Introduction to the LLM/First-Year PhD Programme

The LLM/First-Year PhD Programme aims to provide LLM and doctoral researchers with opportunities for intensive engagement with permanent and visiting faculty, in order to assist in the iterative development of their research design and enhance scholarly literacy.

Programme Structure

At the opening of the academic year, there are two days of intensive orientation, including an introduction to faculty and basic issues such as the researcher-supervisor relationship.

Key Programme Events

• In December, every LLM/First-year researcher will participate in a workshop with faculty and fellows to discuss the researcher's Research Question.
• In February, all researchers will present their February papers at the Peer Feedback Workshop, and will give and receive peer feedback on their papers.
