Modules

Year 1 In your first year, you’ll learn about the core theories, principles and processes of the law, introducing you to how it’s studied and practised. You’ll be able to join the Student Law Society and take part in mooting, debating, negotiation and advocacy competitions. We’ve structured the curriculum so that alongside studying the English Legal System, Contract Law, Tort Law, EU Law, Criminal Law and Public Law, you’ll start to develop the critical thinking and self-reflective skills that will equip you for your chosen career. Year 2 In your second year, you’ll focus on real-life scenarios and develop practical skills in areas such as negotiation and advocacy through our very successful Dispute Resolution Skills module, which utilises our mock court room. You’ll also study Property Law and begin to tailor your degree to your specific interests by choosing from a range of modules including, for example, Family Law, Employment Law, Environmental Law, Intellectual Property, Immigration and Asylum Law, Human Rights and Cybercrime. You will also start to think about whether you wish to elect to undertake a traditional academic Dissertation in your Third Year, or engage with our Work-based Learning module, and work in the University’s Law Clinic or gain experience in an external placement one day a week. Optional placement year We pride ourselves in offering an invaluable Work-Based Learning module in your Final Year. In addition to this, you may also choose to take part in an optional placement year.
