Law School Module Fair and Selection Process
Posted by The Law School
18 March 2026
It’s Module selection time! We have a range of resources to help you with your decision making.
Co-Director of Undergraduate Study, Dr Matthew Channon, says:
In term 1 of this year, we polled students to understand more about why they choose certain options. Thanks to you, we have been able to consider that feedback as part of our new module validation process, and I hope you will agree that we have several interesting new modules which will open your eyes to different ways of studying law and different aspects of the legal profession.
On ELE Student Gateway you will find videos from the module convenors explaining more about the course content and what you can expect. You will also see when some of the convenors are planning to host Module drop-in sessions in the week commencing Monday 23 March.
On this Padlet, you can look at the Module FAQs and add your own question.
The Law office has also provided its guidance to students :
- Undergraduate students are required to take 120 credits at each stage of their study. For Stage 3 of the LLB programme there are no compulsory modules and therefore students can choose which modules they wish to study.
- You may choose to take up to 30 credits of Stage 2 (Level 5) modules in Stage 3. These can be Law Stage 2 optional modules or Stage 2 modules outside of Law. You must not select modules you have already studied.
- You may choose to take up to 30 credits from outside your programme at either Level 5 or Level 6.
- You must study 90 credits from any subject at Level 6 (Stage 3) to be eligible for an LLB award.
- You must take 60 credits per term. Please ensure you select an even number of credits across Terms 1 and 2, to create a balanced workload. Modules which run across Term 1 and Term 2 will be counted as 15 credits in each term.
- Applications to study LAW3167 Access to Justice are to be made outside the Online Module Selection process. Please complete this form by 17:00 Friday 27th March if you would like to be allocated a space on LAW3167 Access to Justice. Please note spaces are limited and you are not guaranteed a space.
- When you are ready to make your selection, you can do so via your Student Records System (SRS).
- For module information such as the course content and the assessment format, please refer to the module descriptors.
You will receive confirmation of your module allocation in the first week of July. You will have further opportunities to request a change to your optional modules, but to avoid future disappointment please do take your time to carefully consider the module information prior to selection to ensure you make the right choices.
Should you have any further questions please contact the Law Office by email.
