The School has made significant changes to our undergraduate curriculum bringing the teaching of transferrable and professional skills into the heart of our teaching of substantive law. Owen’s arrival strengthens considerably our ability to deliver one of the most relevant and exciting undergraduate degrees in the UK.”
