Postgraduate Studies

Dr Sujitha Subramanian - Director of Postgraduate Studies

Welcome to the Aberystwyth Postgraduate School of Law and Criminology website! I hope you will take a few minutes to explore the site.

You can find out about Departmental research interests as well as all you need to know to make an application to study here. Many staff work actively with government agencies, as well as international organisations and NGOs.

The Department also participates actively in international and European academic networks, for purposes of both student mobility and exchanges (for instance through the Socrates programme) and staff and postgraduate research. We offer doctorates, Masters degrees by research and Taught Masters. Since we like to go that bit further, we also offer a very successful and popular Masters by Distance Learning (Environmental Law and Management, Information Technology Law and International Business Law), which attracts students from all corners of the globe.

This programme has now been expanded as we have brought on stream our latest initiative – the Masters by Distance Learning in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.  This programme will enable students to acquire significant expertise in human rights broadly defined, in international and domestic law.  If you are in a career, you can continue working while studying at your own pace; you can study from home or in your office.

For those wishing to become a solicitor, we offer a Legal Practice Course in state of the art dedicated premises.  If you wish to undertake research we offer supervision in all the main areas of law and criminology.  Please check the links for staff members to find out about their expertise and interests.

Aberystwyth is a great place to live and study. Aberystwyth University is, for the second year running, the "Best University in the Country" for student satisfaction according to The Times Good University Guide 2009. I hope you will decide to find out for yourself.
