For almost 200 years, UCL Laws has been one of the leading centres of legal education in the world. Recognised as offering an outstanding educational experience to our students, we combine a strong theoretical foundation in the law with practical teaching from world-leading academics and practitioners.

Our community of intellectually dynamic scholars responds to today’s global challenges, and through our research, we help to shape government policy, national and international law, and its practice. At the heart of legal London, we attract the leading figures in the field to contribute to our vibrant programme of events, informing public debate and understanding of contemporary social, legal, environmental and economic issues.

The UCL Laws student body numbers around 1000 taught students, divided between 550 undergraduate, 450 taught graduate. In addition, there is a talented group of 50 graduate research students. The Faculty has an academic staff of some 80 professors, lecturers and readers, as well as many visiting academics and distinguished judicial visitors. Our dedicated team of professional services staff provides valuable support to both our students and academic staff.

Throughout our long history, we have been committed to the values of the founders of UCL: justice, liberty and equal rights for all. As a faculty, we work together to promote these values among our staff and students, and as part of UCL, we harness the potential of cross- disciplinary research and expertise to address the world’s key problems. We are seeking to appoint an exceptional Dean who will be responsible for leading this ambitious and talented Faculty. As a member of the Provost’s Senior Management Team, the Dean will be responsible for the development of the long term strategic vision for the Faculty that will inspire and enthuse a diverse range of colleagues and partners within the UK and internationally while contributing to the delivery of UCL 2034, the University’s 20- year strategy. Building on the Faculty’s existing reputation for academic excellence, the Dean will promote a spirit of collegial and collaborative working which extends across the Faculty, the University and to a rich network of relationships with strategic partners.

The Organisation

University College London (UCL) is one of the world's top universities. Based in the heart of London, it is a modern, outward-looking institution. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society. It was the first university to make Higher Education affordable and accessible to all, regardless of their race, gender or religion and

the first to offer systematic education in important areas such as laws, modern foreign languages, engineering and medicine. The founding principles of academic excellence and research aimed at addressing real-world problems continue to inform its ethos to this day. UCL is a welcoming, inclusive university situated at the heart of one of the world's greatest cities. UCL's central campus is spread across approximately three-square kilometres of central London. UCL has ambitious future plans, with the opening of UCL East later this decade on the London Olympic site at Stratford, East London, affording a once-in-a- generation opportunity to form part of a wider Education and Cultural Quarter, backed by the government’s announcement of £141m in support of the UCL vision. UCL is a truly international community: more than one third of its student body, nearly 40,000 strong, come from 150 countries and nearly one-third of the University’s staff are from outside the UK. UCL currently employs around 12,000 staff and annual turnover exceeds £1.2 billion. UCL is proud of its longstanding commitment to equality and to providing a learning, working and social environment in which the rights and dignity of its diverse members are respected. Looking to the future, UCL is working towards its long term goals as set out in UCL’s 2034 strategy. The University’s vision is that its distinctive approach to research, education and innovation will further inspire its community of staff, students and partners to transform how the world is understood, how knowledge is created and shared, and the way that global problems are solved.

Research UCL is ranked seventh in the 2015/16 QS International World Rankings and independently ranked as the most productive research university in Europe (SIR). UCL’s staff and former students include 29 Nobel Prize winners, including most recently the 2014 winner for Physiology or Medicine, Professor John O’Keefe. In the Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF2014) UCL was rated the top university in the UK for 'research power' (the overall quality of its submission multiplied by the number of FTE researchers submitted). It was rated top not only in the overall results, but in each of the assessed components: publications and other research outputs; research environment; and research impact. REF2014 confirmed UCL’s multidisciplinary research strength, with many leading performances across subject areas ranging from arts and humanities, social sciences and laws, to biomedicine, science and engineering and the built environment. UCL won the largest funding allocation from the UK research councils in 2014 (£148m), with a total income of over £370m in research grants and contracts awarded in 2013/14, rising to £410m in 2014/15. UCL’s Research Strategy: Delivering a Culture of Wisdom has three main aims: leadership founded in excellence; cross-disciplinarily grounded in expertise; and realising the impact of a global university. Overarching the University’s cross-disciplinary collaboration are the UCL Grand Challenges – Global Health, Sustainable Cities, Intercultural Interaction and Human Wellbeing. More information

Teaching and Learning at UCL UCL 2034 commits the University to becoming a global leader in the integration of research and education, underpinning an inspirational student experience. In support of this aim, UCL has developed a new Education Strategy for 2016-2021, focusing on three key themes: education through research and enquiry; education through participation; and education through experience. By prioritising activity under these three headings, UCL will ensure that its students are well-prepared for future career success in a global economy, and for a lifetime of intellectual and personal development, including through life learning courses. UCL has 1104 professors – one of the highest number of any university in the UK – and the best academic to student ratio of any UK university (The Times, 2014), enabling small class sizes and outstanding individual support. More information on our Education Strategy.

Equality UCL is proud of its radical history with respect to equality and diversity. Fostering a diverse learning and working environment that cultivates authenticity and inclusion is crucial to supporting UCL’s mission to be ‘a diverse intellectual community, who are engaged with and changing the world for the better; recognised for our thought leadership and critical thinking; and the catalyst for London to be the world’s leading centre of learning, research, innovation and enterprise.’ Equality objectives are a key feature of the annual performance plans of each member of the Senior Management Team and individual members are held to account for their achievement of their equality objectives by UCL Council through the Provost. This approach is unique in the sector. Equality and diversity initiatives include working to increase the diversity (primarily disability, gender and race) of senior staff at UCL UCL is committed to the Athena SWAN Award

scheme, working to advance gender gender equality in academia, addressing unequal gender representation across academic disciplines, professional and support functions and removing obstacles faced by women in Higher Education . UCL currently holds an Athena SWAN Silver university award In 2015 UCL became one of the first universities in the UK to be formally awarded for its efforts to understand, and take steps to address, racialised inequalities in the academy. The University was one of only eight institutions to receive a Bronze award for a pioneering, national pilot of the Race Equality Charter for Higher Education. The Race Equality Charter is a national scheme aimed at improving the representation, progression and success of minority ethnic staff and students within Higher Education. Its purpose is to inspire a strategic approach to making cultural and systemic changes that will make a real difference to minority ethnic staff and students. Further information
