UEA Law School rises to top 200 in the world
By: Communications
The University of East Anglia Law School has risen to the top 200 in the 2026 Times Higher Education World Subject Rankings.
The improvement, from last year’s top 250 ranking, is down to increases in four different measures, including teaching, research quality, research environment and industry income.
Dr Angelika Reichstein, Deputy Head of UEA Law School, said: “We are delighted to have risen to the top 200 in the THE World Subject Rankings. This reflects our continuous efforts to provide excellent teaching and produce world-class research.
“Our teaching success can, for example, be seen in Dr Lucy Barnes having been shortlisted for the OUP Law Teacher of the Year Award in 2025.
“In research, Professor Kirsten McConnachie has been awarded a prestigious British Academy grant for a project she is currently heading called Policymaking with sensitive evidence: Humanitarian access and assistance.
“Research by and the views of David Mead, Professor of UK Human Rights Law and expert on protest and policing, have been influential in shaping the January 2026 report from JUSTICE Striking the Balance: Protest Rights and Public Order that is heavily critical of the many recent changes in protest law, giving powers to the police.
“These examples illustrate our ongoing commitment to delivering excellent teaching and producing world-class research that makes a difference.”
