Introduction
MPhil/PhD Law
Goldsmiths Law PhD candidates are given outstanding opportunities to explore modern legal phenomena in their rapidly changing socio-political, cultural, and economic context.
This PhD programme focusses on the opportunities and challenges that emerge from disruptive events (such as the expansive use of new technologies or the rising threat of climate change), new political priorities at domestic and trans-national levels, and shifting global Geo-politics. The programme also emphasises interdisciplinary perspectives.
Our forward-looking, cosmopolitan, and distinctive Law department draws on, and has further strengthened, Goldsmiths’ rich heritage of social awareness and engagement, and its unique ability to foster radical, critical, and creative thinking, facilitated by cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration.
Goldsmiths is known for its academic strengths in the creative arts, humanities, and social sciences; its unique focus on public and community engagement; the outstanding alumni from every generation of students; and its ground-breaking multi-disciplinary research. Our PhD programme follows this tradition.

Curriculum
In addition to pursuing traditional career paths in academia and postdoctoral research, graduates of our PhD programme are also encouraged to consider future career opportunities in the third sector, government organisations, or legal practice. Integration of theory and practice, and the embedding of a wide range of career skills in the PhD programme, will have exposed candidates to such opportunities and allowed them to create connections with relevant legal professionals and networks.
