Dr Greta Bosch has been at Exeter University since 2002. Greta is the Director of International Programmes. She is a member of the Taught Faculty Sub-Committee. Greta is also an Aspire Mentor.

Greta's research interests lie in International Human Rights Law, specifically Equality, non-discrimination and affirmative action. She has published on human rights and racial equality with special reference to South Africa, and is currently researching interdisciplinary approaches to legal education. Most recently Greta and her team were awarded a competitive grant from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to look at what causes different levels of attainment for ethnic groups in professional assessments. This research should help to increase understanding about the factors that are driving this picture and to identify steps that could be taken to make a difference and help to close the attainment gap.  It will be an extensive programme that will take until the end of 2023 to complete.

Greta is module convenor on Law2034 EU Law, on the interdisciplinary module Law3169 Equality and Diversity at Work, as well as Law2095 Equality and Diversity. In 2018 Greta received the National Teaching Fellowship Award, one of the most prestigious national awards for higher education teaching.
