A unique feature of our courses is our problem-based learning (PBL) approach via student law firms, where you work in a team to tackle problems in a realistic way.
This is a modern, dynamic learning method that ensures you experience and understand law in its social and theoretical contexts, and helps to develop the skills and techniques you will need to work as a professional.
For each case you will identify the legal principles involved in the problem and unravel the legal and contextual issues that lie at the heart of it.
