6 courses offered in the Faculty of Law

Corporate law - mcl - closed.

The MCL is an academically rigorous master's programme taught by the Cambridge Law Faculty's team of corporate lawyers, widely recognised as one of the strongest in the corporate law field.  The MCL offers students the opportunity to engage in a detailed study of the legal and regulatory framework within which companies are governed and financed.  In so doing it combines practical insights with an academic approach.  The MCL, therefore, constitutes an ideal graduate programme both for those intending to enter or progress within corporate practice and for those who are planning a career in academia.

More Information

International Law - PGDip - Closed

The Postgraduate Diploma in International Law may be awarded by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Law to a candidate who, after one year of independent research in Cambridge on an approved topic within the field of international law, submits for examination a thesis not exceeding 30,000 words inclusive of footnotes but exclusive of appendices and bibliography. Students are assigned a supervisor by the Faculty's Degree Committee. There is no coursework or formal teaching although students are encouraged to attend the weekly (term-time) classes provided by the Faculty's Research Training and Development Programme. The course can also be taken on a part-time basis over two years.

Law - LLM - Closed

The LLM is a nine-month taught master’s degree with a potential dissertation element of 25 per cent.  It offers highly qualified and academically outstanding students the opportunity to pursue their legal studies at an advanced level in an intellectually challenging and supportive environment.  The Cambridge programme has rich historical traditions and attracts common law and civil law students of the highest calibre from approximately 50 jurisdictions.  It is intended for those wishing to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law.  Applicants include both recent graduates considering an academic career or intending to practise law and those already in practice seeking to broaden their intellectual horizons. 

Law - PhD - Closed

The PhD in Law may be awarded after three to four years of full-time study or five to seven years of part-time study (including a probationary period) of supervised independent research on the basis of a thesis not exceeding 100,000 words exclusive of bibliography, table of contents and any other preliminary matter.  Students are appointed a principal supervisor by the Faculty's Degree Committee as well as an adviser to act as a source of advice on matters relating to a student's research and research environment.  If the project is interdisciplinary, a second supervisor may be appointed. It is a requirement of the first year of study that students attend, in term-time only, the research training classes provided by the Faculty's Research Training and Development Programme.  

Law - MLitt - Closed

The MLitt degree may be awarded after two years of supervised independent research (or a proportionally longer period if undertaken on a part-time basis) and following examination of a thesis not exceeding 60,000 words inclusive of footnotes but exclusive of appendices, bibliography, table of contents and any other preliminary matter. Candidates for the MLitt are registered in the first instance for the Certificate of Postgraduate Study in Legal Studies which provides training in legal research and must attend, during term-time only, the weekly classes provided by the Faculty's Research Training and Development Programme that offer instruction on research techniques and advice on matters such as getting work published and obtaining academic jobs.

Legal Studies - PGDip - Closed

The Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Studies may be awarded by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Law to a candidate who, after one year of independent research in Cambridge on an approved topic within the field of law, submits for examination a thesis not exceeding 30,000 words inclusive of footnotes but exclusive of appendices and bibliography.

Students are assigned a supervisor by the Faculty's Degree Committee. There is no coursework or formal teaching although students are encouraged to attend the weekly classes provided by the Faculty's Research Training and Development Programme. The course can also be taken on a part-time basis over two years.

Masters + PhD structure

Our PhD programme at Cambridge Judge Business School, starts with one of our 9-month research masters degrees, followed by a PhD degree of 3-4 years.  

From the start of your masters degree, you’ll join one of 8 PhD pathways. Each leads you to specialise in a particular discipline of Management Studies.

Explore our pathways

Hello, I’m Professor Jennifer Howard-Grenville, and I’m the [former] director of our PhD programme here at Cambridge Judge Business School. I’m glad you’re exploring the possibility of a PhD. And we’d like to tell you a little bit about how our programme works. The goal of the PhD is to train students who are aiming to become research oriented faculty members at one of the world’s leading business schools. We also aim to help you develop your own independent research and contribute to lively academic debates in the field of management and business.

