Getting in
As the university states it
MPhil/PhD Law Normally students will have a good undergraduate Honours degree (UK Upper Second Class Honours or equivalent) and a Masters degree with a dissertation component. If you are seeking funding through one of the Research Councils (UK/EU students only), you will need to hold a minimum Upper Second Class Honours degree, although often these awards are won by those with First Class Honours due to high levels of competition. As part of your application you will need to be able to prove that you have the research skills, vision and motivation to make your research project a success.
