Laws Dissertation subject option
[2660200] (amended syllabus)
The Laws Dissertation subject
option is open to students in their final year of study who are
seeking a Qualifying Law Degree (as determined by having already
successfully taken the examination in EU law or being currently
registered for EU law). Research may be on a topic in a previously or
concurrently studied law subject area not otherwise treated in depth in
the normal course of studies.
A Dissertation research proposal must
be submitted online by 15 November of the year of study. Students must
have received an ‘approved’ response from the University as a condition
of the Dissertation being marked.
Assessment: 10,000 word dissertation
submitted to the University in electronic form by 1 May (90%)
and a one hour 40 minutes unseen written examination (10%).
Anti-plagiarism software will be used.
While students are free to undertake
the Laws Dissertation subject option as autonomous
study, students are encouraged to work with supervisors at local
teaching institutions.
