About Law, PhD - at University of Nottingham

A PhD is the most advanced form of postgraduate study. It is awarded on the successful completion of supervised research, verbal examination and final thesis.

In the school, we promote research excellence, recognising that high-quality legal research may take many different forms. We use a variety of research methods across our projects.

You will be assigned two supervisors who will have the appropriate expertise to support your research project. The school offers supervision in most subject areas, and for interdisciplinary projects which have a legal aspect to them.

Law research areas include:

  • commercial law
  • criminal justice
  • environmental law
  • european law
  • human rights
  • intellectual property law
  • international law
  • maritime law
  • public procurement

We promote a vibrant and diverse academic and social community, with research students from all over the world.

Research students and academics are all engaged in the same endeavours and can learn a great deal from each other. We actively encourage our doctoral students to engage in the wider community of the school and play a full role in its research activities.

While legal research is often an individual activity, many collaborative research activities take place, including co-authorship of publications, and reading and discussion groups. In addition, our research students organise their own seminar series, which helps them practise and develop their presentation skills.
