Hi,
I'm planning to do a part-time master's and PhD when I finish my undergrad law degree. However, I want to do it in legal history, so it would have to be a research master's (as most unis don't offer courses in this for taught degrees), and my options for a part-time research master's seem to be limited to Edinburgh's LLM by Research. If I don't get accepted to that, would I be able to apply to PhDs without a Master's? I know some require it, but some just say "normally" or "preferred". Given that legal history is quite niche so it's hard to find a master's in it, might they make an exception? I've seen some LinkedIn accounts where this seems to be the case. My undergrad is at Oxford so we've done some extended essays if that counts for anything. I'm also doing the LLM Legal Practice next year, but that's mainly just SQE prep so I'm also not sure if that would help at all.
Thanks in advance for any help! And if I'm being delusional/uninformed please let me know, I don't know anyone going down this route so I'm just trying to figure it out lol
