About the course

It has a practical focus, with employability integrated into the course. Attendance is not required (other than for some assessments). There is a high level of interaction and students receive peer and one-to-one professional tutor review. Students will study the key legal topics and related skills that are critical for the modern law student.

This introductory year focuses on developing the key skills required to study at degree level. You will study six modules and on successful completion progress onto any of our three year degrees. The modules covered will initially enhance your communications skills, digital and information literacy and ability to think critically. You then have the added flexibility of switching your degree programme if another discipline captures your interest, subject to availability and entry requirements. Please note this is not available through our Hong Kong Online Campus.
