Pursuing a PhD in Law, Criminology, or Criminal Justice enables you to specialize in a particular legal field while receiving comprehensive research training that prepares you for future academic projects. As a doctoral student, you'll conduct innovative research with support from two supervisors, culminating in an original dissertation of around 100,000 words. Initially, you'll be registered as a provisional PhD candidate for twelve months (or eighteen months if studying part-time). During this phase, you'll refine your research proposal and compile a literature review, which will be evaluated by an examination panel. This 'transfer' process serves as a crucial checkpoint to assess your research direction and determine if your project has sufficient depth for doctoral-level investigation.
Our research initiatives strive to create meaningful change within the School of Law and wider academic community. Current studies focus on teaching methodologies, professional development, student progression, and global perspectives in legal education.
