A message from Rebecca Munro - Director of Student Experience

Welcome to Warwick Law School and congratulations on reaching one of the most dynamic and diverse universities in the world.

I am Rebecca Munro and I am the Director of Student Experience at Warwick Law School. My role involves taking a strategic and holistic overview of your experience at Warwick. Along with Dr Carolina Alonso Bejanaro (Deputy Director of Student Experience), we will support you in various aspects of your engagement with the University of Warwick and Warwick Law School.

Warwick Law School pioneered the Law in Context approach as a novel way to examine, understand, teach, study and practice law. This approach situates law within its wider socio-political, economic and global setting, and will offer you the tools to understand how law interacts with various spheres that govern our world. The Law in Context approach is now followed the world over and has been a major driving force shaping the contemporary study of law.

We are proud to be an inclusive and diverse community and welcome students, colleagues, scholars and practitioners of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, ethnicities and abilities. We are also proud that we are consistently recognised as a world-leading university and an excellent law school. Our range of elective courses present a broad and socio-politically comprehensive law programme that can rival the courses of any law school the world over.

Your time here will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. As with all significant life experiences, it will also bring challenges from time to time, but we are here to listen to you and to help and guide you along the way.

We will represent your concerns at teaching forums and staff committees, ensuring that your collective voices about pedagogy, modules, skills, facilities and opportunities are heard and are part of our decision making processes. We will take a leading role in organising events and training activities that will add value to your time here at Warwick. We will also work together with you to ensure effective student representation at different forums and will work closely with Warwick Students’ Union, student societies and the Student Staff Liaison Committee.

With the support of your personal tutors, year tutors and the Student Wellbeing team at the Law School, we will help you do your best in your academic progress. The dedicated support at the Law School is in addition to the Health & Wellbeing team and Counselling Services offered by the University.

The Law School will continue to provide you with dedicated careers guidance and various skills development opportunities, especially with regards to academic skills, research and writing, advocacy and digital learning, plus many other areas. Through these opportunities, we will strive to ensure that you are prepared for your time here as well as life after Warwick.

Your journey from a student to a scholar or practitioner is important to you and to us. We look forward to working with you across the years and will work to ensure that your time at Warwick Law School is full of fond memories and prepares you for a successful, content and prosperous life afterwards.

I look forward to meeting you.
