Requirements for Obtaining the L.L.B.

Courses in the L.L.B. programme shall be classified as follow:

A core course is one which must be registered for and passed by a student in order to obtain a degree. A student must take all core courses prescribed in the first, second and third years of study.

An optional or elective course is one, which may be taken to make up the minimum credit requirements of the degree. Students can take one or two optional courses each semester in the second year and or one in the first semester of the third year, dependent on the availability of such courses. At the end of the programme a student must have passed at least 2 optional/elective courses.

In order to qualify for the award of the L.L.B. degree, the student must obtain an average Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 and complete work amounting to a total of 146 credits or units.

1. A contact hour is equivalent to 1 lecture, tutorial or seminar hour

2. 1 credit = 1 contact hour + 2 hours of self study.

In the third year of study, all students shall write a research paper on an approved topic under supervision which will be marked out of 100%.

Assessment

Each course shall be assessed on the basis of 100% total marks with proportions determined as follows:

Course work: 50%
Written Examination: 50%

Some core subjects will be taught in only one semester. For these subjects, there will be only one assessed assignment. For subjects taught over two semesters, or full courses, two assessed assignments will be set, one in each semester. A student who fails to submit assessed work to the relevant tutor by the deadline will have zero entered against his/her name as a mark for that particular course work, unless the tutor was informed of special circumstances prior to the deadline.