Finally, it’s important in our programme that you develop research that has an impact on society through your deep engagement with real world business and organisational problems. It’s really important to know that we operate a little differently from some other programmes, and we do not have direct entry to our PhD programme. This is because the PhD is part of a five-year programme of study, which begins with one of our master’s degrees, either the MPhil or the MRes degree.

On your MPhil or MRes year, you’ll learn essential theories and methods needed to conduct research for PhD. As well, you will have a chance to explore if a PhD in a career as a research academic is the right one for you. When you complete an MPhil or an MRes with us, we also get to know you and you get to know us, meaning that in the first year of your PhD, you hit the ground running conducting research, while you also learn some additional essential methods and research literatures.

We will work closely with you as a PhD student to mentor you and developing your research skills and identity. Our PhD and research master’s students also benefit from the fact that Cambridge Judge Business School is a vibrant place for wider scholarly exchange. In addition to our own leading faculty members who regularly publish with students in top journals in their fields and who hold senior editorial positions with those journals, we also regularly host visitors from around the world who are doing cutting edge research. We hope this helps you consider if you will be a strong fit for our research programmes.

• The 3 MPhil programmes are for students without a prior research masters degree. Which MPhil you take will depend on your research interests and background.
• The Master of Research (MRes) programme is the foundation year of the PhD for students who have a masters degree which provides a strong grounding for research in a subject relevant for management research, and with evidence that they have the calibre and prior training to undertake a research-focused degree.
• Prepares students for a PhD in Management Studies (Finance) or a research career in finance.

Learn more about the MPhil in Finance

MPhil in Innovation, Strategy and Organisation (ISO)

• Prepares students for a PhD in Management Studies.
• Emphasis on qualitative research methodology (involving fieldwork in which the researcher observes and analyses behaviours in organisations).

PhD in Law (Cambridge)

Posted Jan 12, 2022 15:51

I have applied for Ph.D. in Law at Cambridge. Does anyone have an idea when I should expect the result?

Posted Jan 17, 2022 13:20

I applied as well, have an interview today. Previous years received offers in mid- to late-Feb, and rejections came in March.

Posted Jan 17, 2022 13:52

Did you apply for Law or other subject?

Posted Jan 17, 2022 17:57

applied for law.

Posted Jan 17, 2022 18:31

Posted Jan 17, 2022 18:48

Nah, I wouldn't honestly say that - my interview was extremely harsh and the two professors seemed kind of skeptical that it was viable, so I'm a bit unsure what that means for me... If your proposal is clearly original, they might not even bother interviewing you as you'll be a shoo-in? Not sure when we'll know though tbh. Just applied on deadline day though, they don't review in order of who applied when

Posted Jan 17, 2022 18:52

Thank you for sharing your honest views! 

Posted Jan 18, 2022 11:04

Last year I received an offer for the PhD in mid-March, without having been invited for an interview prior or having any indication really. It’s a long process with very little transparency. But it’s no time to despair, we’re really just at the beginning of it. 

Posted Jan 18, 2022 11:10

Posted Jan 19, 2022 17:05

Hey, I've applied to the PhD too. Have not got an interview mail as of yet, and I'm super nervous. I think interview mails go out till mid feb, but with people receiving interview mails already, I do feel quite nervous and anxious! Any updates on how the interviews went, what to expect, what needs to be highlighted, etc? Also, what is the objective criterion for selection? Is it only the proposal + CV?

Posted Jan 19, 2022 17:12

Posted Jan 20, 2022 20:24

They're really just interested in the proposal, it's all just proposal-specific. They weren't really interested in my CV or motivations.

Posted Jan 20, 2022 20:31

Posted Jan 25, 2022 00:58

Had my interview earlier today.  They pitched the easiest underarm throws and I still managed to whiff them. I'm not /too/ worried, since they seemed to like the proposal and I understand it's more a way to ascertain if you'd be a good fit for the department, but it certainly hasn't done me any favours.

My surname begins with M, but I think it's more a question of when the degree committee meets. I know they meet on Wednesdays and only once a month, so either they met last Wednesday or (more likely, to have completed as many interviews as possible before deciding) tomorrow. Maybe we'll get decisions in the next week.

