This subject comprises the research and writing of a supervised thesis on an approved topic in law. The thesis is between 8,000 and 12,000 words providing an opportunity for postgraduate students to further develop and refine their legal research and writing skills as well as explore and analyse a topic of law of their own choosing at a high level to produce a superior quality piece of academic work.
In most cases, the research thesis extends and develops research done in one or more of the electives already undertaken, but in appropriate circumstances a candidate may undertake a new topic.
