The LLB module structure is centred around the seven core subjects which are Constitutional and Administrative Law, Contract Law, Tort Law, Land Law, Equity & Trusts, European Law and Criminal Law. Coverage of the content of these core legal subjects ensures that students have a sufficiently competent knowledge base of these key areas.

Course Content (Modules) Comprises three stages; four modules in stage 1, five modules in stage 2 and six modules, plus in stage 3, three of which are optional choices:
Stage 1 - Core Modules 1. Legal Foundations
This module provides a foundation knowledge for the study of law. It will give you an understanding of the English Legal System and equip you with the essential methods and skills for studying law at undergraduate level. You will develop key study skills and be encouraged to reflect critically on your own performance and identify the steps needed to improve your learning and performance
2. Contract Law
This module provides a foundation of the basic principles relating to the formation of contracts. The aim of this module is to provide an overview of English contract law and also considers the
European dimension. This subject develops the idea of consensus and the rules and principles governing enforceability, performance and discharge of contracts. Students are introduced to common law and equitable principles as well as relevant legislation. In addition to studying ‘black letter’, law students are encouraged to critically assess the law and to evaluate it in its social, political and economic context.
3. Criminal Law
The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the nature of criminal conduct and the basic elements of a crime. These will be placed in the context of some specific offences, namely, criminal damage, murder and manslaughter. In the latter part of the course, non-fatal offences against the person and dishonesty offences will be examined, and used as vehicles for an introduction to the inchoate offences and the general defences.
4. Constitutional and Administrative Law I
This module aims to introduce students to the structure and functions of the State and the relationship between the State and the individual. The UK constitution is not a single document (as in the US) but is instead the combination of numerous powers and customs based on the traditional role of the Monarch.
Stage 2 - Core Modules
5. Constitutional & Administrative Law II
The module aims to introduce students to the respective roles of State and individual in areas such as police powers and civil liberties such as freedom of assembly and association, and freedom of expression. It creates an opportunity to examine the Human Rights Act 1998 and the growing significance of the European Convention rights for the UK citizen. With issues such as European integration and state security currently in the news this continues to be a crucial area of legal study which prepares students for much of their subsequent studies.
6. Equity and Trusts
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the historical concept of equity, and to illustrate the development of equity through the Court of Chancery. Students will understand the

This subject has changed in the 20th century as the owner-occupier replaces the landlord as the dominant figure and, in the later part of the century, the owner-occupier couple replaces the single, usually male, owner. This module seeks to provide students with a broad introduction to the fundamental principles of land law including the concept of proprietary interests and the concept of competing priorities.
8. Legal Research
This module is intended as preparation for the Comparative Law Research Project and as such will lead students through the process of a research project in law employing a variety of exercises culminating in an individual presentation of a project proposal on an area of comparative law.
9. Tort Law
The law of tort encompasses a range of civil actions and operates as a compensation system. The module will enable you to develop a critical awareness of the issues underpinning the adversarial process and develop the analytical and presentation skills involved in undertaking these cases.
Stage 3 – Core Modules
10. Comparative Law Research Project
The aims of this module are to build on the research skills developed as part of the Legal Research Methods module in undertaking a Comparative Law Project. Working in conjunction with the supervising tutor, the student will identify the precise area to be researched. Building on previous studies of Research Methods, students will develop and apply critical researcher skills, both with regard to methodological justification and subject specific issues.
11. Skills for Employability and the Workplace
