Additional information

Comments: The programme is designed to stimulate critical and creative thought and to question assumptions about law. To achieve this objective, good students are selected, classes are kept deliberately small, and independent reading and group discussion are strongly emphasised. This allows very close contact with members of the Law School. Personal skills are developed through group project work, presentations, and participation in group discussion.
