PHD

The Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) includes writing a thesis of between 75,000 and 100,000 words over a period of three, or at most four years (six to eight years for part-time students). The thesis must make a significant and substantial contribution to its field. All students will be admitted to Probationer Research Student (PRS) status in the first instance, and all students except those who have previously completed the MPhil in Law will undertake a course in legal research methods during the first year as a full-time student or in the first two years as a part-time student. This provides training in legal research methodology, but it will also expose students to the diversity of and intellectual challenges involved in legal scholarship and serves as a forum of peers in which they can discuss the methodological challenges involved in their own research.
