Project

This is your opportunity to put all your learning into practice by writing a dissertation on a legal topic of your choice that you agree with your tutor.  It will allow you to demonstrate your research, analysis and communication skills as well as developing your organisational skills and ability to work independently.  You’ll initiate and follow an in-depth academic inquiry, without a structured programme. 

What does the module cover?

Learn how to prepare a research proposal for acceptance by your tutor, undertake the necessary research, and present the research for assessment.  However, you will have regular contact with a personal tutor with expertise in your subject area.
