The profound transformations taking place in contemporary society, particularly the digital and environmental transitions, are broadening the scope of traditional legal research. The PhD programme in Advanced Interdisciplinary Legal Studies builds on these challenges, training young scholars to capitalise fully on a doctoral programme designed to strengthen legal knowledge and skills from an interdisciplinary perspective in terms of both substantive content and teaching methodology and applied research.
