Educational Aims of the Course
The aim of the LJMU Law programme is to create a positive learning environment which will allow students:
To develop a fundamental understanding of the core subjects of English law in preparation for a career as a legal professional;
To develop their knowledge and understanding of non-professionally exempting subjects which are intellectually and professionally complimentary to their core studies by providing a wide variety of option modules;
To develop the highly transferable intellectual skills of coherent description, synthesis, logical analysis and criticism in relation to legal materials;
To develop an understanding and critical appreciation of the interface between law, politics, social justice, human rights and ethics.
To develop an ability to carry out independently research, analyse and present information on any subject relating to the English legal system without previous study;
To develop as an independent learner;
To develop and enhance their written and oral communication skills;
To prepare for employment through the development of transferable skills such as the ability to solve problems, to work independently and with others, to make independent critical judgements and to come to decisions based upon them;
To develop an awareness of the professional values and ethics associated with law;
To encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement.
