Course summary

Overview This course has been designed by legal experts to give you a solid grounding in law, whilst enabling you to tailor your learning to an area of law that interests you most with the choice of six specialism pathways. In your first year, you will cover core modules in Constitutional and Administrative law, Contract Law, Criminal Law, and English and European Legal Systems. You will enjoy a range of delivery and assessment styles such as presentations, discursive essays and problem-solving questions to fully prepare you for subsequent years of study and the workplace. The focus on foundational legal knowledge and skills will continue in the second and third year with modules on Land Law, Law of Tort, and Equity and Trusts, also developing your functional awareness through Inter-Professional Legal Skills. After your first year you will also enjoy the opportunity to focus your studies by selecting from a chosen specialism pathway. Law LLB Course Pathways

• Our students can focus their studies by selecting a preferred specialism whilst continuing to develop functional awareness – there is an emphasis on doing rather than simply reading or listening; participation is a central feature.

• Law graduates have gone on to careers in globally-renowned organisations. Roles include paralegal at Pinsent Masons, legal assistant at D Young & Co, solicitor at Bobby Dhanjal Legal Services and many more.

• The DMU Works team will help you gain the skills and qualities that today’s employers are looking for through placement opportunities with local, national and global companies. Students have worked at Disney, Wilkin Chapman LLP Solicitor, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Shoosmiths.

• The block teaching approach widens participation in the context of legal study. A more concentrated weekly schedule allows you to focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once. This means that you will be able to focus closely on each subject and absorb your learning material in more depth, whilst working more closely with your tutors and course mates.

• You will be taught by legal experts who have a wealth of experience. These will include barristers, solicitors, professors and practitioners from the international legal arena.
