staff.
