- First and foremost, the reputation and ranking of the university play a significant role. Opting for a well-established institution known for its excellence in legal education can enhance the value and recognition of the Ph.D. degree. Prestigious universities often attract renowned professors, experts, and researchers in the field, providing students with access to a wealth of knowledge and networking opportunities.
- Secondly, the research focus and expertise of the faculty within the law school are essential considerations. Potential candidates should examine the university's faculty profiles, their areas of specialization, and their ongoing research projects. A strong and diverse faculty can offer mentorship, guidance, and collaboration possibilities, which are vital for a successful Ph.D. journey.
- Furthermore, the availability of research resources, such as libraries, databases, and legal archives, can greatly impact the quality and depth of the research conducted during the program. Access to comprehensive resources ensures that students have the necessary tools to explore their research topics thoroughly and contribute meaningfully to the field of law.

Course Curriculum
The PhD programme at Queen Mary University is driven by subject specific research and the QMIPRI is one of the world's biggest IP research institutes. The PhD programme has proven fruitful, yet difficult. It not only improves your research skills, but it also broadens your viewpoint. Starting the PhD in a pandemic was very tough but the cohort and professors have helped a lot. The QMIPRI has organized various research seminars to share our research works, there were number of staff seminars as well as research paper swaps. The doctoral college separately organized various skill development programmes and productive seminars which includes writing retreats, productivity related seminars, mental health related seminars etc.
