Research Seminars

On Wednesday mornings in term time, from 09.30 to 10.30, a seminar for research students writing MPhil, MLitt or DPhil theses in International Law, is held in the Wharton Room in All Souls College. Each week a researcher makes a brief presentation on the subject of his or her research and the topic is then opened for discussion. This is one of the liveliest and most searching of forum for discussion of international law in the University, and an excellent way of keeping up to date in the subject and of honing analytical skills.

The seminar is run by Professor Vaughan Lowe.
