Finance overview    Funding    How to apply

The PhD is awarded after three to four years of full-time research (or five to seven years of part-time study) on the basis of a dissertation of 80,000 words (exclusive of footnotes, appendices and bibliography, but subject to an overall word limit of 100,000 words exclusive of bibliography, table of contents and any other preliminary matter). Examination for the PhD involves an oral examination (viva) by two examiners.

Research students who intend to undertake PhD research are in the first instance automatically registered for a one-year research training programme leading to the Certificate of Postgraduate Study (CPGS) in Legal Studies. They are assigned a supervisory team by the Degree Committee of the Faculty, ordinarily consisting of a supervisor (who is principally responsible for directing and assisting the research) and an advisor (who provides a second point of contact for academic advice). At the end of the first year, the Degree Committee decides whether students should be registered for the PhD. This decision is taken on the basis of the student’s personal progress log, first-year dissertation of 15,000 words, viva conducted by two assessors from within the Faculty, and outline of plans for the full research project. Candidates who successfully complete the requirements of the CPGS and the first-year progress review are retrospectively registered for the PhD.

All full-time PhD students are ordinarily required to be resident in Cambridge for the duration of their research (save where given leave to work away from Cambridge for academic reasons or whilst undertaking fieldwork), and during the first year in particular must attend weekly research training sessions in the Faculty.

This overview of the PhD programme must be read in conjunction with the detailed information available under the 'Courses' section (see, in particular, the Course Directory) of the Postgraduate Admissions website . Further information on postgraduate admission to research courses in the Faculty of Law is available from [email protected] or +44 (0)1223 330039.

Parents as Privacy Stewards (Bessant)

Advert Reference: RDF23/LAW/BESSANT

In recent years, scholars have begun to recognise the challenges parents may encounter when seeking to fulfil their role as the guardians or gatekeepers of their children’s privacy. Many parents have not grown up with the internet. First-time parents who use social media face new and difficult dilemmas; they know that sharing their children’s information may impact upon children’s privacy, yet at the same time they want to freely express themselves, and benefit from the connection and support that comes from sharing information with friends and family. Some parents may feel they have no real choice but to share their children’s information online. Increasingly parents are coerced into sharing their children’s information online, by family, friends, schools, the media and big brands. Social media companies and brands may monetise such information using it to profile families and target advertising.

Indeed, the parental privacy stewardship role is becoming increasingly difficult to fulfil as society becomes ever more datafied. Today’s children are the first generation to be ‘datafied’ from before birth, as companies collect information shared by parents via pregnancy monitoring apps. Parents often unwittingly develop children’s digital footprints further through baby trackers monitoring daily routines, social media updates, and home technologies including connected toys and home hubs. As children interact with the world, the collection of children’s information to profile and make decisions about children and their families further increases. Datafication results from children’s own interactions with mobile phones, wearable devices and social media. Children are datafied because public institutions are increasingly data driven. At school, children’s data is routinely collected and may subsequently be analysed to monitor educational progress, to evaluate behaviour, to track movements, to analyse canteen purchases, to predict progress, and to make interventions.

Children’s images may be shared by schools keen to promote the positive educational experiences they offer. Consent to use children’s information is not always sought from parents, despite their important privacy stewardship role. Indeed, it can be difficult for parents to know when and how children’s information is being collected and used by third parties. This is particularly the case as ‘dark’ or ‘deceptive’ design approaches are increasingly used by commercial entities to manipulate children and parents into revealing personal information.

This project will develop understanding of how the law regulates use of children’s information and how parents can be supported to effectively protect their children’s privacy in an increasingly datafied world.

This project is supervised by Dr Claire Bessant. For informal queries, please contact [email protected].

Using AI in Sentencing and Management of Offenders (Tiarks)

Advert Reference: RDF23/LAW/TIARKS

This project will explore the current and future possible uses of artificial intelligence in sentencing and offender management in England and Wales. Examples from the United States, where the use of AI in criminal justice is more extensive, will also be considered. The project will assess the legal, ethical and human rights implications of using AI to assist decision-making about sentencing and the management of offenders. It is expected that the project will take an interdisciplinary and mixed methods approach, and qualitative and quantitative methods are encouraged where appropriate to explore the project issues.

