Level 1 core modules

• Constitutional and Administrative Law

  This module is all about legal power: where it is located in the British constitution and how, and by whom, its use is scrutinised and checked. Constitutional and administrative law is foundational for all law students because it provides a broad framework in which all other areas of substantive law operate. It is an interesting and varied subject area which has undergone significant change in recent decades.

• Contract Law

  This module provides a foundation of the basic principles relating to the formation of contracts. This subject develops the idea of consensus and the rules and principles governing enforceability, performance and discharge of contracts. You are introduced to common law and equitable principles as well as relevant legislation. In addition to studying 'black letter' law you are encouraged to critically assess the law and to evaluate it in its social, political and economic context. The knowledge and understanding gained through the study of this module will enable you to develop specialist knowledge in other areas of such as Employment Law.

• Criminal Law

  This module enables you to acquire knowledge and understanding of the general principles of criminal law, of selected criminal offences against the person and against property and of general and specific defences. The emphasis of the module will be upon the academic aspects of the subject rather than the procedural, although aspects of procedure will be included where particularly important to understanding and evaluating the law as it operates in society.

• Legal Method and Skills

  This module introduces you to fundamental aspects of the English legal system, sources of law, legal personnel, the doctrine of precedent, and principles of statutory interpretation. The key theme running throughout the module is that law is dynamic and changing. The module enables you to develop your basic legal skills, including fact handling, case reading, analysis of statutes, and legal research, together with more transferable skills in oral and written communication and group working. There is particular emphasis upon key aspects of writing skills, including referencing and enabling you to understand and conform to the conventions of good academic practice. All the transferable skills developed are important to enhance employability. The module also requires you to be aware of the importance of these fundamental legal aspects and skills in enabling substantive law to be studied and practised effectively.
