The School of Law provides a supportive and engaged higher degree research culture.  We offer postgraduate research degrees in our areas of research strengths: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Research (MRes). Further information may be found here about higher degree research at Western Sydney and about scholarships.

We welcome inquiries about supervision of higher degree research. If you are interested in applying to join our postgraduate program in the School of Law, please follow these steps:
