For almost 200 years, UCL has been one of the leading centres of legal education in the world. 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 1250 students, divided between 850 undergraduate, 350 taught graduate, and 50 graduate research students. The faculty has an academic staff of around 70 professors, lecturers and readers, as well as many visiting professors and distinguished judicial visitors.

It is structured to support defined areas of academic activity and the governance, management, operations and leadership of the Faculty.

This role supports the development and implementation of the Faculty’s strategic initiatives by designing and enacting operational plans and business cases, working with senior leaders and PS colleagues within the Faculty and at UCL to deliver strategic projects.
