About this position

This fully funded PhD scholarship is based in Law and Criminology at Swansea University and sits within the ESRC Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences (WGSSS). The opportunity is embedded in a strong interdisciplinary environment spanning the School of Social Sciences and the School of Law, with links to research centres and initiatives across the university.

The project environment is especially suited to students interested in empirical or socio-legal research. Swansea’s criminology and law communities connect with the Centre for Criminal Justice and Criminology (CCJC), the Wales Observatory on Human Rights of Children and Young People, the Centre for Social Change, the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC), the Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (IISTL), the Observatory on Human Rights and Social Justice, and the Centre for Governance and Human Rights. The CCJC’s research spans youth justice policy, drug policy, policing, sports criminology, sex work, crimes of the powerful, the political economy of crime in the Global South, terrorism, and cybercrime.

The School of Law offers a particularly supportive setting for research that connects legal questions with social science methods. It has previously supported studentships across a broad range of legal and socio-legal areas, including public and constitutional law, legal education, human rights, disability law, asylum law, tort law, environmental law, EU law and governance, family law, housing law and policy, and Welsh devolution. Students will be based primarily at Swansea University and will also join WGSSS workshops, residential courses, annual conferences, and wider research events across Wales.

The programme brings students into contact with established researchers through seminars and postgraduate training days, including events organised by the Welsh Centre for Crime and Social Justice Conference at Gregynog, Powys. The overall setting combines subject depth in law and criminology with access to broader interdisciplinary training and research exchange.
