Year 1 introduces fundamental aspects of the English legal system, sources of law, legal personnel, the doctrine of precedent, and principles of statutory interpretation.
You’ll develop legal skills including fact handling, case reading, statutes analysis, and legal research. You’ll also learn about legal power, where it is located in the constitution, and how and whom it is scrutinised and checked by.
We’ll also look at English contract law and the European dimension and, aside from studying 'black letter' law, you’ll critically assess the law in social, political and economic contexts.
Modules are subject to change and availability.
We’ll assess your progress through a variety of methods, including coursework, group assignments, activity-based assignments and exams. You can expect to take part in ongoing problem-solving activities, projects and presentations. You’ll also be able to access support material through our virtual learning environment.
All assignments are designed with your career progression in mind and give you opportunities to develop and improve the transferable skills that employers look for.
