Funded PhD Programme (Students Worldwide)

Egham United Kingdom Commercial Law Contract Law Criminal Law Law Property Law

About the Programme

Applications for full-time (or part-time) enrollment in the PhD programme in Law are invited for entry in September 2022.

The multidisciplinary Department of Law and Criminology has an active research culture spanning criminology, forensic psychology, law, social policy, and sociology. Staff and postgraduate students work together in research clusters to organise events, submit funding applications, publish, and create a supportive research environment across four main research themes of: Crime and Punishment; Families and Children; Health and Social Care; and Rights and Freedoms.

In the Department of Law and Criminology we have around 50 PhD students pursuing cutting-edge research and undertaking advanced training in a friendly and stimulating environment. Most students work within their own disciplines (such as law) but a benefit of a multidisciplinary environment is the opportunity to draw on the work of other disciplines to inform your own research, and for those perspectives to challenge your ideas and assumptions.

Royal Holloway is proud to be part of the Techne partnership with nine other leading UK universities. Techne provides AHRC studentships for PhD study. In addition to Techne, a small number of competitive scholarships are available for Home, EU and Overseas students.

Candidates with a background in law are encouraged to apply for the scholarships. Candidates must:

Have a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent.
Have a Masters-level qualification (or be completing by September 2022).
Have excellent interpersonal communication skills, drive and initiative.

For information on how to apply for a research degree, please review the Entry Requirements section and follow the step-by-step guide. Please also review the Techne web pages for information about the research that has been funded through the scheme.

The deadline for applications to Royal Holloway, University of London is 5pm GMT on Monday 10^th January 2022. Eligible applicants will be contacted by the Department.

Informal enquiries can be addressed to Dr Emily Glorney (Emily.Glorney[at]rhul.ac.uk)
