Assessment

Assessments are spread out throughout the duration of the course, rather than having lots of exams at the end of the year. This means at the end of each semester, you have a revision/consolidation week followed by two weeks for assessment in each module.

Method of assessment

Throughout the course, you are assessed by a variety of different assessment methods to enable you to demonstrate the development of your knowledge and skills throughout the program. The methods of assessment include:

Examinations – two hours, ten multiple-choice questions and a choice of two from six long-form questions.
Coursework – essay, project report or portfolio.
Oral presentation.

The range of assessment methods reflects the practical nature of the program and aligns the assessment with the learning outcomes of the program. A mock assessment is included.

English language requirements

The University is required to see evidence of English language ability before issuing a CAS reference number to students from non-majority English speaking countries.

There are two options that students can satisfy the English Language requirements:

English Language Qualifications

Students who have an academic qualification equivalent to a UK degree which was taught in a ‘majority English speaking’ country do not need to obtain a separate English language qualification. However, in some circumstances, the University of Law may request evidence of your English proficiency either before you start a program or during the program of study.

For details of countries counted as ‘majority English speaking’ by the Home Office, please see below.

Pre-Sessional English Language Programme

We are now offering a seven or twelve-week pre-sessional English course to students who need to improve their English skills in order to meet the IELTS requirements for entry onto our undergraduate LLB courses. To find out more, please see below.

Accepted English language qualifications

If you are from a non-majority English speaking country and do not have an academic qualification equivalent to a UK degree taught in a ‘majority English speaking’ country, you will need to send us:

• a certified copy of an approved English Language Test at (or above) the specific level outlined in the table below, in each of the four components of language learning

Please see the table below for details of the English language qualifications we accept for your chosen course.

Undergraduate Funding Options

There are two main costs you need to consider when applying to study at university; tuition fees and exam costs. We would highly recommend that you explore all your funding options before you start your course to ensure you have the funds to cover these costs.

All the undergraduate courses running during the 2020 academic year, have been designated to receive student support apart from the January start 4.5 year LLB, the Senior Status LLB and the 1 year International Foundation Year courses as these do not meet the undergraduate funding criteria.
