Course programme
Core first-year modules are designed to develop fundamental legal skills and to introduce key aspects of the English legal system and important subjects such as Criminal Law. First year core modules may include Introduction to the Law of Property Relations; Criminal Law; The Modern English Legal System; Introduction to Legal Theory; Tort Law; Introduction to Law and Humanities. Second year core modules may include General Principles of Constitutional & Admin Law and Contract Law.
From your second year, alongside core modules in areas including General Principles of Constitutional and Administrative Law, and Contact Law, you can choose optional modules tailored to your academic interests. Options available to current students include: International Criminal Law; Comparative Human Rights; Refugee and Asylum Law; Shakespeare and the Law; and Law, Seas and Eco-Systems.
You can also take modules from other departments to reinforce your interdisciplinary skills. In your final year, you may submit a dissertation in place of a full or half-module. There are no compulsory modules in year three, but if you wish to graduate with a Qualifying Degree you must take Law of Trusts.
For each module you’ll usually have two lectures per week, plus regular seminars which offer opportunities for legal problem solving and discussion of ethical or policy issues relating to the law. Staff also have regular advice and feedback hours in which you can discuss issues outside the seminar setting. We employ a range of innovative teaching methods, such as performance based learning, reflective journals and dramatised dissertations.
Our contextual approach to law means that we ask for consistent work and for your full commitment throughout the course. In return, we will give you all the support and advice needed to help you realise your full potential.
How will I be assessed?We offer a variety of assessment methods, with emphasis placed on continuing assessment through class tests, essays and other formative and summative written work. Depending on module choice, you may be able to weight your degree towards either examinations or essays.
