Programs and teaching

The School of Law offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in law, including the LLB and Juris Doctor programs.

Our teaching approach

Our law program integrates a strong focus on technology and practical application, equipping students for diverse law-related careers. We employ a student-centred, research-informed approach, including leading theories and authentic industry experiences. By combining online and face-to-face learning, we offer a dynamic educational experience that utilises innovative teaching practices and interactive technologies.

Our curriculum includes case-based learning that encompasses critical discussions through classroom work, seminars, and online forums, enriched by industry-engaged experiential opportunities. Simulations such as brief writing, mooting, and negotiation are integral to developing essential skills alongside legal knowledge. Under the guidance of legal professionals, students refine their expertise in critical practice areas through various practical exercises.

Regular guest speakers from the legal field enhance the learning experience by sharing industry insights and challenging students with real-world legal questions. This comprehensive approach ensures our graduates are well-prepared for the evolving demands of the legal profession.
