Research degrees
The Dickson Poon School of Law is home to over 100 doctoral researchers. Their projects cover a broad range of topics from intellectual property to information technology, from competition law to counter-rules, from global justice to gender equality. We offer two research degrees – the Masters of Philosophy in Law (MPhil) and the Doctor of Philosophy in Law (PhD).
Our programmes are overseen by the Head of Research, Professor Penny Green and the Director of Graduate Research Studies, Dr Cian Murphy, a graduate of the King’s PhD programme and co-author of the forthcoming Getting a PhD in Law. At King’s, we believe in a full-time commitment to research and from 2011/12 our research degrees will be offered on a full-time basis only. For information on applying, see our Online Prospectus.
