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 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 Examinations and coursework (in the form of essay writing and problem questions) and short papers 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. |

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies The focus of teaching and assessment is on facilitating independent study. Groundwork is covered in preliminary reading and small group tutorials, supported by 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), examinations, presentations and short papers. Assessment for modules is more rigorous in terms of quality and rigor than undergraduate assessment |

Learning Outcomes: Transferable SkillsOn 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. 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, facilitate the development of autonomy and personal skills – in addition to how this manifests itself at undergraduate level, graduates 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, Canvas, 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. Verbal communication skills are assessed through the use of student presentations which are a requirement for several modules |

Notes
Students will be notified each academic year of the optional modules being offered in the following academic year. Students are advised that not all optional modules will necessarily be offered in each academic year. Also, the delivery of a module may be subject to a minimum number of enrolments as well as unforeseen circumstances (e.g. illness of a member of staff). The range and content of optional modules will change over time as degree programmes develop and students’ choice of optional modules may also be limited due to timetabling constraints.
