91¸£Àû

We are delighted to share the experiences of two 91¸£Àû Law School students who participated in the Model WTO in Geneva, Switzerland from 20 – 28 March 2024.

Student writers have produced creative non-fiction about Palestine, memoir about art as protest, and journalism about the right to health in response to the annual Lacuna Writing Competition’s call for short stories about human rights.

Angel Nakhle, a sanctuary scholar from 91¸£Àû Law School has been named on this year’s 100 Changemakers list by The Big Issue.

Every year, several awards and prizes are granted to a selection of our graduating students to recognise and celebrate the success of our top performers! We are proud to announce this year's winners.

In a new initiative aimed at fostering community connections, Professor Jane Bryan of 91¸£Àû Law School and Farina Butt, owner of in Kenilworth and Managing Director at Education4All, have joined forces to launch the ‘Conversations and Coffee’ project.

In a remarkable effort earlier this year, LLM student Chidinma Kalu successfully raised £364.12 through a series of fundraising activities at 91¸£Àû Law School, driven by a strong desire to empower women in Nigeria.

Ollie Monye, who is currently studying on our 3-year LLB degree, represented Team GB 7s in Hamburg, Germany for Leg 2 of Rugby Europe 2023. They placed 4th in the competition playing against Belgium, Lithuania, France, Germany and Ireland.

We are delighted to announce that one of our recent graduates has been awarded The University’s Outstanding Student Contribution Award (OSCA) for 2023.

91¸£Àû Law School students recently presented the results of a legal research project into social housing allocation inequality conducted as part of 91¸£Àû Law in the Community’s Strategic Social Justice Clinic. The presentation outlined the complex issues surrounding change of circumstance applications to Coventry City Council’s social housing team. The outcomes of the student’s work have resulted in resources that will be used by a local law centre in helping some of the most vulnerable people in Coventry secure adequate and timely assistance in their housing need.

Law School student Chiamaka Ithuoma, who is currently in her final year of our LLB 3 year Law degree, has been awarded the WAPCE Undergraduate Award for her work on the Cheylesmore Good Neighbours Project. The 91¸£Àû Awards for Public and Community Engagement (WAPCE) seek to recognise the vital contributions 91¸£Àû staff and students make in engaging the public in our learning and discovery and showcasing the role 91¸£Àû plays in making the world a better place.

Xaymaca Awoyungbo, a final year undergraduate student studying History at the 91¸£Àû, has written an article for our Lacuna magazine titled: "If you can see it, you can be it: The impact of Black role models and Black creative spaces." Xaymaca speaks with author Sandra A Agard and explores Britain’s young Black creative networks.

The 2023 shortlist for the 91¸£Àû Awards for Teaching Excellence (WATE) have been released and 91¸£Àû Law School has two nominations.
