Osgoode is one of Canada's oldest and most prestigious law schools with a reputation for academic excellence.

The Research Graduate Program (PhD & LLM) provides research-focused graduate students with an opportunity to be supervised by outstanding professors who are pursuing original research. We have a large and varied Faculty, innovative research centres, a range of available funding, a broad range of graduate courses and Canada's finest research law library.

The Research LLM is a full-time research-intensive degree that requires students to complete either a thesis or major research paper.  The PhD is an advanced degree involving extensive, research-intensive study, suitable for students who aim for an academic position.

In addition to the Research Graduate Program, Osgoode Professional Development offers a different set of full and part-time Professional LLM programs that bridge theory and practice. These are ideal for Canadian or international lawyers and law graduates who want to explore a new area of law or improve professional skills. For further information on these programs, please visit the Osgoode Professional Development site or email admissions-opd@osgoode.yorku.ca.

Note: The Graduate Program in Law at Osgoode Hall Law School of York University accepts a very limited number of international applicants. Please refer to the program website for more details before submitting an application.
