The PhD in Law, Commerce and Technology programme at YPHSL is the first of its kind in Asia-Pacific and among a handful of interdisciplinary doctoral programmes offered by law schools around the world. It is built on YPHSL’s research strengths, particularly in the areas of commercial law, and law and technology.
The programme adopts an industry-focus and policy-oriented approach with the purpose of producing cutting-edge research that can help regulators, companies and society as a whole face the challenges of today’s changing world.
The objectives of the programme are:
- To train future thought leaders in academia, judiciary, regulatory agencies and international organisations.
- To prepare students for a career at leading research-oriented institutions.
- To provide students with the training, skills, and methodology needed to conduct industry-relevant and policy-oriented research in law.
