Assessment
Modules are examined by a combination of continuous
assessment and formal examination.
Languages and study abroad
First and second-year students have the option to study French,
German, Spanish, Russian or Polish. Students who have the
prerequisite language proficiency will have the opportunity to
study abroad in their third year as part of the Erasmus exchange
programme. This will mean spending all or part of the Junior
Sophister (third) year abroad at a university in Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy, Russia or Spain. Law and Business students
also have the opportunity of applying to take part in English-
speaking international exchange programmes in Europe, North
America, Australia and Singapore.
Career opportunities
The programme will provide students with strong management
skills and an in-depth specialisation in law. Graduates will be well
prepared for demanding and rewarding careers in both the legal
and business professions, particularly in areas where the two
disciplines coincide. We expect graduates to accept positions
in law, business, taxation, finance and accounting, general
management, employment relations and the civil service. In
particular, students will have the option of studying all the law
subjects required for a qualifying law degree, which will enable
them to apply for entrance to the professional legal institutions
to qualify as barristers and solicitors. The post-degree training
for barristers and solicitors varies from time to time, and current
details can be found on the following websites:
(barristers) and
(solicitors).
