This postgraduate is designed as a cutting-edge approach to first-year PhD training in a collaborative framework with four partner universities, Christian-Albrechts Universität in Kiel, Universiteit Tilburg and the University of Glasgow. Researchers from a wide-range of other European partner universities participate as lecturers and external examiners. This programme combines the advantages of close, personalised supervision with those of integration into bigger research units of excellence with an international community of interdisciplinary researchers. The first-year PhD training is a novel approach to PhD supervision: PhD candidates analyse legal problems and academic comment together with their supervisor and have the opportunity to engage renowned experts in the fields of their research. This rigorous training ensures they have the knowledge and tools to complete a PhD research project that is internationally recognised as excellent.
