Research at the School of Law and Politics

Cardiff University’s renowned Law School and highly respected Politics and International Relations department were brought together to form the School of Law and Politics in 2014.

This interdisciplinary research environment allows our staff and students to collaborate extensively, delivering varied and impactful research. The combination of established researchers and young scholars has created a dynamic and forward-looking research environment.

Our academics are internationally recognised and embedded in UK, European and global networks, which include the UN, NATO, G7 and Welsh Government.
