Year 1 provides you with a firm foundation in key legal areas such as contract, criminal and constitutional law. You’ll also complete our Foundations of Law module, which equips you with the skills to study law at undergraduate level and gives you the chance to practice mooting in Moot Court, the School’s dedicated courtroom.
In the following year you’ll build on your knowledge and skills with an in-depth understanding of European law as well as key facets of English law such as land law and torts. Additional core modules will help you to develop your research skills and understand how new insights into the law are developed, as well as examining the broader relationship between law, the legal system and wider society. Optional modules will allow you to focus on topics that suit your interests and career plans, such as financial services law, employment law and issues related to the victims of crime.
Your final year will give you the chance to apply the research skills you’ve gained in previous years to an independent dissertation on a topic of your choice, which you’ll work on with your supervisor. At the same time you’ll study equity and trusts. A final choice of optional modules will allow you to gain specialist knowledge in areas like war crimes, discrimination law or penology.
