Higher degrees by research (HDR) are postgraduate courses that comprise at least two-thirds research and lead to the production of a major thesis. For further information please visit our higher degrees by research home.

Our HDR students undertake research in a broad range of legal disciplines and are an integral part of our research community.

The Faculty hosts research centres in the areas of human rights law, regulatory studies, non-adversarial justice research, and mental health law. The Faculty recently established a Commercial Law Group that concentrates upon a broad range of commercial research and teaching areas of relevance to state, national, and international audiences. For further information please visit our Faculty research centres page.

Faculty research centres act as a focus for research in a particular area.

Each year Faculty researchers produce a wide range of publications and are engaged in a variety of research projects supported by international and national funding schemes, government agencies, and private industry. For a list of the publications and currently funded research projects visit our academic staff research page.
