Year 1 – Required Modules
You are required to take:

You are also required to take the following modules, which are not credit bearing but must be passed in order to progress:

Teaching methods - what to expect
Structure
Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work (both directed and independent study).
It is approximated that, for the portion of the programme delivered by King's, students can expect 12% lectures, 6% seminars and tutorials, and then an overall of 82% self-guided learning.
Teaching
We have a strong tradition of excellence in teaching, with consistently high student satisfaction ratings for Law in the National Student Survey.
Modules are taught through lectures and regular small group teaching. These tutorials or seminars will give you the opportunity to apply the general legal principles you have learnt to specific problems, and allow you to engage with our academics and explore issues further in depth.
Independent study
Guided independent study enables students to deepen their understanding of legal principles, concepts and debates outside scheduled teaching sessions. Through directed reading, research and other learning activities, students develop critical analysis, independent judgement, legal reasoning and effective study skills.
Assessment
- Coursework
- Written examinations
- Essays
- Moots
- Negotiation Exercise
Your performance at King's will be assessed through a combination of coursework and written examinations. Forms of assessment may typically include examinations, essays, moots, or a negotiation exercise. Assessment methods at UPF vary and will be communicated when students commence their studies at UPF.
