Description
This subject comprises the research and writing of a supervised thesis on an approved topic in law. The thesis is in the range of 10,000 to 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.