Posted Jan 31, 2022 04:09

Hope I can help with a few clarifiers: 1. Time until invited for an interview is not decided by chronology (e.g., time of submission or surname, etc.). It is usually attributed to the time it might take to find an available supervisor (or even reach them), but those who get interview offers substantially later might be in that position because they didn’t want university funding or were ranked too low for central funding (ref. #2). An interview is not a requirement for admission - especially if the supo/uni already know you. Nevertheless, they seem to require one for the majority of applicants.  2.  Re when interviews are normally called, this tends to be during the first 2-4 weeks of Jan. The only truly important deadline for those hinging on Gates/Cambridge Trust/Research Council funding would be the internal deadline that they set for submission of their internal ranking of the candidates. You either will or won’t be nominated for central funding (it’s unknown how many are usually nominated, but it seems to be less than half of those who get offers). Whether they feel an interview is required or not for their internal ranking, the deadline tends to be early ~ around end-January (I think it is normally the second last week of January, which in this case would be by 21 Jan). If they need an interview and ask for one after this internal funding deadline, this tends to indicate (nothing is ever 100% though) that you have not been nominated for central funding. Still lots of college funding instead though (Caius tends to be the best bet for law PhD funding), and they might not prioritise you before their central nomination deadline if you already have secured some other funding.  TL;DR: If you have an interview after late January, you are likely to be out of the central funding competition already, but approx. half of the funded offers are external or college funds anyway. 3. Interview questions depend completely on the individual supervisor. Some might try to test weaknesses in the proposal or some related knowledge. Others might be more interested in a general chat (they do have to live with meeting you fairly regularly for 3+ years after all). It will usually be about the proposal to address any concerns about it, though. Even profs who have shown considerable scepticism towards a project have ended up ranking candidates highly enough for them to receive funding in the past.  4. Re the question about their selection criteria: at least for their internal ranking, word is that at least at some point they apparently rated you 0-10 in academics, proposal and references each, giving a potential total of 30 points. Who knows what they do now, but a version of it probably remains the criteria now. 5. Hard to say exactly when the first batch of offers are sent, but the first offers tend to come around early-mid February. They’ll have to go through PAO first once approved by the degree committee, which can take a while. The next wait after the formal offer would be for the colleges (takes from a few days to over a month, depending on the college you apply to). Cambridge Trust will send out most of the funding offers relevant to law fairly soon after that (I vaguely remember most Trust offers for law already being settled by March last year). People randomly get Trust offers as late as June/July - usually whenever someone decided to not accept their offer/go to a different uni. You can easily keep track of who receive funding offers from the Trust on the Cambridge Trust webpages, which updates once or twice a week during the funding allocation. College funding is not as transparent.  6. Rejections tend to come a bit later on in the process - normally after the first (the one most likely to get their first choice college offer and funding) and second batch of offers are sent out. Expect them around March, but some that are on the borderline might be hanging in there for longer. There are occasionally some very late offers way after that, which usually indicate that the applicant  got waitlisted (unlike Oxford, Cambridge’s waitlist is not as transparent). Waitlisting is more or less guaranteed to not be a funded offer, unless you can grab something from college or externally.

Cambridge-UCL Competition Law and Policy Hub launched

25 March 2024

UCL and the University of Cambridge have recently launched the Cambridge-UCL Competition Law and Policy Hub, a collaborative effort between UCL's Centre for Law, Economics and Society and the University of Cambridge's Centre for European Legal Studies.

Directed by Professors Ioannis Lianos (UCL) and Okeoghene Odudu (University of Cambridge), the initiative aims to foster research and discussion among academics and PhD students in the fields of competition law, economics, and broader regulatory policies.

The hub is managed Professor Odudu, Folakunmi Pinheiro, Luz Daniel at the University of Cambridge, and Professor Lianos and Todd Davies at UCL. The aim of the Hub is to enhance the research exchanges between academics and PhD students in the areas of competition law and economics and more broadly regulatory policy. It provides a forum for the presentation of groundbreaking research in these areas and of interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and reflections on topics of common interests.

