The MPhil Law at the University of Exeter offers you the opportunity to conduct in-depth, independent research within a supportive and intellectually stimulating academic environment. This postgraduate degree is ideal for those aiming to deepen their understanding of legal history, family law and policy, or international law, and to contribute original scholarship to these fields. You will engage with a vibrant research culture, benefiting from close supervision and opportunities to present your work alongside eminent scholars and peers, refining your academic voice and research methodologies.
This full-time, on-campus MPhil programme is typically studied over three years, allowing you to develop a significant research project under the guidance of an expert supervisor. You will participate in research workshops and 'mini-vivas', honing your presentation skills and engaging with diverse legal perspectives. Your research journey will culminate in a dissertation, demonstrating your mastery of chosen legal specialisms such as European law, commercial law, or human rights law. You will graduate prepared for further doctoral study or for careers in legal practice, policy, or academia.
