Research Students

Our current research students come from several European countries as well as from Africa, North America and Asia.  In addition to their research our students are strongly encouraged to play a full role in the Law School's research activity through participation and presentation of seminars, publication of their work, as well as representing the Law School in international competitions.  Our students are also actively encouraged to gain practical experience through internships and other practical opportunities.  In recent times two of our students have worked as interns at the War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague while another has spent three months working with human rights NGO in Moscow.

Berkant Akkus

I did my masters at Aberystwyth University and really impressed the quality of supervision and the lecturers’ enthusiasm in their subject, therefore, I decided to continue with my PhD education. Aberystwyth University provides a liberal approach by giving the students the freedom to formulate their own views with a friendly atmosphere and a well-stocked library, so I definitely recommend to prospective students choose Aber as their first choice.

Lois Nash

I started my undergraduate degree here in Aberystwyth in 2015, and I’m now doing a PhD on Killing: A Critical Evaluation of the Law of Murder, Manslaughter an Infanticide. I chose to stay in Aberystwyth because of the excellent quality of the teaching here. I was also fortunate enough to obtain a scholarship from the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol which enables me to produce a piece of work through the medium of Welsh.
