A variety of teaching methods is employed including lectures and workshops in order to achieve the aim of developing crucial academic and legal skills which form the basis of a successful career in law. The emphasis is upon participation and student-centred learning. Students are required to engage in legal mooting to acquire confidence in presenting the results of legal research in a simulated court room setting. The School of Law has established links with both branches of the profession and provides a programme of talks by visiting specialists, both professional and academic. An active Student Services section provides advice on interviews, letters of application etc. , and we are able to provide assistance in the search for training contracts and pupillage.
All students have close contact with a personal tutor.
Students are also required to study some other area of law of their own choosing and produce a short research exercise in that area. Students must also submit a short research exercise in the area of law which they have chosen. Emphasis is placed on the development of a wide range of relevant skills and assessment techniques vary according to the particular skill to be assessed. Competence must be shown in the English Legal System, mooting and the extended research exercise. Entry Requirements See Standard Entry Requirements .