The use of AI has increased in recent years, including in the field of criminal justice. Potential benefits which have been raised include a reduction in judicial bias, arbitrariness in decision-making and costs, as well as an increase in transparency in decision-making and overall efficiency. Conversely, it has been argued that the use of AI in sentencing and the management of offenders is more likely to increase bias and decrease transparency, with particular criticism aimed at the more advanced uses of AI in some states in the US.

The current use of AI in sentencing and the management of offenders in England and Wales is limited, but there is some indication that introducing more advanced machine learning methods is under consideration in England and Wales. The willingness to use machine learning in risk assessments used for predictive policing, e.g. Durham Constabulary’s Harm Assessment Risk Tool (HART), suggests that this may be the direction of travel. More advanced machine learning methods have been used in similar tools relied on to assist with sentencing and parole decisions in the US, e.g. Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS).

There is an urgent need for research into the legal, ethical and human rights implications of using AI in sentencing and the management of offenders. This project will make an important contribution to scholarship on this issue, weighing up the arguments for and against the current and proposed future uses of AI in sentencing and the management of offenders in England and Wales, having regard to other developments in the use of AI in criminal justice processes in England and Wales, and the uses in sentencing in the US.

Criminal Law and Queer Male Desire (Ashford)

Advert Reference: RDF23/LAW/ASHFORD

Criminal Law continues to reach into the regulation of queer male desire whether in the form of the legacy from historic laws, or ongoing criminalization of sex or offences often related to sex, for example in relation to sex work, HIV transmission, public sex, or aspects of expression for example in relation to pornography.  Theoretical research, notably queer interventions from Adler (2018), Brooks (2019), Cossman (2007, 2021), Fischel (2016, 2019), and others have sought to challenge the boundaries of law and interrogate ideas of consent, bodily autonomy, ethics, and legal reform.  This project will provide an original socio-legal theoretical contribution developing these themes and is likely to incorporate empirical work. 

This research project will be conducted within the Gender, Sexuality, and Law research cluster, part of the Law and Society Research Group in the Faculty of Business and Law, where you will join a rich and thriving research community.  Examples of doctoral work that has been undertaken within this group include:;  same sex relationships and normative expectations; kink pornography and legal consciousness; equality and anti-discrimination law; international law, detention and sexual orientation and gender identity; sex work and international human rights; political and legal responses to sex work; and dating apps and HIV disclosure.

Applicants should clearly indicate where they would wish to focus the project within the context of the themes set out above.  The research will fall within the broad ambit of socio-legal methods and methodology and the application should clearly identify how it will do this.  Your project is likely to draw on queer and/or feminist perspectives but you should clearly articulate your proposed approach and methodology.

21st Century Security Law (Boukalas)

Advert Reference: RDF23/LAW/BOUKALAS

Across the western world, the 21st century has been marked by the emergence of grave threats and the concomitant rise of security as a top social and political priority. Whether the threat is posed by terrorism or, more recently, a virus, western states conceptualise and communicate it as existential and mobilise a broad range of powers and resources to counter it. Moreover, governments do not seem to envision a future without threat: military confrontation and the multifaceted impacts of environmental crisis are added to the threat of pandemics and terrorism. As the threat becomes a permanent feature of society’s present and future, the security endeavour becomes perpetual and intense. This results to a hardening of the way the state relates to its citizens: in restriction of freedoms, increased suspicion and intolerance to resistance and protest.

Law is a key resource in this security endeavour. The state has been producing laws that are instrumental to its security objectives, so that Security Law has become a distinct and highly dynamic area of law in the 21st century. Security law has important effects on the broader legal framework — civil liberties; human rights; criminal, administrative and constitutional law; processes of investigation and trial — as well as the role, logic and purpose of law.

This call is for PhD proposals aiming to investigate 21st century security law in the west. Proposals should aim to examine relevant legal developments in one or more European, North American or South American countries or the European Union. Proposals are invited to focus in one or more areas of security law, especially on: (a) counterterrorism; (b) surveillance and intelligence; (c) biosecurity and public health; and (d) protest and public order. The research will also aim to assess the implications of security law for the broader legal framework; for the political institutions that produce and implement it; and on the role of law in mediating the relations between the state and society.

