Thank you! It was very useful ...but we did have one last question.. why have they changed it? (the course i mean?)

Land law is seen as being a harder module, while tort is seen as being easier, and is a subject that shares many similarities with contract. It makes sense to jiggle things about so as to teach tort in the first year with contract, and land in the second year with trusts. Moreover, all the Law Society exempting modules will have been taught be the end of the second year, therefore making exchange programmes with foreign unis in the third year more feasable. Seems like a good idea to me.

I've always imagined Tort being harder than Land/Property - mainly because I find Contract not too difficult.

King's seems to be unique in that you don't have to do all the qualifying modules by the end of the second year. Although saying that, if you want to go abroad, you do.

You'd think top firms/chambers would prefer you did the qualifying modules in your second or third year, because then if you come out with a 2:1 they know you performed well in these modules, whereas if you do them in first year you can perform dismally in them, and still come out with a good degree.
