Summary

The Postgraduate Diploma in International Law is a one-year full-time (or two-year part-time) research course and is awarded on the basis of a thesis not exceeding 30,000 words, inclusive of footnotes but exclusive of appendices and bibliography. Students are assigned a supervisor by the Faculty's Degree Committee. The main aims of the course are:

to give students with relevant experience at first-degree or master's level the opportunity to carry out focused research on an approved research topic in the field of international law under close supervision; to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests; and to enable students to engage in work which is innovative and at the leading edge of legal scholarship.

A thesis submitted for the Diploma in International Law must afford evidence of serious study and the ability to discuss a difficult problem critically.

An applicant interested in writing a thesis in any other area of law should apply for the Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Studies.
