The 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.
You will complete a 15-credit core module in Approaches to Research in Law. You may choose to study a further 15-credit module from any of our Masters programmes. The remainder of your credits will be awarded for a thesis, of a maximum 40,000 words in length. You will be supervised in preparing your thesis by a member of staff with expertise appropriate to your chosen area of study.
Applying for a research degree
Applicants for the research programme are advised to check the staff research interests and make preliminary enquiries about supervision before making an application.
