Law Research Supervision and Training
As a postgraduate researcher, many support services and opportunities are available to you.
Training and development
You will have the opportunity to complete two research training programmes:
- HASS Faculty
- Law School
Satisfactory completion of the School and HASS Faculty programmes is a pre-requisite. This enables formal progression for PhD and MPhil students from year one to year two.
Satisfactory completion of both is a pre-requisite for LLM (by research) students. This enables formal progression from year one to two.
The HASS faculty provides a comprehensive humanities and social sciences training programme. We give you details on registration. The Faculty programme contains elements of:
- research organisation and structure
- thesis writing
- research methods in a range of social science disciplines
The Law School supplements the HASS Researcher Education and Development Programme. We provide training through the module LAW8152 Applied Research Methods in Law. The Law School programme includes:
- legal research techniques and sources including IT
- qualitative methods for legal research and for presentation of research data
- ethical/legal issues of legal research (including data protection)
