Our law library has long been a leader in the development of electronic resources for legal teaching and research. The extensive and up-to-date law collection in the University's Templeman Library is particularly strong on electronic material, with the Electronic Law Library including numerous legal databases which are increasingly invaluable tools for research. In addition, you can access the text of thousands of law journals online. Our law librarian is available to train students to use these resources and runs regular legal research classes with postgraduate students.

We have a dedicated postgraduate office, offering support from application to graduation.

Research students benefit from a research training programme in the first year. An academic staff member acts as postgraduate research co-ordinator and runs a weekly postgraduate study group, at which students present and discuss research.

The Law School provides research students with an allowance for conferences and other research expenses, and an annual printing allowance.
