BA in Jurisprudence

Are there any universities which offer a BA (Hons) in Jurisprudence besides Oxford?

I wanted to know cos I was wondering if that means everyone with BA (hons) Jurisprudence next to their name is an oxford graduate.

It's just the usual Oxford twattishness.

Three years of solid jurisprudence, now that would be a killer.

Interesting but there is a difference between other undergrad law degrees at Ox, right? I am sure that I have friends amongst the undergrads doing jurisprudence and others doing law.

No.

Perhaps you are thinking of the 4 year BA Jurisprudence with a year in Europe.
It is sometimes referred to as the Law with law studies in Europe.

Ok, thanks. May-be some of them enjoy calling it a degree in 'jurisprudence' whilst others opt for simplicity and call it law. If that is simple when it is really called jurisprudence.

Thanks!! :smile:

Imagine 3 years of studying just Dworkin and the like...I think such a course would have the highest suicide rate in the country. A year of it is enough thank you very much! I think they like to call it Jurisprudence because their students get an MA automatically after 3 years and like to think that their students have added something to the subject. Or they just like to be different...

Only the pompous ones actually go around saying that they study "jurisprudence" when asked :biggrin:

I rather like the idea of a concentration on Jurisprudence... maybe it's just me!

I've heard Ox students say: 'I'm studying jvrisprudentiae!'

There's worse, but that would be a degree in constitutional law, lol... or possibly even some form of advanced tort.

Having a laugh? Constitutional law was pretty crap... the closest I came to constitutional law in my options for next year is a module called Public Procurement, commercially relevant as in tendering for contracts and control of government authorities...should be interesting.

Constitutional and Administrive law are my favourite subjects...I could quite happily study them for 3 years...

Whilst I am starting to gain some rapport with my Tax Yellow Book, a solid degree in it definitely has the potential to be worse than most combinations mentioned.

I think it's just down to a matter of personal choice. I could quite happily study Jurisprudence for 3/4 years - I think it is a fascinating module and after the first week or so loved the module! So many things that I would have liked to have studied in a much greater depth, but couldn't due to the fact that it is only over one semester.

Lol Laura, Tax is one of my options for next year. It's not BCL tax, but still I'll see what you've been moaning about :wink:

I think if I had studied it as an undergrad amongst other undergrads with no experience of it then it would have been quite alright. I was quite academically tired and almost jaded when I started the BCL after some significant health problems whilst aiming for a first last year. I think starting it on a completely fresh note, should be fine Lewis. What I know of you, suggests you'll quite enjoy it and secure a good mark. I've been feeling a lot better lately and tax is not too bad but it is dry and an LLB in Tax would be pushing it even for people who like it, unless you brought in theories of tax may-be. LOL