In their proposal, applicants are required to demonstrate their awareness of relevant literature and key legal documents and developments. They are also required to outline the key research questions they seek to investigate and the way they would approach them.

The research invited by this call is interdisciplinary, as it draws —at a minimum— from Law (doctrinal; theoretical; and socio-legal) as well as Social and Political theory. It is aligned with the Criminal Justice and the Law and Society research streams in the Law School.

Re-Imagining Secure Care (Wake)

Advert Reference: RDF23/LAW/WAKE

This PhD invites candidates to explore the following question: how can Secure Children’s Homes help to bridge the gap between custody and the community, in a way which supports children’s right to agentic engagement with their future pro-social development?

We encourage candidates who have the aspiration and ability to advance knowledge and understanding in this area through theoretically-informed empirical research. The candidate might approach this project from the perspective of a range of disciplines and fields of study, including socio-legal studies, youth and childhood studies, criminology, policy studies and adjacent fields of study.

This project is supervised by Professor Nicola Wake. For informal queries, please contact [email protected]

• Location: Houghton Street, London

LSE Law is the UK's pre-eminent research institution for law. Our academics are the authors of influential and often path-breaking scholarship, and many have globally leading reputations. As one of UK's largest law departments, with over 70 academic members of staff, LSE Law is well known for its interdisciplinary and contextual approaches to the study of law.

Our PhD Law programme offers the opportunity to undertake advanced legal research at one of the world's best law schools. Students in our PhD programme receive excellent training, and work under the supervision of leading scholars with strong international, comparative and interdisciplinary commitments. Our doctoral students become members of a lively academic community which is at the cutting-edge of legal scholarship and which plays a major role in the education of lawyers and law teachers from around the world.

Students in our PhD programme work under the supervision of two academics. We also provide specialised training for PhD students, both through our own training course and through courses run by other units of LSE, especially the Department of Methodology and the PhD Academy. PhD students are also welcome to attend any other LSE course, subject to the approval of the lecturer. We aim to provide our PhD students with the opportunity to gain teaching experience, and also offer the opportunity to become involved with the organisation of mooting, academic conferences, pro bono work, and our working paper series. Each year two PhD students also serve as Masters advisers/PhD Representatives.

Programme details

For more information about tuition fees and entry requirements, see the fees and funding and assessing your application sections.

Entry requirements

Minimum entry requirements for mphil/phd law .

Our normal minimum entry requirement is a completed LLM degree or other masters-level qualification, awarded with an average mark of 70% (distinction/first class honours) or equivalent. Exceptionally, we may admit students who do not meet this requirement, where there is strong, alternative evidence of your suitability for our PhD programme.

Although we accept applications from students who have not yet completed their LLM or equivalent degree by the application deadline, we give priority within the admissions process to students who have already obtained the required grade by this date. Strong candidates who are currently completing their LLM/other masters degree may therefore wish to defer their application until they have received the requisite grade. Offers of admission and funding that are made to applicants who are currently undertaking their LLM/other masters degree are made on a “conditional” basis, meaning that the offer cannot be confirmed until the minimum entry requirement has been achieved. Conditional offers must be confirmed by the end of July of the year of entry at the latest. This means that current master students who will not have their final grades/transcript by the end of July (including students on the LSE LLM degree) are not eligible to apply to the PhD programme, unless they already hold another masters degree with the requisite grade.

It must be emphasised that meeting the minimum entry requirement does not guarantee entry. The PhD programme is heavily over-subscribed, meaning that the large majority of applicants who meet this requirement each year do not receive a place. We select students based on a variety of factors, including past academic performance, motivation for doctoral study, the viability of the applicant’s research proposal and its anticipated contribution to legal scholarship, the availability of suitable supervisors, and the diversity of the incoming PhD cohort, including diversity of subject-areas.

Research proposal

Your application should give us a clear idea of what you want to research and why.

