Onyeka Osuji has been lecturing in Law at the University's Cornwall campus since 2007. He was nominated for two teaching awards in 2010: "departmental lecturer" and "feedback-er" of the year.
I had my early education in Nigeria. I obtained my first degree in law from the University of Nigeria where I graduated as the Best Student of the Faculty of Law. I also attended the Nigerian Law School and was awarded the Best Overall Performance (Second Prize) and two prizes in Legal Drafting and Conveyancing. I attended the University of Oxford, United Kingdom as a Shell Centenary/FCO Chevening Scholar where I obtained my master of law degree (BCL). I obtained my PhD (law) degree from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom. I was called to the Nigerian Bar and have been a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria since January 2001. I am also qualified as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales.
I teach contract law, commercial law and corporate law and governance and supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students. Although I am primarily based at the Cornwall Campus of the University, my teaching and supervision roles are across the two campuses. The University's campuses in Devon and Cornwall are in beautiful locations. They suit academic work while providing a relaxed and generally hassle-free living environment. The natural environment is impressive and attracts tourists all year round.
My interest is broadly on law and business, particularly general commercial law, company law and corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, contract law, consumer law, regulation and multinational enterprises. I have written and presented papers on such issues as corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, corporate corruption, consumer advertising, regulation of multinationals, law and information technology, removal of company directors, and aviation financing.
