Assessment:
Assessment is predominantly by written examination, although some modules are assessed only by coursework, and a few modules are assessed by a mixture of examination and coursework. Where a module lasts for one semester, assessment is undertaken at the end of that semester. Where a module fills two semesters, assessment is at the end of the second semester, although progress is measured throughout the year.
Teaching:
Teaching is primarily by lecture and tutorial class, but some modules are taught by discussion groups and seminars. Students are assigned to a tutorial class for each module studied. The group meets on a fortnightly basis for each module to discuss pre-arranged questions and any other problems with the tutor. Some of the second and final-year undergraduate optional modules are taught by the seminar method. This is a method, midway between the tutorial and the lecture, involving presentations from staff and students which are discussed by the class as a whole.
Careers:
The program equips students with a thorough knowledge of English law and an in-depth understanding of the areas in which they choose to specialize. Upon graduating, students can undertake further legal training to become a solicitor or barrister.
