QueenMary University LAHP Studentship | DETAILS

The School of Law would generally come under the area of ‘Law and Legal Studies’ as the AHRC defines it, which incorporates the following specific areas of legal research:

• Jurisprudence/Philosophy of Law
• Human Rights
• Criminal Law and Criminology
• International Law
• EU Law
• Public Law
• Comparative Law
• Common Law, including Commercial Law
• Law Regulated by Statute
• Law Relating to Property
• Legal History

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the studentship, applicants are expected to meet the following conditions:

• Applicants can be domestic or international students
• Applicants to gain a ‘Pass with Distinction’ on an LLM or equivalent post-graduate qualification in Law, such as an MA.
• For degrees taken outside of the UK, the applicant must obtain the grade equivalent to a UK ‘Pass with Distinction’.
• For applicants from non-English speaking countries, proof of English language competency may be required.
• While these requirements are higher than the general requirements the LAHP has, applicants should note that the higher requirements of the School of Law’s PhD programme take precedence.

Application Procedures

• How-to-Apply: You are recommended that you submit a PhD application to the School of Law as the first step of the application process.
• Once this has been submitted then the School of Law can appoint a supervisor with relevant expertise as part of the application review process. The LAHP funding application form can be found here.
• Applicants should only then prepare and submit their LAHP application form and Supervisor Statement form once they have spoken to their appointed supervisor.
• If the deadline is approaching and applicants haven’t submitted a main PhD application, the School advises that applicants should both organise submission of their PhD and LAHP applications simultaneously – meaning they should arrange supervision directly with a supervisor.

Application Deadline: January 28, 2022
