Course Modules
In this introductory module, students will begin their exploration of the legal world.
They’ll uncover the core principles of legal systems, examine how laws are structured, and gain an understanding of key legal institutions. Through interactive discussions and practical case studies, students will explore the foundations of justice, ethics, and the role law plays in society. This module builds a solid base in legal thinking and prepares students for more in-depth study of the law.
Module 2 centres on criminal law and the pursuit of justice. Students will explore the fundamental elements of criminal offences, criminal procedures, and the roles of law enforcement and the judiciary. Through case analysis and mock trials, they’ll grapple with the challenges of the criminal justice system. The module also encourages critical thinking about the ethical dimensions of criminal law and examines how concepts of justice continue to evolve in today’s society.
This hands-on module equips students with essential advocacy skills while introducing them to key contemporary legal issues.
Students will learn how to build compelling legal arguments, take part in mock trials, and present cases with confidence and clarity. Alongside developing these practical skills, they’ll investigate urgent legal topics—such as human rights, environmental law, and international law—through the lens of current global challenges. Debates, research projects, and talks from legal professionals will deepen students’ understanding of the fast-moving world of law and advocacy.
