Help shape the future of law

Oxford’s Faculty of Law is the largest in the United Kingdom, and is internationally recognised for the depth, excellence and impact of its research and teaching. The faculty’s research informs the legal frameworks and legislation needed to address global challenges, and our teaching programmes equip graduates with the critical thinking skills, knowledge and ethical foundations necessary to rise to these challenges as our future leaders and policymakers.

Building upon a tradition of innovation and excellence, we are embarking on ambitious initiatives to embrace the challenges of our changing world and support the next generation of bright legal minds to fulfil their outstanding potential. We are seeking support across three strategic themes:

  • Fulfilling Outstanding Potential 
    We have a responsibility to ensure that all talented individuals, regardless of their background, can contribute their insights, experiences and unique perspectives to shaping the future of the law. We are committed to breaking down barriers that prevent talented individuals from pursuing the study of law and fulfilling their outstanding potential.
  • Embracing the Changing World 
    Our innovative researchers and practitioners are leading research programmes, with practical application, that are tackling the world’s most pressing problems, spanning global health and medicine, climate and sustainability, and social justice and human rights. We strive to ensure that our teaching continues to meet the ever-changing landscape of our tumultuous times and to equip our graduates with the skills necessary to address future challenges with legal solutions that are responsive, effective, and socially and morally responsible.
  • A Tradition of Innovation
    The Faculty of Law embodies an unparalleled blend of tradition and innovation. We aim to sustain and enhance the qualities that make us unique, while continuing to ensure that we innovate in teaching and research.