You should state the general area in which you wish to undertake research, and provide a detailed outline of the specific questions you intend to investigate within that field. You should indicate the ways in which your proposed study would be a significant and original contribution to knowledge. You should identify the materials you expect to need, where you expect to find them, and the methods and/or framework of analysis you propose to use. Finally, you should explain how your proposed project is a good fit with other research work done within the Law School.

More detailed information on the admissions requirements for the programme, and guidance on what is required to form a successful research proposal is available in the LSE Law PhD programme FAQs page .

Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission. 

If you have studied or are studying outside of the UK then have a look at our  Information for International Students  to find out the entry requirements that apply to you.

Assessing your application

We welcome applications from students whose proposed research projects complement the academic interests of members of staff at the School, and we recommend that you investigate staff research interests before applying. Applicants may wish to approach potential supervisors at the Law School to gauge their availability in a particular year and/or their willingness to supervise a specific research topic. However, you are not required to contact potential supervisors before applying, and doing so provides no advantage in the admissions process. If your application is successful, two academic members of staff will be appointed to supervise you.

We carefully consider each application on an individual basis, taking into account all the information presented on your application form, including your:

- academic achievement (including existing and pending qualifications) - statement of academic purpose - references - CV - outline research proposal - sample of written work.

See further information on supporting documents

You may also have to provide evidence of your English proficiency. You do not need to provide this at the time of your application to LSE, but we recommend that you do.  See our English language requirements .

In most instances, we hold a brief interview with shortlisted applicants as part of the admissions process. This is typically conducted by an applicant’s potential supervisors, it takes place virtually (e.g. over Zoom), and it lasts about half an hour. The purpose of the interview is to further assess both the applicant’s motivation for doctoral study and the feasibility of the proposed research project. No preparation is required for the interview, although we recommend that you look over the material that you have submitted with your application beforehand.

When to apply

The application deadline for this programme is 1 December 2023 . To be considered for any LSE funding opportunity, you must have submitted your application and all supporting documents by the funding deadline. See the fees and funding section for more details. Candidates are responsible for ensuring that any necessary supporting materials (e.g. letters of reference sent by referees on their behalf) reach the LSE in good time, and are advised to start the admissions process as early as possible as a result.

Fees and funding

Every research student is charged a fee in line with the fee structure for their programme. The fee covers registration and examination fees payable to the School, lectures, classes and individual supervision, lectures given at other colleges under intercollegiate arrangements and, under current arrangements, membership of the Students' Union. It does not cover  living costs  or travel or fieldwork.

Tuition fees 2024/25 for MPhil/PhD Law

Home students: £4,829 for the first year (provisional) Overseas students: £22,632 for the first year

The fee is likely to rise over subsequent years of the programme. The School charges home research students in line with the level of fee that the Research Councils recommend. The fees for overseas students are likely to rise in line with the assumed percentage increase in pay costs (i.e. 4 per cent per annum).

The Table of Fees shows the latest tuition amounts for all programmes offered by the School.

The amount of tuition fees you will need to pay, and any financial support you are eligible for, will depend on whether you are classified as a home or overseas student, otherwise known as your fee status. LSE assesses your fee status based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education.

Further information about fee status classification.

Scholarships, studentships and other funding

The School recognises that the  cost of living in London  may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.

LSE Law School nonetheless aims to ensure that all students have adequate funding for their studies, typically through the award of an LSE PhD Studentship . A Studentship covers the cost of the student’s tuition fees and also provides a generous annual maintenance stipend (£23,000 for 2023/24). Studentships come with a teaching requirement of approximately 100 hours of classroom teaching to be completed over the course of the candidate’s PhD studies. The Law School also offers an annual personal research allowance of £1,000, and other benefits such as access to our PhD Field Work fund.

There is no separate application process for LSE PhD Studentships, as funding awards are considered alongside admission to the doctoral programme. All applicants must apply by the ordinary application deadline of 1 December 2023 .

In addition to our needs-based awards, LSE also makes available scholarships for students from specific regions of the world and awards for students studying specific subject areas.  Find out more about financial support.

External funding 

There may be other funding opportunities available through other organisations or governments and we recommend you investigate these options as well.

You must note, however, that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options.

Supervision, progression and assessment

Supervision.

