Progression policy:
For students who have fails or deferred modules at the end of the academic year:
Students are normally expected to clear all Year 1 modules before being permitted to proceed to Year 2 study. Students with 3 or more outstanding Year 1 MLaw modules must clear these during the next academic year alone and resume Year 2 the following academic year. Students with 1 or 2 outstanding Year 1 MLaw modules are strongly advised to switch to part-time study and to take a total of four MLaw modules, including the outstanding modules. Note: the School will not prohibit a student from registering for the 6 year 2 modules in addition to up to 2 repeated modules but strongly advises against it.
Students should note that entry to the programme is on a full-time basis; Part-time study status is only available to students under the progression policy outlined above.

EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF PROGRAMME

The programme aims to provide a systematic understanding of the fundamental doctrines and principles underpinning the law in Northern Ireland and England and Wales; the interaction between the law in NI and the wider national, European and international contexts; and the social, political and economic contexts within which the legal system operates.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Learning Outcomes: Cognitive Skills

On the completion of this course successful students will be able to:

Deal with complex issues in a systematic way

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Instruction in the use of the university Library and the QUB Online information system are core elements of the induction process. Coursework (in the form of essay writing) comprises a central element of the overall Masters learning and teaching process thus facilitating the development of practical research, presentational and IT skills. Students are encouraged to attend the many staff seminars and guest lectures organised throughout the year which include nationally and internationally renowned speakers. The compulsory Legal Methods and Skills module equips students with an understanding of theories of research and research methodologies. Students are introduced to the wide range of source material on the Internet and are guided in the use of this material to develop skills of critical analysis.

Methods of Assessment

Coursework (in the form of essay writing), short papers, and class presentations will comprise a central element of the overall assessment process. Assessment processes will be aimed at assessing students understanding of key legal concepts, the nature of key interdisciplinary debates, the application of legal concepts to complex and uncertain policy and regulatory scenarios, and their ability to apply key socio-legal research methodologies to the subject matter.

Oral presentation of independent research to both a specialist and non-specialist audience.

Learning Outcomes: Transferable Skills

On the completion of this course successful students will be able to:

An ability to be self-directed and exercise initiative

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Verbal communication skills are developed primarily through small group seminar teaching, in particular by means of student presentations Written communication skills are developed through the programme through essay writing; the compulsory dissertation module provides an opportunity to further develop this skill. Written assessments, as well as testing subject specific skills, also inculcate the ability to think critically and present novel solutions to complex problems. These methods of assessment, which require the development of arguments based on the presentation and/or generation of numerical and statistical information, aid the development of numeracy skills. The process of independent study that underlines the entire programme of study, coupled with guidance and individual feedback on essays and dissertations, facilitate the development of autonomy and personal skills – in addition to how this manifests itself at undergraduate level, postgraduates will also be able to exercise initiative, self-direction and personal responsibility. Problem-solving and teamwork skills are developed principally through specific problem-based seminar exercises and projects that require collaboration amongst groups of students. General time-management and intellectual skills are also developed through the above learning and teaching methods. Use of the internet, QUB Online information system (including information retrieval, email communication and document exchange) and word-processing are fundamental elements of the entire learning and teaching process.

Methods of Assessment

The assessment of the majority of key transferable skills forms an integral part of the overall assessment of the programme; however the approach to assessment varies within modules. Written communication skills, problem-solving and intellectual skills are assessed directly throughout the programme. Autonomy, teamwork and personal skills are generally assessed indirectly through the medium of coursework and compulsory dissertation. Verbal communication skills are assessed through the use of student presentations which are a requirement for several modules.

The independent learning skills required for workplace training or further professional training

Learning Outcomes: Subject Specific

On the completion of this course successful students will be able to:

Critical understanding of current problems in subject area

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

The focus of postgraduate level teaching and assessment is on facilitating independent study. Groundwork is covered in preliminary reading and small group seminars, supported by optional lectures. . Students build on this ground work by using their generic legal research skills to acquire subject specific knowledge through the use of guided reading lists and electronic resources such as Lexis, Westlaw and Queens-Online.

Methods of Assessment

Each module assessment is designed not only to test subject specific skills taught in that module but also to map the entrenchment of generic legal research skills. Assessment methods include long essays (written coursework), presentations, short papers and dissertation. Assessment for postgraduate modules is more rigorous in terms of quality, rigor and length than undergraduate assessment.
