## About this course

### Rated 5 Stars: Excellent for Teaching

A total of 18 law modules are studied over the course of three years. These modules include the core law modules needed for Qualifying Law Degree status.

You will undertake six modules, 3 in each semester (two law and one Criminology)

Semester One

Introduction to Law – The ability to appreciate the basis of fundamental legal principles and to understand the United Kingdom legal system, its structure and organisation is generally recognised as one of the prerequisites of the study of law. This module provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to acquire that ability.

Criminal Law – The criminal law is an important area of legal practice, a key means by which the law seeks to protect society from undesirable or harmful behaviours and, equally importantly from the student’s perspective, a useful vehicle for familiarising oneself with legal principles, study techniques and research methods. Virtually every area of law is affected to some extent by the criminal law.

It is essential that students become familiar with the basic principles underlying criminal law and learn to appreciate the relationship between it and the civil law. Criminal law provides the ideal vehicle for students to study both common law and legislation, and to develop their understanding of the relationship between law in Northern Ireland in England Wales.

In examining the principle and substance of criminal law students will also have the opportunity to develop their skills in legal reasoning and analysis.

Semester Two

Public Law – The ability to appreciate the basis of public law, the fundamental legal principles which underpin it, to understand how government operates and how public power is exercised is generally recognised as one of the prerequisites to the study of law. The module provides a basic grounding in core study skills, as applied to the subject of law.

The course helps develop those skills, by providing practical opportunities for students to practice those skills and by introducing students to the concepts of reflective and independent learning.

Law of Tort – The law of tort is concerned with those situations where the conduct of one or more parties threatens harm to the interests of others. It is the purpose of this branch of the law to define the obligations imposed on each member of society and to adjust those losses which must inevitably result from the ever increasing activities of those who live in a common society by providing compensation for the harm suffered by those whose interests have been invaded owing to the conduct of others.

The principles which govern this part of the civil law have been developed over the past 600 years and today account for the majority of civil legal actions, thus forming an important cornerstone of the modern legal system. The relationship which this area of law bears to other areas (such as the law of contract and criminal law) is also vital to an understanding of basic legal principles and procedures.

The professional legal bodies recognize the importance of this subject by requiring law school graduate entrants to have acquired a sound knowledge of the law of tort as part of their degree.

Level Five

Contract Law – The law of contract occupies a central place in any comprehensive study of law. Over time a substantial body of case law and legislation has developed to cover a range of business, commercial and trading transactions. It is necessary to know clearly the elements of contract law in order to understand the difference in relevant cases between proceedings attracting contractual and tortious liability.

As the production, marketing, distribution and consumption processes of goods and services are usually carried out by means of contract, this subject is central to all legal agreements. In addition law graduates will increasingly find themselves involved in the tendering, negotiation and contracting processes which will increase in importance as new markets open up and as Eastern European countries increasingly adopt market economies.

The professional legal bodies recognise the importance of this subject by requiring law school graduate entrants to have acquired a sound knowledge of contract law as part of their under graduate degree.

Introduction to Property Law – Property rights in relation to land are central to the functioning of economic and political systems based on capitalism and free market economy. Consequently, it is important for the law student to understand property rights in land or real estate, their justifications, and the underlying legal principles and framework for their categorisation and regulation in Northern Ireland, and England & Wales.

The profiles of many academic staff can be found on the University’s departmental websites and give a detailed insight into the range of staffing and expertise.  The precise staffing for a course will depend on the department(s) involved and the availability and management of staff.  This is subject to change annually and is confirmed in the timetable issued at the start of the course.

Occasionally, teaching may be supplemented by suitably qualified part-time staff (usually qualified researchers) and specialist guest lecturers. In these cases, all staff are inducted, mostly through our staff development programme ‘First Steps to Teaching’. In some cases, usually for provision in one of our out-centres, Recognised University Teachers are involved, supported by the University in suitable professional development for teaching.
