Study abroad

The School has established student exchange programmes with universities in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain and Turkey. The programme may provide the opportunity to spend part of your second year or all or part of your third year studying at one of these universities.

We have strong links with universities such as:

  • University of Queensland, Australia (Brisbane)
  • Singapore Management University, (Singapore)
  • Sciences Po, France (Paris)
  • Bocconi, Italy (Milan)
  • Koc University, Turkey (Istanbul)

These partnerships and their programmes may be subject to change.

Teaching and assessment

Lectures, seminars and tutorials are the main teaching methods on the LLB course.

  • Alongside your fellow students, you will learn about fundamental rules of law and their application in a variety of contexts in lectures.
  • Seminars will enable you to engage with and discuss assigned materials in a less formal setting.
  • Regular tutorials will allow you to meet with your subject tutor as part of a small group to analyse problem scenarios and to explore in depth a variety of legal issues.
  • All face to face classes will be fortified by materials and learning packages on our virtual learning platform, Moodle

You will also be encouraged to take part in activities such as debating, national and international mooting (a legal debate) and volunteering. Combined with your legal studies these activities help you to develop a broad range of skills and build your self-confidence.

Some modules will also provide you with the opportunity to develop “soft” skills or employability skills – you will have the opportunity to develop your abilities in interviewing, mediation, in house legal practice, client handling, etc.

The University Library is one of the best stocked libraries in the country. Our printed collections consist of around 250,000 books with over 25,000 online journal titles and over 1,600 study places available in our libraries.

The Law School and Law Library shall be co-located in a brand new building at Sebastian Street. The Law Library offers state of the art learning resources, from the UK and worldwide. You can access our online materials and learning resources held by the library either on site or remotely, thus enabling flexible learning.

As a law student, you will be provided with proper training to use our extensive collections at the start of your course.

Extra-curricular activities

At The City Law School we offer a range of opportunities to grow your legal potential outside of the course.

Mooting is a key part of life at The City Law School and we believe it's one of the quickest and most effective ways for you to develop the competencies you need to be a successful lawyer. Mooting helps you to master important legal skills, such as research and analysis, whilst also gaining experience of public speaking and argument.

There are also opportunities to provide legal advice to real clients in a range of areas of law, organised by our popular Pro Bono Unit. We have currently a number of partnership programmes at local, national and international level, including the Schools Consent Project and Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA).

You may be able to volunteer for the Start Ed Commercial Law Clinic - a free walk-in centre offering assistance for small businesses and technology start-ups. Alternatively you could become involved with the School’s Free Representation Unit, which represents clients with no means of funding their own legal representation in tribunals.

We also appreciate the importance of work based learning at the School. We offer you a chance to shadow an employer, on a very short term basis, under our micro-placement scheme. The intention is to help you gain invaluable insights into the world of professional work.

You will be assigned a personal tutor when you start who will guide and advise you as to your career and learning options. Your personal tutor will also be able to assist with any welfare and wellbeing issues you might encounter during your time at Law School.

Assessment methods

Law students are assessed by a variety of methods. Those include written coursework, mooting, portfolios, multiple choice questions tests, oral and written examinations, as well as project work and activities undertaken as part of a team.

Formative assessment and mock examinations and feedback are given throughout the academic year to help you prepare for your assessments.

The School recognises the importance of prompt and helpful feedback to its students. Academic staff highlight the learning outcomes at the start of each module, ensure that core skills are developed and refined as part of the course and provide students with effective feedback on individual and group assignments.