You will be assigned two supervisors who are specialists in your chosen research field, though not necessarily in your topic. 

Progression and assessment

Full-time PhD students must complete their doctorate within four years, and part-time students must complete it within eight years.

At the end of the first year (or, in the case of part-time students, second year), your progress is formally assessed. Successful completion of this assessment then sees you registered as a candidate for the PhD degree.  As part of this assessment (or ‘upgrade’) process, you will present your work-in-progress at our Upgrade Conference, attended by academic staff and PhD students. Third year doctoral students also give a seminar on their work-in-progress, again attended by academic staff and PhD students.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

A PhD is an internationally-recognised research qualification.

Studying for a PhD in Law, Criminology or Criminal Justice will allow you to become an expert in a specialist legal area and gain high-quality research training, which will equip you to undertake further research projects.

PhD in Law, Criminology or Criminal Justice

As a PhD candidate, you will carry out original research under the guidance of two supervisors and produce an original thesis of approximately 100,000 words.

For the first twelve months, or eighteen months if part-time, you will be enrolled as a provisional PhD candidate. In this period, you will develop a detailed research proposal and write a literature review. This work is then submitted to a panel of examiners who assess it and provide you with feedback and advice on the progress of your research.

This procedure is called a 'transfer' and is an important means of monitoring the progress of your work, assessing, amongst other matters, whether your proposal has enough weight to be accurately explored through a PhD research path.

After successfully transferring, you will enrol as a full PhD candidate, complete your research and write a thesis of approximately 100,000 words. 

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded on the basis of your thesis, and your viva voce, where you present and discuss the rationale, methods and findings of your original study with an examining panel.

A PhD can be taken full-time (three years) or part-time (five years).

Areas of supervision

Our research supervision offers a wide breadth of activity across several key academic teams. 

Explore our research areas to discover the themes and supervisors relating to your field of study: 

• Centre for Business Law and Practice
• Centre for Criminal Justice Studies
• Centre for Innovation and Research in Legal Education
• Centre for Law and Social Justice

Many of our academic staff are also involved in the Leeds Social Science Institute which fosters interdisciplinary research collaborations and provides training for our postgraduate researchers.

Sean Butcher PhD Law

“My research has developed in fascinating ways that I couldn’t have anticipated. But beyond this, I’ve had a chance to assist with research projects undertaken by other members of staff, complete an exciting programme of research training, engage in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and present at and host conferences. All of this has been invaluable in shaping my academic skills and profile, which is vital to enhancing my career prospects.”

How to Find a Supervisor

The Degree Committee will, in the course of considering a strong application, take steps to identify a suitable and available supervisor based on how closely an applicant's research proposal matches the academic interests and areas of expertise of possible supervisors whom they identify.    Applicants are, however, strongly encouraged to name one or more potential supervisors on page one of the Postgraduate Application Form based on their familiarity with the potential supervisor's research (please consult the Faculty's website for a list of teaching members and their research interests ).  The Degree Committee may take these preferences into consideration.

About Postgraduate Law

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Law through distance learning offers a flexible platform for in-depth legal research and scholarship. It caters to those who wish to combine an advanced higher education qualification with their existing work or personal commitments by providing the ability to study from anywhere globally. You’ll be able to undertake the majority of your research at an off-campus location.

There are 19 such courses in the UK, and full-time students are expected to complete their work within three years. Courses are competitive, and a first class or upper second-class honours degree in law (or a subject related to the proposed area of research) is usually required.

What to Expect

The distance learning Law PhD spans approximately 3 to 6 years, depending on whether you choose to study with full-time or part-time enrolment. The programme is predominantly research-based, requiring candidates to produce a lengthy thesis that offers a significant, original contribution to the legal profession. This involves rigorous independent research, under the guidance of experienced faculty members who provide academic oversight and support through online communication.

Candidates are required to engage in critical analysis of legal texts, case studies and contemporary legal issues, demonstrating critical thinking and analytical skills. Online seminars and workshops are integral to the curriculum, promoting academic development and networking within the legal community.

Upon completion, graduates possess a thorough understanding of their chosen area of law, prepared for careers in academia, legal research, policy development or high-level advisory roles.
