The opportunity to study abroad as an exchange student is encouraged. Since its foundation in 1910, the University' s graduates' achievements include a Nobel Prize and a number of Rhodes Scholarships. The School of Law seeks to provide students with a rigorous professional training combined with theoretical understanding and ethical awareness. The School has qualified teaching staff and a specialist law library, with approximately 80,000 volumes. The undergraduate curriculum has recently been reviewed and all subjects are now semester-length.
Students can also enrol in core or elective subjects during an intensive summer program.
This allows students greater flexibility in planning their study programs. Dual degrees are available, where both degrees are completed over a five year period, in areas such as Arts, Commerce, Journalism, Management or Science. Computer laboratories have also been recently established. The Law School has recognised the importance of professional skills training as part of a student's legal training. Students must acquire an understanding of legal terminology and the ability to analyse the facts of a situation, to research the law and to select what is relevant.
