The one-year Master of Arts program provides students with instruction in socio-legal theory and methodologies, along with a mandatory Major Research Paper. York University's PhD in Socio-Legal Studies leads the way among emerging interdisciplinary legal studies graduate programs across Europe and North America. As Canada's first doctoral program of its kind outside a law school, our PhD attracts students to work alongside faculty dedicated to rigorous research and academic excellence. The program brings together experts from diverse fields including law and society, criminology, political science, sociology, psychology, history, communication studies, women's studies, and legal studies.
