The dissertation involves an original, research-based study of 15,000 words, focusing on one or more course themes. Students select a suitable research strategy from a range of options and their work is supervised by one of the course tutors. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Learning and teaching are more interactive than the traditional lecture format. Guided reading, workshops and student presentation and discussion all feature in the programme. The full-time course involves four hours of teaching time per week.
Teaching takes place on one or two days per week, mostly during the daytime.
Assessment is based on coursework, dissertation and student presentations. Entry Requirements Students admitted to the course will normally have a good first degree in law or another relevant social science subject, although equivalent qualifications or experience will also be considered.
