Visiting Research Affiliates

This programme provides an opportunity for a limited number of PhD students to spend a short period of up to four weeks during the summer months at Oxford University. Research Affiliates will benefit from access to the Oxford University Law Library and its online resources.

During their stay in Oxford, Research Affiliates are expected to continue work on their own research projects. They will undertake to write a short paper on their topic of choice, to be posted on the CCLP website.

This is a non-stipendiary position. Research Affiliates are expected to arrange their own accommodation and to cover their own costs (travel, accommodation, food etc). It is often possible for Research Affiliates to claim part of these costs from their home university.

For applications and further information please contact the CCLP.

Research Students

Degrees range from the Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) to Master research degrees such as the Master of Studies in Legal Research (MSt), the Master of Philosophy in Law (MPhil) and the Master of Letters (MLitt). Information on these degrees is available on the Oxford University web pages.

In addition to the research degrees, graduate students attending the taught competition law course may also engage in a short research project and write a supervised dissertation on competition law. For more information regarding this option please consult the Law Faculty web pages.

The Competition Law Centre serves as a venue for research students to meet and exchange views on their research projects through the Research Students' Discussion Group. Each meeting includes a short presentation on up to two research projects, followed by a group discussion. Meetings take place in Hilary and Trinity Term.
