Data sources

• FOI Request by Jake J.. August 2019.
• Admissions. Strategic Planning & Analytics Office . University of Warwick.

The acceptance rate , or offer rate, represents the fraction of applicants who received an offer. Note that this will be generally lower the acceptances rates (acceptances divided by applicants) published by many other sources. This article explains it in more detail. The acceptances generally indicate the number of offer holders who accepted the offer and fulfilled its conditions. For some universities, however, it denotes the number of applicants who accepted the offer, regardless of whether they subsequently met its conditions.

Data Reliability

Unless otherwise noted, the data presented comes from the universities and is generally reliable. However, some of the differences between years and/or courses may be due to different counting methodologies or data gathering errors. This may especially be the case if there is a sharp difference from year to year. If the data does not look right, click the "Report" button located near the top of the page.

Research Metrics

• About Research Metrics
• Understanding Research Metrics
• Research Metrics Databases

Research metrics  or bibliometrics is the statistical analysis of books, articles and other publications. It is an information science used to evaluate research using quantitative methods by counting citations, but can also use alternative measures ( altmetrics ) to count page views, downloads and social media shares. Research metrics can be used to evaluate articles, journals and authors, as well as research groups and institutions. It can help you to identify research collaborators, where to publish your research and measure the impact of your research.

Your  Research and Academic Support Librarian  can help you to find research metrics on library databases. Contact your librarian to ask a question or book a 1-2-1 appointment. The library's  Open Access  team can advise on advanced aspects of bibliometrics including policy and implications for your research. Contact the OA team [email protected]  to ask a question, book a 1-2-1 appointment or group training session.

Research metrics can be a complicated world of acronyms and numbers. If you are using research metrics, it's important to understand what is being measured, the strengths and limitations of the measure, and how research metrics should be used responsibly. The following sources of information provide useful summaries and definitions of research metrics for the beginner.

• Documents: search for literature, view index and abstract, view references, cited and related documents, citation counts, FWCI and PlumX altmetrics
• Author: view author profiles including list of publications, co-authors and grants, citations and citing documents, h-index and FWCI
• Sources: view and compare journal profiles (by title or subject) including list of publications, CiteScore, rank and percentile, SJR and SNIP

• Documents:   search for literature, view index and abstract, view references, cited and related documents, citation counts, journal impact
• Researcher:   view author profiles including list of publications, co-authors and grants, citations and citing documents, and h-index
• Journal Citation Reports:  view and compare journal profiles (by title or subject) including list of publications and citations, journal impact factor (JIF), journal citation indicator (JCI), rank, quartile and percentile.

Dimensions searches for academic research  including research grants, clinical trials, patents and policy documents. View index and abstracts. View references and cited literature. View Dimensions citation counts and Altmetric attention scores, for both all-time and recent time periods. View author profiles, including lists of publications, grants, patents and policy documents, number of citations, affiliations and co-authors.

Prof Kimberley Wade

I am a Professor of Cognitive Psychology in the Psychology Department at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom. My main interest is memory, in particular, aspects of episodic and autobiographical memory. But the question that bothers me most is this: How and why do people come to believe in and remember entire events or aspects of events that never happened? Much of my research has theoretical implications for how we understand memory, and informs professionals working in legal or clinical contexts.

Since 2016, I have served as the Executive Director of the Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition , known as SARMAC. SARMAC aims to promote and support outstanding research, and encourages collaboration between basic and applied  researchers in the field of memory and cognition. Along with colleagues at Warwick in the Law and Business Schools, I co-founded Warwick’s Centre for Operational Police Research (COPR). I currently serve as the Co-Director of COPR alongside Prof Jackie Hodgson (Warwick Law School). COPR is an interdisciplinary network that brings together researchers from 9 academic departments, including Psychology, Law, Business, Computer Science and Politics at Warwick University. Our aim is to conduct police-related research that is both intellectually innovative and has clear policy and practice implications within policing. I have also served as an Associate Editor at the journal, Legal & Criminological Psychology, for 8 years.

I welcome applications from first-rate graduate students wishing to pursue postgraduate research degrees in any area of episodic or autobiographical memory, particularly memory distortions. There are funding opportunities  for PhD studies in the UK, but the funding landscape is fairly complex. The Warwick Graduate School provides information and advice for prospective students, and you can access a full list of funding opportunities here . Home/EU students may be funded by Research Councils (there are currently 7 government-funded councils that offer funding support for postgraduates) or funds provided by the University/Department. International students may wish to apply for the Chancellors’ International Scholarship scheme.  Note that funding application deadlines tend to fall in Jan/Feb each year for a Sept start.

Course Description

Law provides the framework for economic and social life, and for relationships between states, governments and individuals. At Warwick Law School, we pioneered an approach to the study of law that looks at legal rules 'in context' to examine their social, political and economic effects.

Our Law degrees enable you to develop an in-depth understanding of the technical and doctrinal aspects of the law, and a critical awareness of the role law can play in contemporary society.

Warwick Law School is renowned for its high-quality research and draws on this expertise in its teaching and in the range of modules we offer students. The School emphasises a contextual approach to, and international and comparative perspectives on, the study of law.

As well as studying legal judgements, statutes and treaties, you will gain valuable insights into the impact of economic, cultural and political change on law, and consider how law affects life beyond the courtroom and the lawyer's office.
