We adopt a wide range of learning and teaching methods, designed to support you to develop as an independent learner. These include interactive online sessions, e-learn activities, workshops, reflective clinical legal education, group work, research exercises, presentations, mooting and debating as well as the more traditional seminars and lectures. You will have more structured class contact in year one of your law programme to support your transition to Higher Education.

The Law degree comprises a wide range of modules which provide you with an understanding of various areas of the law as well as, at the University of Central Lancashire, a clear emphasis on skills which are embedded throughout your three years. This ensures that you obtain key transferable and employability skills which are then consolidated in core and optional modules.

The approach to teaching and learning is 'student-centred': this means responsibility for achieving learning outcomes is placed on student initiative in self-managing your own programme of study.

Staff help by providing appropriate learning materials and support, such as module handbooks, lecture outlines, reading lists and online student support. You will be encouraged to adopt an independent approach to learning through effective use of private study time in researching information and responding to tasks and questions. You will be supported both academically and pastorally through this process by academic staff responsible for the modules studied and also by a year tutor, who is an academic member of staff with special responsibility for looking after you for each year of your degree.

Our lecturers are from both academic and professional backgrounds ensuring our commitment to research informed teaching is maximised. You will be taught by leading academics and by staff who are professionally qualified as solicitors and barristers hence giving you a sound understanding of substantive law and its practical application.

Our Professors usually teach on the course so you will get to hear first-hand about groundbreaking research topics such as war crimes trials, women in prison and criminal law. You will also benefit from the professional experience of staff and from the School’s commitment to research-informed teaching.

The School is at the cutting-edge of research in a number of specialist legal areas, including investigations into crime and criminal justice. Over 50% of our research is classed as internationally significant or world leading. Our externally funded projects have included looking at an Alcohol Policy for Europe, Hate Crime in Europe, and International War Crimes. There are opportunities for students to contribute to research projects through intern schemes.
