Each IS is supervised jointly by staff from Law and Politics. The purpose of the IS is to provide an opportunity to merge academic and 'real world' concerns in a practice related study. Alternatively you might wish to engage in a more philosophical or jurisprudential piece of work. This module also helps build transferable and work-related skills. You will complete a work placement in an area related to your career interests towards the end of the second semester of Year 2.
Feedback indicates that the experience gained can enhance graduate career prospects.
The School has established a number of international exchange partnerships. These provide the opportunity to complete part of your studies at another European university as an alternative to the work placement in the second semester of Year 2. All offer tuition and assessment in English. For students with appropriate linguistic proficiency, it is also possible to arrange a study exchange in most European languages. We also have links with East Tennessee State University in the United States.
