Assessment

• Modules are assessed by a three hour unseen written examination or 4,500 word coursework assignment.
• All assessments are conducted online.

Structure

• This online 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, with live workshops taught by our expert lecturers to encourage conversation and discussion. However, if you're unable to attend then you can catch-up with recorded sessions at a time to suit you.
• Each taught module is divided into a number of Units which are presented using the Prepare, Engage, Consolidate approach.
  • Prepare: this represents all the work the student needs to complete before attending the relevant workshop. Traditional lecture content will be presented in short bite-sized segments of approximately 10 minutes to better engage the modern student. Guided independent research and reading will be expected as part of a student’s preparation.
  • Engage: this represents 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 represents the final part of the Unit and can be used by students to check their understanding of the Unit immediately after their Engage activity or as part of their revision for the module or both.
