Lectures - Cover general principles and explain difficult concepts and normally last two hours at Levels 1 and 2, and one hour at Level 3. Handouts giving references, further reading and summaries of points covered, are provided. Some lecturers use innovative IT tools for presentations and lectures in some modules are audio recorded and made available as podcasts. Seminars - Throughout the degree students in this specialist programme attend Arbitration and Commercial LLB seminars/clinics delivered by a combination of law scholars and practitioners. Following an introduction into the major concepts and theoretical principles necessary for an understanding of the field, monthly seminars develop into research clinics. Students get the opportunity to work in small groups on topical and controversial issues. Personal tutor - At all levels students have a tutor who is available to discuss personal and academic problems. Students who go on placement will also be allocated a work placement tutor who will monitor their progress, visit them in their placement and provide further support if they need it. Legal skills - We are one of the few UK law schools with a dedicated skills tutor who runs weekly essay clinics, designed to meet the needs of law students in the areas of essay writing, critical thinking, analysis and examination, presentations and time management. International students can take advantage of free in-sessional English language classes as well.
