Course Overview

Students may choose areas of law in which they have a particular interest in addition to the core modules. By the end of the course, it is expected that students will have had the opportunity to develop a broad legal education and a deeper understanding of the changing and dynamic nature of law and how it operates in practice. This course aims to provide students with a sound grasp of the principles of law through the study of subjects such as Law of Contract, Law of Tort, Constitutional Law, European Union Law, Criminal Law, Land Law and Equity and Trusts and Legal Skills. I want to find another Bachelor Course The Law School's primary mission for teaching and learning is for the teaching staff to support and facilitate independent learning by students. This perhaps supports the view that law is learned more than it is taught. The role of the tutor is to assist students to be independent learners and the main way this role may be fulfilled is by the delivery of the lecture/seminar course.
