Assessment method

In both subjects, teaching and learning is mostly by means of lectures, seminars, coursework/essay, oral presentations and guided independent study. Assessment of knowledge and understanding is typically by formal examinations, coursework, examined essays, and oral presentations. The programmes are informed by national standards of legal education, and good practice across the legal higher educational sector. It includes elements of problem-based learning and encourages students to develop their own independent learning skills and reflective learning practice.

All modules in the first two years of the degree are compulsory, designed to give students the legal background they need to fulfil the criteria for professional accreditation, as well as the language skills necessary to acquire a good degree of fluency. In the final year students can select an elective unit in Law.

Overall responsibility for the programme is with the Programme lead for ‘Law with’, but the first point of contact for students is their personal adviser. All students are allocated a personal adviser in the Department of Law and Criminology who meets with them regularly throughout the programme, with set compulsory sessions each term. All students will also have an advertised point of contact in the Department of Languages, Literature and Cultures. The adviser will advise on academic, pastoral and welfare issues. Students meet with their personal advisers at least three times during the year either individually or in groups.
