LW304-6-__ : Final Year Research Project





Module Description
This module provides an opportunity for a final year student to undertake a substantial piece of legal research on a topic of his or her choice. Students will be working under the supervision of a member of the School of Law staff. The module is assessed on the basis of 3 elements: a written project project, a reflective statement, and an oral presentation.

The aims of the module are:
  • To enable the student to pursue a research project on a legally related topic of interest;
  • To encourage independent research;
  • To encourage students to plan and manage their own projects;
  • To encourage communication of ideas through a medium appropriate to a given project.
