LLB (Hons) Law – London Metropolitan University (UK)

Overview

The course, which is delivered by highly qualified academics and practitioners (recruited from the industry and having teaching experience undergraduate level) , has been devised with reference to the Subject Benchmark Statement for Law developed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. The subject specific knowledge and skills, cognitive abilities and non-subject specific skills outlined in the benchmark statement are referenced in the relevant sections of this course document.

The course provides a rigorous programme, including the foundation core modules needed for students who wish to proceed to the professional stage of legal training, and optional modules covering a wide range of legal issues and interests.

The Teaching and Learning strategy of the LLB degree is designed to ensure that the following key outcomes are achieved:

• To comply with – or improve on – the benchmarks set out by the Joint Academic Stage Board of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board, and by the Quality Assurance Agency.
• To encourage the acquisition and understanding of knowledge by students, engendering an enthusiasm for the subject and life-skills learning, including the progression from surface learning to deep learning;
• To facilitate students in developing independent skills and responsibilities for their own learning;
• Incrementally to strengthen the subject specific knowledge and practical legal skills gained by students, to ensure that they are equipped to thrive successfully in the professional workplace.
