A full list of all the subjects available in the degrees is set out in resolution 2 of the faculty resolutions. The normal procedure is for students to select, in accordance with the regulations, the subjects they wish to study in each year of their degree.
The subdean and other officers of the faculty are available to advise students on their choice of subjects at the time of enrolment. This advice, however, will be most helpful if students have already made themselves familiar with all the subjects and considered what their fields of interest are likely to be. Similarly, when reenrolling in later years of the course, students should discuss their choice of subjects with the faculty advisers.
It is the responsibility of students to ascertain from the regulations governing their courses, the subjects (including the number of value units) required for their LLB degrees; the approval of students' enrolments by the faculty does not relieve the students of this responsibility.
LAW1100 (Legal process) quota
There is a restriction on the number of students from other faculties who may enrol in the subject LAW1100 (Legal process). This quota is currently twenty places.
Sequence in law subjects for non-law students
Students who are not enrolled in a law degree course but who obtain a place in LAW1100 (Legal process) may complete, as a non-law student, a minor sequence in subjects from the Faculty of Law, and in addition may complete further specified law subjects to the value of twenty-four credit points at third-year level provided such subjects are credited to and required for the non-law degree. Students interested in this option should consult with the subdean of the Faculty of Law.
