Postgraduate

This subject comprises the research and writing of a supervised thesis on an approved topic in law. The thesis is between 8000–12,000 words providing an opportunity for postgraduate law 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 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.

While LLM students may undertake this subject as a law option subject, it is not necessary under the honours rules that LLM students complete the LLM Project by Research for the award of honours to be conferred. LLM students may qualify for the award of honours if they have received a percentage mark of at least 80 per cent in all subjects.

Enrolment in this subject for Master of Laws students is generally appropriate for students in their final semester of study.

Juris Doctor and Juris Doctor/MBA students who commenced studies in 2012 or after, are required to have provisional WAM of 73 across all subjects attempted in order to undertake this subject. The application form can be found online at http://www.law.uts.edu.au/honours/forms.html.

Early submission of proposal and form is encouraged. Forms are accepted and processed from Week 12 of the preceding semester. The last date to submit forms is two weeks before the commencement of semester to allow for processing.
