| Preparatory Session for Non-Law
Students |
|
For those students
whose entry qualification is not in law, in order to
provide a basis for legal postgraduate study, there
will be a preparatory session offered to them. The session
will cover an introduction and overview of English law
and legal systems, the law of contract and tort. A study
pack will be provided before commencement of the preparatory
session. |
|
| Teaching and Learning |
|
A variety of teaching
approaches will be adopted in this programme. To develop
students' skills and knowledge, the teaching strategies
used will focus on those that emphasize student-centred
learning, where students take responsibility for their
own learning. Teaching methods will include lectures,
seminars and small group tutorials/workshops. Videos,
case studies, role play exercises and workbased projects
may also be used to support learning. In addition, an
assignment clinic session will be offered to students
after the block teaching to help students prepare the
assessed assignment. |
