Research topics

In the past, students have undertaken research in the following areas:

  • International Joint Venture Agreements in Developing Countries and less developed countries - developing a legal framework
  • Family law in Kazakhstan

Research routes

We offer three different programmes of postgraduate study, each in either full-time or part-time mode. The first two comprise degree by research while the third represents a taught programme. The degrees by research require an original contribution to the body of knowledge in a particular academic or professional discipline.

  • DPhil - 3 academic years of full time study or 6 years of part time study.
  • MPhil- 2 academic years of full time study or 4 years of part time study.
  • LLM - 1 academic year of full time study.

Normally, postgraduate students wishing to register for our DPhil programme must first register for the MPhil and seek conversion at a later stage. The School operates a system of preliminary registration for all research degrees to allow students to prepare a formal proposal during their first two terms of study. All research students must also subject their work to an annual progress review.
