Teaching and Assessment
How you'll learn
This course has an innovatively flexible structure, with specific assessments that are conducive to effective learning.
The approach to learning and teaching on the Master of Laws programmes is predominantly learner-centred. Each taught module is divided into a number of units which follow our unique dynamic learning model: Prepare, Engage, Consolidate (PEC).
Prepare: This represents all the work you need to complete before attending the relevant workshop. Traditional lecture content will be presented in short bite-sized segments of approximately ten minutes. Guided independent research and reading will be expected as part of your preparation.
Engage: This is the interactive element of the unit. This could be a face to face
workshop, a synchronous online workshop or an asynchronous online activity.
Consolidate: This is the final part which can be used to check your understanding of the unit immediately after your Engage activity or as part of your revision for the module, or both.
Assessment
Each taught module has its own assessment method. Typically, modules are either assessed by a three-hour unseen written examination or a 4,500-word coursework assignment.
The dissertation module will be assessed by submission of a 15,000-word thesis and provides an opportunity for sustained, in-depth and intensive investigation into, and reflection upon, a specialist area of corporate governance.
Full-time students: Your course will be divided into three semesters over 12 months. In semesters one and two, you’ll study two 30 credit modules (four in total) and in semester three you’ll complete your dissertation.
Part-time students: Your course will be divided into six semesters over 24 months. In semesters one to four, you’ll study one 30 credit module (four in total) and in semesters five and six you’ll complete your dissertation.
You’ll be timetabled for teaching on campus up to two days a week.
