Programme overview
Our MA by Research in Law has been developed to allow you to undertake a research project in an area that interests you, within a shorter timeframe than the two year MPhil or three year PhD. If you are interested in converting to an MPhil or PhD at a later stage, the MA by Research is sufficiently flexible to allow you to do so.
The programme is ideal if you wish to research an area of interest within a 12 month period and, as such, is well suited for those in employment. The award of MA by Research is clear evidence to employers, whether academic or professional, of your ability to conduct independent research to produce original material within a prescribed timescale. It is also an appropriate route to a PhD and successful students have the option to transfer to an MPhil or PhD on completion.
Our academics have a very wide range of research interests and
supervision can be arranged in most fields of legal study. There is
particular expertise in European and international law, commercial and
common law, English legal history and professional legal studies. Our research web pages provide details of research topics and centres within the School of Law. You can also view staff profiles for more details of the research interests of individual members of academic staff.
