The student may tailor the programme to his or her specific professional needs, in terms of the Law modules they select (from among those available in the Masters' programmes offered by the School) at the time at which they are taken.
Students are challenged to think more critically about the social, cultural and political dimensions of the law, as well as the technical aspects of its application. The understanding thereby acquired is relevant to their contribution as citizens in an increasingly wide range of areas, as well as to their chosen careers.
We strive for a learning environment that encourages students to work individually or as part of a team, so they can develop their own and others' leadership, teamwork and communication skills, with a special emphasis on the applicability of these in the practice of law.
To these ends, the programme makes intensive use or teaching, learning and assessment approaches such as small-group teaching, in class presentations (individual and group) and academic writing.
