PhD Degrees in Law Studies Policy
What are the benefits of studying policy at university?
Policy programs at universities are intended to teach students law concepts and how the law is applied in various forms. A policy degree can be useful for people who want to work in the public sector or pursue a career in politics. Some people may choose to study policy because they are interested in becoming involved in government. Policy courses offer insight into how laws are made, their impact on society, and how they affect individual lives. Many policy degrees may also include courses on how to write policy. These can be useful for people who want to work in government or make laws themselves.
What can I do with a degree in policy?
Policy is often seen as an unusual choice of degree among undergraduates; however, it is growing in popularity. A policy degree may be seen as beneficial to people who are interested in pursuing a career that requires strong critical thinking, creativity, and excellent communication skills. People with policy degrees can expect to have ample opportunities for employment after graduation because they will possess these skills. Policy is an ideal degree choice if someone wants to become involved with politics, law, or the government in the future.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
