The Edinburgh Law School is a vibrant, collegial and enriching community of legal, sociolegal and criminology researchers and offers an excellent setting for doctoral research.
Our doctoral researchers are key to the School’s research activities, and we work hard to ensure that they are fully engaged with staff and projects across all of our legal disciplines.
You will find opportunities in the following fields: company and commercial law; comparative law; constitutional and administrative law; criminal law; criminology and criminal justice.
Career opportunitiesUpon completion of the PhD, the majority of our students progress to postdoctoral research or lecturing and teaching roles.
Recent graduates have also found employment in roles as diverse as prison governor, solicitor and policy adviser for organisations including: the International Criminal Court; The Hague; Anderson Strathern; HM Prison Service.
A UK 2:1 honours degree in law, arts or social sciences, and a UK Masters degree with at least 60% in the taught section and 65% or more in the dissertation, or their international equivalents. The majority of our applicants have studied law, but we are a comprehensive Law School covering a range of approaches to legal topics including social science, historical and philosophical enquiry; applications from non-law students with relevant studies and experience will be considered and if you require further guidance please contact us. Entry to this programme is competitive. Meeting minimum requirements for consideration does not guarantee an offer of study.
