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.
Further information on admissions
To be considered for a research degree in Law, you need to have a good honours degree and to show evidence of research ability. Further information on our academic entry requirements, tuition fees and application procedures is available on this website and from the University's Admissions Office.
Please compete an application form and also submit a resume of your area of research in about 1,000 words (citing bibliography and sources) to Professor Susan Edwards. From this, we will assess whether the appropriate supervision is available.
