PhD in Socio-Legal Research is an interdisciplinary program that integrates law and social science to investigate the relationship between legal systems and society. The degree typically lasts 3 to 5 years and combines training in legal theory, sociology, political science, and research methodology with unique, empirical research. Students look at issues including human rights, legal reforms, access to justice, and the role of law in social development. The curriculum prepares graduates for positions in academia, policy analysis, human rights groups, or legal consulting, where they can help design laws and procedures that address social concerns from a legal perspective.
