To help you acquire and develop the appropriate skills, concepts and knowledge needed to succeed in the LLM for Law, our course uses a variety of teaching and learning methods.
You will have the chance to participate in formally-timetabled classes with tutors, but a significant amount of personal study will also be needed. This personal study time will include reading, preparing for seminar activities, working on assignments, or revising for exams.
During your studies, your most common forms of learning will include lectures (involving the dissemination of theoretical and empirical information by a lecturer), seminars (grouped activities to discuss further reading, case studies, or problem-solving exercise), workshops, tutorials, and informal group study sessions.
You’ll be assessed through a range of methods. These include essays, reports, presentations, and exams or in-class assessments.
If your first degree is not in law or your first language is not English, we strongly encourage you to take International Business Law as your first option. This module will provide you with an overview/foundation of understanding of the principles of legal systems.
