The School of Law and Government offers highly dedicated supervision of research students.  We welcome applications to our three postgraduate research programmes: MA by Research, LLM by Research and PhD. These awards are made following the successful submission of a thesis. The thesis for the MA and LLM is generally around 40,000 words. A PhD thesis is usually around 85,000 words. Students may register on either a full-time or part-time basis. Please read the detailed information on the PhD Programme in Politics and International Relations and Research Degrees in Law. Since postgraduate students are an integral part of our research, we also recommend that you browse the School’s research pages.
