Dissertation Under the supervision of a member of the teaching staff of the Department, you may write a dissertation on your chosen area of law instead of taking a taught course.

Equity and the Law of Trusts Equity has created many legal concepts applicable in family and commercial contexts and the trust is the most noted concept.
Trusts exist for many reasons - from joint ownership of the matrimonial home to tax avoidance.
Some trusts, such as family trusts or pension funds, are set up after careful thought but others, such as disaster funds are more spontaneous. The law has to find a framework within which to administer this range of funds. Two separate modules investigate the legal framework within which the European Community operates and key Community policies. The first module examines the various institutions of the Community and seeks to develop skills in locating and using Community legal materials. The second module focuses on the free movement of goods and the single market, the free movement of persons, the regulation of competition between undertakings, and questions of social policy.
