我们的研究学生将从充满活力的研究社区，有利的环境以及许多与学术研究和当代问题进行重要接触的机会中受益匪浅。他们沉浸在一种研究文化中，该文化在其历史，社会和经济背景下进行法律研究。法学院拥有活跃而支持学生的社区，并拥有出色的专用研究生设施。通常为学生分配两名主管，他们对研究的性质，所需的工作标准以及应参考的相关文献和资料来源提供指导。学生和导师每月开会，确保在学位期间持续不断的支持。法学硕士一年全日制，两年兼职，MPhil两年全日制，三年兼职
Our research students benefit immensely from a vibrant research community, a supportive environment and many opportunities to engage critically with academic research and contemporary issues. They are immersed in a research culture which situates legal studies in its historical, political, social and economic context. In addition to the standard on-campus research degree, we have also developed an external research route. External research degrees are designed for those who are in the process of establishing their careers as researchers or who need to study alongside other commitments. They are ideal for individuals who are looking for an opportunity to undertake a LLM-R but may not be in a position to relocate. International students wishing to undertake their entire programme from overseas will not require immigration sponsorship and should apply as an external research student, stating this clearly in the Reasons for Study section of the application form.<br><br>You can study the LLM by Research (LLM-R) on a full-time or part-time basis. Studying for an LLM-R part-time is a rewarding and challenging experience. While everyone is different we would expect students to need two days a week to focus intensively on their LLM-R in addition to the compulsory training offered. There may also be additional periods of more intense and concentrated research and writing. We do not advise full-time working while studying for a LLM-R part-time, and suggest part-time applicants who are working to outline a plan in their application for how they intend to balance working with their LLM-R study.
