The Doctor of Philosophy (Integrated) (Law) is a four-year research program that blends a standard three-year PhD dissertation with one year of coursework. This integrated approach merges general research preparation with specialized legal studies in a unified curriculum.
During your initial year, you'll complete coursework focusing on research techniques and specialized legal subjects. The research training covers essential skills like methodology, literature evaluation, critical thinking, and may include advanced studies or a small-scale research project. You'll select individual subjects primarily from the Law discipline's Master's coursework options, enabling deeper expertise in your chosen specialization.
For international students aspiring to academic careers in their home countries, these subjects provide valuable exposure to Australian educational approaches.
The research phase mirrors the conventional three-year PhD structure, culminating in a written thesis. This substantial academic work must make an original contribution to your field and cannot exceed 100,000 words.
To advance to the research phase, you must achieve at least a 65% average in your first year, including 65% in all research methodology courses. Your specific research focus will be finalized before beginning the dissertation component.
