At various stages in your legal career, a research degree can help you develop professionally and improve your career prospects in this competitive sector. Choose a topic for thesis study and become a specialist in a particular area of law, or develop your interest in a specific legal topic, and stand out from the crowd of undergraduates.
During the course you work largely independently but you are guided by an experienced supervisor in a supportive environment. You can access legal materials in our dedicated law library in the learning centre, which is open 24-hours a day during term time. Our IT systems are set up so that most of your learning and research can be done anywhere off campus where you have access to a suitable internet connection.
You learn through:
- 30,000 word thesis
- oral or approved alternative examination
