The course is taught using problem-based learning methods where students work in small student law firms. The first year covers the foundations through Foundations in Law 1, Legal Concepts, and Legal and Professional Skills. The second year builds competence via modules such as Foundations in Law 4, Advanced Legal Skills, and Foundations in Law 5, alongside optional studies in areas like Family Law and Healthcare Law. The final year involves compulsory case study modules including Corporate Commercial Case Study and Criminal Law, Criminal Process and Children Case Study.
