Course summary
Edinburgh Law School’s PhD programme seeks to train the future world leaders in law and criminology research and is available to study full-time over three years or part-time over six years (subject to visa restrictions). A PhD at Edinburgh Law School involves undertaking independent research, culminating in the submission of a 100,000 word thesis, which should be an original piece of work that makes a significant contribution to knowledge in a chosen field of study and contains material worthy of publication.

- supervision by a team of experts in your chosen field of study
- a PhD training programme which provides a basic foundation in legal and criminological research methods, as well as key transferable skills
