Course programme
The CPE in Law programme seeks to cover the 'compulsory' modules, which constitute a qualifying law degree (and therefore exemption from the Academic Stage of Legal Training) in an accelerated (one year or two year part-time) format. In accordance with The Joint Academic Stage Board regulations, students will be required to undertake eight modules including the seven 'compulsory' modules of the qualifying law degree (see below), and Evidence. Each module will be worth 20 credits and the overall programme will consist of 160 credits taken at level three.
Additionally, students will have to complete a formal induction programme lasting two weeks before the main body of the course begins. This induction programme will involve directed study and a course in English Legal Institutions and Method, and covers essential legal research skills in order to prepare students and furnish them with the basic skills that they will require for the study of law. This full-time programme is intended to run over a single academic year, with 40-50 study hours over 36 weeks, inclusive of a two week period for the formal induction course and a two week examination period at the end of each term.
The CPE/GDL programme consists of both compulsory modules, a typical selection can be found below. Modules can vary from year to year, but these offer a good idea of what we teach.
