Why study Law at Oxenfurt

The LLB covers the foundations of legal knowledge that the professional bodies in England and Wales expect of a law degree, so it is a good start for anyone who might practise. It is also an education in its own right: a third of our graduates do something other than law, and are glad they studied it.

The Faculty is strong in legal history, using the Academy’s own records in the Treasury, and in privacy and technology law. In the final year you can take Privacy, Surveillance and the Law, taught by Dr Piotr Zawadzki, who led the legal survey in the Bystanders report.

The Chapter Street Law Clinic, run by the Faculty with solicitors who volunteer their time, gives free advice to people in Oxenfurt and Novigrad on housing, employment and benefits. Second- and third-year students take part under supervision.

Teaching and assessment

Expect about 12 hours of timetabled teaching a week in the first year, in lectures and small-group tutorials of six to eight students, and a great deal of reading. The Law Library on Chapter Street is open until midnight in term.

Most modules are assessed by a mixture of examination and coursework. Year 2 counts for 40% of your final classification and year 3 for 60%.

Course changes

We make every effort to run courses as described. Modules, teaching methods and assessment may change between years, and after you have accepted an offer, because of staff changes, student demand or improvements to the course. If we make a significant change after you have accepted an offer, we will tell you, explain your options and, if you wish, help you to transfer to another course or university.
