If you are interested in studying a postgraduate research degree in Law at Kent Law School, you are warmly invited to attend our Applicant Day on Friday 16 November.
The event, which runs from 11.45am to 3pm on Kent’s Canterbury campus, offers an opportunity to learn more about both our PhD in Law and our LLM by Research. As well as being an excellent opportunity to chat informally with academics and current research students about your research ideas, you’ll receive information on topics such as: how to write a good proposal; how to find a supervisor; what it’s like to be a research student; and how to apply for scholarships and funding.
We’ll also briefly explain our own admissions system, introduce you to potential Kent Law School supervisors, and offer you a free lunch.
Kent Law School is a dynamic and cosmopolitan centre of world class research. We take a critical and socio-legal approach that views the law within the broader social, political and economic context in which it operates. Research students at Kent benefit from a vibrant and inclusive research culture and study within a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment that includes many opportunities to engage critically with academic research and contemporary issues. Our programmes are open to both law and non-law graduates and attract professionals looking to develop their legal knowledge. Kent Law School is ranked 8th in the UK for Research Intensity in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) and is ranked as a top 20 UK law school in three of the major league tables for Law. It is also listed among the top 100 law schools in the world in the Shanghai Global Rankings by Subject 2018.
