There are only two optional papers in Year 3!!!
There is no denying Oxford University Law department has the best optional paper choices here in the UK but they don't study 14 papers like Cambridge University Law department?!
However, if they studied:
Year 1: Roman Law, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law and Tort Law
Year 2: Administrative Law, Contract Law, Land Law, Trusts and European Union.
Year 3: I would choose 5 optional papers
Option 1: Taxation Law
Option 2: Employment Law
Option 3: Family Law
Option 4: Company Law
Option 5: Human Rights Law
They already study 4 papers in Year 1, but do the exams early, and they do not count for the degree?!
Furthermore, they already do 5 papers in Year 2. So, they don't have to make any major changes; only minor changes are required.
With yearly exams, there would be no more Final Honour School extreme pressure and examining in just a matter of days between exams. Also, it would finally deter those applicants who want to have an 'easier' time at Oxford with no formal exams until the end of Year 3. Perhaps a decline in applicants would occur but ultimately, it would be better for the students to study a wider range of optional papers. 🙂
Perhaps my report will bring 'change' to Law at Oxford University!!! 😀 lol
