Higher degrees by research (HDR) are postgraduate courses that comprise at least two-thirds research and lead to the production of a major thesis.

Our HDR students undertake research in a broad range of legal disciplines and are an integral part of our research community.

The Faculty hosts research centres in the areas of human rights law, regulatory studies, non-adversarial justice research, and mental health law. The Faculty's Commercial Law Group focuses on a broad range of commercial research and teaching areas relevant to state, national, and international audiences.
