Teaching
Teaching and learning
First-year law students receive approximately 12 hours of contact time per week. For each module there is usually a two-hour lecture supplemented by a one-hour weekly or fortnightly small group tutorial.
For every hour spent in class, you’ll complete a further two to three hours of independent study. This time is spent reading, preparing for formal study sessions, working on projects and revising for exams.
Assessment
The English and European Law LLB is assessed through examinations, coursework, oral presentations and mid-term essays. In your third year spent at a European university, assessment will focus on written assignments and examinations.
In the final year of all our law programmes, students have the option to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic in place of a taught module.

The School of Law offers excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including:
the Law Library service, home to state-of-the-art library resources and e-learning facilities

Year 3

You’ll spend your third academic year studying law at a university outside the UK under the Erasmus scheme. You’ll select your host institution midway through your second year. Due to the spirit of Erasmus, your overseas placement should be in a country where you haven’t previously lived.

Queen Mary currently partners with the following universities:

Tuition in English
  • Belgium – Katholieke Universiteit
  • Denmark – University of Copenhagen
  • Greece – Aristotle University Thessaloniki
  • Italy – Bocconi University Milan
  • Italy – Università di Bologna
  • Netherlands – Universiteit Leiden
Tuition in native language
  • France – Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II)*
  • France – Université Panthéon-Sorbonne (Paris I)*
  • Germany – Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
  • Spain – La Universidad Complutense de Madrid

*If you choose to study at Panthéon-Assas or Panthéon-Sorbonne, you’ll need to complete a two-year French language course at Queen Mary.

At Panthéon-Assas, you can choose the regular or intensive programme path. The intensive ‘Licence’ path will give you a French undergraduate law degree, unlike the regular path, and involves more lectures and seminars with less module choice. All students at Panthéon-Assas and Sorbonne - including French native speakers - have to complete a two-year French language course at Queen Mary.

Please note that all modules are subject to change.