The Hub's inaugural session, orchestrated by Professor Odudu, Pinheiro, and Daniel, convened at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, on February 23 2024, drawing over 15 scholars from both universities to explore future collaborative opportunities. A follow-up meeting, open to participants from UCL, Cambridge, and other institutions, is scheduled for June 2024 at the UCL Faculty of Laws, promising further engagement and scholarly exchange.

UNM School of Law 3L students pave the way for graduate scholarships while serving on the Graduate and Professional Student Association

March 27, 2024

Three class of 2024 School of Law students play a significant role in the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) at UNM. Justin Lauriano serves as GPSA President, Paul Havern serves as GPSA Chief of Staff, and Aaron Sharratt serves as GPSA Grants Director. Established in 1969, the GPSA is the student government for graduate and professional students at UNM. The GPSA seeks to identify, promote, and support the interests and concerns that are important to the welfare and academic development of graduate and professional students at UNM. The GPSA promotes the rights, interests, and profespausional development of graduate and professional students within the university community through advocacy, education, and financial support.

Lauriano, Havern, and Sharratt share their experiences serving on the association. Lauriano explained he ran to advocate for graduate students across UNM. “GPSA is one of three entities allowed to lobby the state legislature on behalf of UNM. This year, I led my administration to lobby for the Graduate Scholarship Act, Senate Bill 233. This bill would create a scholarship fund comparable to the Opportunity Scholarship Act which is limited to undergraduate students. Overall, being GPSA President has been a unique and fulfilling experience. I have gained valuable knowledge about the political process and the lawmaking and lobbying process. I have also gained valuable mentorship from President Stokes, Brian S. Colon, and Provost Holloway.”

Havern shared that one of his proudest moments with GPSA was working to pass the Graduate Scholarship Act, Senate Bill 233. “We worked with Senator Pope in redrafting his Graduate Scholarship Act. The bill aimed at creating a law similar to the undergraduate Opportunity Scholarship Act. In other words, New Mexico residents would receive free graduate tuition. Unfortunately, the bill was ruled “not germaine” but the experience of redrafting the bill with the Senator, the Governor’s office, and a bill drafter was particularly memorable. We were able to draft a copy that everyone was happy with but unfortunately, a 30 day session is just too short. I have great optimism for the bill in the next session. As a result of this experience, I was able to see how a bill is made, and I was introduced to many UNM SoL graduates in the process!”

Sharratt spoke on the ways their leadership brought additional funding to students. “I became interested in working with GPSA to make others aware of the graduate student support offered and to continue improving the grants program to best serve all graduate students. Getting to hear about the incredible need and the tremendous ways in which graduate students are using these funds has been so motivating and inspirational. I am incredibly proud that we were able to advocate for and see significant changes to the Grants Code section of the GPSA Bylaws this year that will benefit graduate students to an even greater degree in the coming years. The new changes increase the number of awards and maximum award amount to multiple grant programs while also eliminating some long-standing barriers that prevented many students from being able to access much needed funding. I encourage all law students to familiarize themselves with the resources available through GPSA!”

Programme in European Private Law for Postgraduates visits Cambridge

News articles.

Last week, the Programme in European Private Law for Postgraduates (PEPP) visited the Faculty of Law. Twenty-three PhD students came to Cambridge from our partner universities in Genoa, Hamburg, Katowice, Leuven, Maribor, Münster, Valencia and Zagreb to discuss their research, attend lectures and seminars and engage in a moot court. It was a great pleasure hosting this diverse group of dedicated young scholars.

PEPP is a one-year taught programme, targeted at doctorate students who work in the field of private law in the European context. The aim of PEPP is to allow the participants to experience other legal cultures first-hand, build up a European network of peers and to enhance the quality of the academic work of each participant.

Professor Mark Elliott, Chair of the Faculty of Law, said: "The Faculty is delighted to be part of the PEPP network allowing our PhD students in private law to research and establish working relationships on a European level. I am very grateful to the many colleagues who have contributed lectures, seminars and planning to make the week at Cambridge a great success."

For further information please see the PEPP website or contact the Cambridge organiser, Professor Felix Steffek ( [email protected] ).
