PhD Law and Criminology

Sheffield Hallam University

Undertake a period of intensive, supervised study, where you critically investigate and evaluate an approved topic and make an original contribution to knowledge. Your research will take place in the Sheffield Institute of Law and Justice. Your supervisory team will include a Director of Studies – as well as one or more second supervisors with expertise in your research area. Much of the work for your degree will be carried out independently, so you’ll need the initiative, motivation and commitment to succeed. Your supervisors will help you to define your research programme, agree any associated training requirements, and provide direction while encouraging you to develop as an independent researcher.
