The rules concerning trade within the Community and with the rest of the world are analysed thus giving insight into the nature and operation of the common market. The status and rights of people within the European Community, including migration policy and human rights, are analysed before attention is turned to selected policies e.g. competition policy and agricultural policy. Students may select one option in the third year and a further two options for the fourth year , one of which may, if the students' work is of sufficiently high standard, be a supervised dissertation in an area of law covered by members of the academic staff. The options listed give a broad indication of the subjects likely to be available if there is sufficient student demand. Administrative Law, Evidence, Commercial Law, European Legal Systems, Criminal Justice, Family Law, Environmental Law, Public International Law, Conflict of Laws, Conveyancing, Succession, Labour Law, Company Law, Revenue Law, Media Law, Roman Law, Intellectual Property, Law and Literature, Legal History, Human Rights, Law and Society, Medical Ethics.
Applications are welcome from graduate students with a first degree in a subject other than law.
The Accelerated LLB course will take the form of a three year part-time degree programme. The dissertation will be on a topic to be agreed by the student and the Department. European Law will replace Jurisprudence as a compulsory element in the third year of the degree. If this is not made clear on the form, it will be assumed that the application is for the 4-year LLB course. Students wishing to apply for both courses may do so.
