If you are interested in the PhD in Law, or another postgraduate research course in Law, you will find it helpful to first research the course information which is published in the Course Directory on the University’s central Graduate Admissions website. Once you have checked course requirements, together with course and funding closing dates, you can apply and submit an online application form to our Postgraduate Admissions Office, which co-ordinates postgraduate admissions across the University, through the applicant portal.

PhD applicants are strongly encouraged to nominate a potential supervisor on their application form. When choosing who to nominate as a potential supervisor, it is important that there is some overlap with your own research interests. We recommend reviewing the research interests list provided to identify a potential supervisor whose expertise aligns with your proposed research area.

Prospective applicants are warmly invited to attend the Cambridge Postgraduate Open Day.

The Faculty of Law regrets that it is unable to consider late applications.
