The awards are available in any area of research within the School:

In addition to pursuing MPhil/PhD study on a full time basis, recipients of the award will be required to undertake up to 80 hours of teaching per year on the School’s taught degree programmes or to provide research-related administrative support to their Research Centre (at the discretion of the Head of School).
Please note: fees will be paid by the School at home/EU level only. International applicants will be required to meet the difference between the international and home/EU fees.
The Southampton Law School is a vibrant, research-led department. In the 2008 RAE we were one of only eleven law schools to have 95 per cent of research output rated at international level and above; we also have consistently enjoyed a high ranking in the annual National Student Survey. We have a growing and active community of postgraduate researchers contributing to the School’s knowledge base.
