The School of Law and Social Sciences (LSS) has two key concepts at our core-social justice and global responsibility. These distinct yet complementary ideas underpin the way we think, teach and carry out our research. Every one of our courses and modules is developed with a focus on social justice issues and a global outlook that gives you a unique perspective. Our graduates are engaged, active and ready to make real change.
