The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Law at the British University in Dubai (BUiD) is a research-focused doctoral programme designed to advance original scholarship and professional innovation in law. Grounded in international best practices, the programme offers a structured yet flexible framework that integrates rigorous research training, methodological development, and sustained academic supervision. Candidates will undertake independent research contributing to theoretical and practical advancements in the field, supported by a progression-based structure leading to the final thesis and viva voce. The programme aims to develop highly qualified researchers, academics, and industry leaders capable of addressing complex challenges and driving strategic transformation in law.
In line with international academic standards, the new structure of the PhD programme is based on the British model, where students are mainly trained in the first year on research skills before they begin work on their thesis from the second year onwards. This model ensures a strong foundation in research methodology, enabling students to undertake impactful doctoral research with confidence and clarity.
Graduates with a PhD in Law are well-positioned for successful careers in various legal fields, including judicial authority, attorneyship, legal consultation, and academia. The demand for experts in business law is robust, as most national and international law entities rely on specialists to handle legal transactions. This degree opens doors to numerous opportunities, ensuring that graduates are highly sought after in the legal profession.
