Doctorates Doctor of Laws The degree of Doctor of Laws (LLD) is awarded, on the recommendation of the Sydney Law School, for published work that has been recognised by scholars in the field concerned as a distinguished contribution to knowledge. Persons contemplating the submission of work for the LLD should first consult the Dean of the Law School. Only a mature scholar would be likely to present work meeting this requirement. The degree may also be awarded on an honorary basis in recognition of distinguished achievement.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is awarded by the University on the basis of a thesis, which is regarded by the examiners as a substantially original contribution to the area in which it is written. Candidates are required to submit a thesis of approximately 100,000 words, undertaken by supervision. The following is a summary of the requirements.

There are three main conditions of admission, namely:

· academic qualifications, · research and publication experience, and · suitability of the proposed course of study and research.

An applicant for admission to candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) must submit to the Sydney Law School a proposed program of advanced study and research. The applicant must submit satisfactory evidence of training and ability to pursue the proposed program.

Academic qualifications The normal requirement is that the applicant has completed one of the following degrees:

· Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with First or Second Class Honours; or · Master of Laws (LLM); or · Qualifications which the University©s Committee for Graduate Studies considers equivalent.

Satisfactory evidence of training and ability to pursue the proposed program may be demonstrated by showing the successful completion of a sustained piece of research in an earlier degree program, scholarly publications, or sustained research in a professional capacity. Candidates who are not able to demonstrate sufficient research experience may be admitted first to an LLM by research with a view to upgrading to a PhD if there is satisfactory progress.

Proposed program of study The proposal must be:

· suitable in scope and standard for the PhD, · one that the applicant is competent to undertake, and · one for which supervision and facilities can be properly provided.
