Description
This subject is a core element of the JD degree. It provides students in their final year with a capstone supervised research or knowledge transfer experience. It does so through supervised research seminars or structured projects, offered in a small group setting. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with a member of the academic staff in pursuing a particular research or knowledge transfer interest. In each semester, a range of seminars and projects will be offered. Some may have special entry requirements and enrolment limits.
