Course summary

The Doctor of Law (DLaw) course aims to provide opportunities for professionals in law and related fields to study legal challenges in an academic environment, drawing on theory and practice to develop insight into familiar but critical issues and to generate innovative solutions.

The Doctor of Law (DLaw) is a professional doctorate which provides relevant professionals with the opportunity to take work-based problems, study them from a perspective that blends theoretical insights from academic study with the knowledge, practice, and skills they have acquired in their specialist field. The goal is to generate solution-oriented outcomes which are immediately relevant to their professional communities and work environment.

The DLaw will allow professionals to further enhance their practice-based learning and expertise, while also securing the highest academic qualification - a doctorate.

It will give them a route to career development and advancement through demonstrating higher level research and analytic skills, and the ability to turn that research into something with a practice-based application and benefit to their employer and professional sector.
