PhD in Law, Criminology or Criminal Justice - Business Law and Practice in Leeds United Kingdom | University of Leeds

Pursuing a PhD in Law, Criminology, or Criminal Justice enables you to specialize in a specific legal field while receiving comprehensive research training that prepares you for future academic projects. As a doctoral researcher, you'll conduct original studies under the supervision of two advisors and produce a thesis of roughly 100,000 words. Initially, you'll be registered as a provisional PhD candidate for twelve months (or eighteen if studying part-time), during which you'll refine your research proposal and complete a literature review. This preliminary work is evaluated by an examination panel, who offer feedback and guidance on your research direction—a process known as 'transfer,' crucial for assessing whether your project has the depth required for doctoral-level investigation.
