There is a strong focus on the student learning experience, with three Faculty members having received University Teaching Awards in the last three years.
Not just a number
Being one of the smaller law faculties in New Zealand allows us to get to know our students as individuals. We work with the our law student clubs and societies including LAWSOC, Te Pūtāiki and CRIMSOC. They put on a wide range of social , academic and competitive activities throughout the year.
