Course planning and subject selection


Subject selection

While precise details regarding the requirements for the faculty's undergraduate degrees are outlined in the regulations, students may find some assistance in the following restatement of these requirements in a less formal manner.
A full list of all the elective 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 associate dean (Student Affairs), manager (Student Administration) 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 re-enrolling 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 points) required for their LLB degree. The approval of students' enrolments by the faculty does not relieve the students of this responsibility.

Duplication of subjects

Students should consult section 22 and resolution 4 of the faculty regulations and resolutions respectively.

Teaching in LLB subjects

Compulsory subjects are taught over a full year or half year, and most elective subjects are taught over a half-year. Whether a subject covers a full year or half-year is indicated in the outline of the particular subject.

Classes

All subjects in the law course usually involve three hours of lectures per week. In addition to lectures, tutorials are provided in some subjects.

Part-time and external studies

Part-time studies

Part-time students are expected to proceed at half the rate of full-time students and to complete their subjects for the degree in the same order as full-time students. The faculty offers some lectures for part-time students after 4 pm.

External studies

There are no arrangements for external studies. All students are expected to participate in the classes in subjects for which they are enrolled.
