I am not too clear on this. If there are three semesters for the year, how many modules would first years do for each semester. I guess the credit system is different then.

if u learn 4 modules in the first yr then 5 in the 2nd and 3rd for example, u actually learn all 4/5 at the same time throughout the whole year, so if you have 8 lectures per week, 2 will be on each module. u dont leanr 1 each semester whoevers bizare idea that was :rolleyes:

im pretty sure u only need to pass six specific modules to exempt you from certain exams, this should clear it up...

Degree Structure at warwick

The standard format for the 3 year LLB, our largest degree programme, is as follows:

Year 1: 4 compulsory core courses are taken in the first year.

Methods and Functions of Criminal Law

Basic Techniques of the Common Law in Contract and Tort

English Legal Culture and the English Legal System

Introduction to the Law of Property Relations

Year 2: Students take 4 half subjects of which General Principles of Constitutional and Administrative Law and Introduction to Legal Theory are compulsory. Students must also select 3 courses from the list of available options.

Year 3: Students take 4 courses from the list of available options. Most students take Trusts Law to obtain professional law exemptions alongside smaller, optional subjects. These tend to adopt a seminar format and involve weekly group discussions based on a series of articles or book chapters. It is also possible to take an option from another department.

Pre-course reading is depressingly boring and almost put me off law. Reading about the precise structure of the court system in 'Learning the Law' was sooooooo dull. Having said that Denning is a legend and writes in a really clear and very good style. Read his book. Denning=legend
