Law with Study Abroad in English (4 years)

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.

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.

In your year abroad, you will take an approved group of modules at your chosen university, on which you will be examined locally. You will then return to Warwick to complete your final year, in which you can submit a dissertation in place of a full or half module.

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.

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.
