Research Excellence
Keele School of Law has a long history of research excellence encompassing critical, socio-legal and doctrinal work. Students coming to Keele will learn about Law from internationally recognised academics who are driving the discipline forward.
Professional Ethics at Keele
Keele's Centre for Professional Ethics (also known as PEAK ? Professional Ethics at Keele) is amongst the largest and most successful providers of postgraduate ethics courses in Europe, with over 200 postgraduate students, nine permanent academic staff, and a portfolio of five distinctive MA / PgDip programmes as well as the UK's first Professional Doctorate in Medical Ethics
We also teach ethics to approximately 250 undergraduate students in collaboration wiith colleagues from the School of Life Sciences.
PEAK is also the leading provider of training for Research Ethics Committees in the UK and Ireland, carrying out up to forty days of training each year, at Keele and in-house, for members of NHS and university committees.
Our courses are taught by staff who are active researchers and able to supervise research degrees (PhD and MPhil) in most fields of applied and professional ethics. Particular interests include: the ethics of biotechnology; commercial exploitation of the human body; the concept of eugenics; public health ethics; ethics and children; ethics and mental health; ethics and addiction; ethics of intellectual property; ethics of risk; ethics of resource allocation; and research ethics.
We run a programme of public lectures in Healthcare Ethics and Law, sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy, and regularly hold conferences and workshops at Keele, which our students are encouraged to attend. Details of forthcoming events can be found in the panel on the right of this page.

Professional Ethics at Keele
Studying Law at University
Introduction
You are taught by a combination of lectures and seminars (also known as tutorials when smaller in size). However, class contact time is only a small part of what you should be doing. The rest of your time should be spent in private study, reading the materials your lectures point you towards, using the online learning resources and preparing for your seminar discussions. You will not succeed in law if you do not do this private study.
A good introductory text to studying Law is A. Bradney et al, How to Study Law, (5th edn.) (London: Sweet & Maxwell, 2005)
Lectures
A lecture involves the lecturer talking to the whole year group for usually 2 hours per week per module. (You will therefore have about 6 hours of lectures per week for law.) The purpose of lectures is to give you basic information about each subject and direct you to the main issues. You will need to take effective notes on what the lecturer says. Taking notes does NOT mean writing everything down word for word - see Note-taking!
Lectures cannot possibly, in the time available, cover everything you need to know and the format of a lecture means that it is not the ideal way to help students evaluate or critique the subject area. Instead, it can only highlight the main issues which you must supplement with further reading. Lectures should therefore be seen as signposting your own further study.
