Modules
Stage 1 - Certificate of Higher Education (Legal Studies)
The purpose of this module is to provide you with a framework of knowledge and skills which you will use in all of the other modules throughout the programme. It is designed (especially in relation to skills) to be introductory, with the expectation that through their use in other modules you will grow in competence and confidence.
Overall, this module aims to give you an excellent grounding to progress to the vocational stage of training (LPC if you wish to become a solicitor or BPTC a barrister).
The module consists of two primary elements:
- Skills introduces you to some of the core pervasive skills necessary to a law student, and in turn to a lawyer.
- English Legal System gives you an understanding of the legal system in England and Wales, including the sources of law, the people and organisations which operate in that system, and its future direction.
As well as following a comprehensive and informative taught programme, you will participate in independent learning exercises. This is to reflect the fact that students acquire practical legal skills most effectively through a "learn by doing" approach.
You will learn about:
- What is needed for a contract to come into existence and be enforced
- The content of contracts, including the relative importance of different types of terms and defence mechanisms built into contracts
-
Vitiating factors which may undermine the validity of contracts

At its most basic, Jurisprudence is the study of what makes a law different from any other type of social rule why it possesses the binding quality it does, what occurs when it is broken, etc. effectively, it is the philosophy behind law. On another level, jurisprudence is concerned with the search for a better legal system. On this module your time will be spent discovering what mistakes the law and lawyers themselves make and trying to identify the universal principles behind these legal rules. In finding these principles, we can then seek to perfect the law itself.
This module is designed to introduce you to some of the key issues in business law.

If you're in employment when you take your law degree, you can use this option to make your studies specifically relevant to your job.
Please note that an Extra Credit Project may be undertaken at any stage of the LLB (Hons) (Business Law), provided that it is pitched at the appropriate level.
Stage 2 - Diploma of Higher Education (Legal Studies)
This module will survey the motivations, foundations, and basic findings of modern Cognitive Psychology, which is one of the major contributing fields to cognitive science. Cognitive Psychology is concerned with the experimental analysis of mental processes and structures. In part, it is an attempt to provide an empirical science to replace "folk psychology" regarding such mental concepts as attention, memory, perception, thought and language. It draws on a variety of ideas from information theory, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, logic, linguistics, and computer science. We will explore some of these roots, but the main body of Cognitive Psychology consists of experimental study of theoretical questions concerning the nature of human cognition.
Many people's first introduction to the legal system is criminal law, whether through reading the true crime stories which frequently dominate the newspaper headlines, or the fictionalised courtroom dramas ever present on our television screens.

- Elements of some of the most prolific offences in our Criminal Justice System e.g. theft

Medical Law represents a fascinating, dynamic and challenging area of law to study. Not only does it require the ability to intertwine several disciplines of law, such as Tort, Human Rights and Criminal Law, but also an appreciation of a number of influential and discrete subject areas outside law, including: Bioethics, Medical Economics and Health Service Policy.
Many of the topics covered, such as: Euthanasia, Abortion, Stem Cell Research, Organ Transplantation or Donation and the Rationing of Medical Treatment are highly controversial, attracting much debate both within the professions and amongst the general public as a whole. Likewise, there is rarely a day in which medico-legal issues do not appear within the media; often in the form of commentaries on bioethical stories. (15 credits)
LLB Child Law introduces students to the key principles which underpin child law and explores their operation in a practical context. Within this module, students have the opportunity to develop a sound knowledge of key areas within the subject, most notably the relationship between children, their families and the state. The aim of the module is to develop your knowledge and understanding of the law alongside the relevant skills to equip them for practice.
This module aims to explore the key principles which govern the law of contract in an explicitly commercial context. As such, the module builds upon the Contract Law module studied at stage one, drilling down in core areas either not discussed at all in the earlier module (e.g. standard form commercial contracts) or merely touched on (e.g. the intricacies of the law of agency).
The module also aims to introduce the ethical areas of debate alongside coverage of black letter law. The aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for commercial legal practice.
Stage 3 - Bachelor of Laws
Many students find Land Law one of the most interesting and helpful modules on the GDL. This is for several reasons. Firstly, whether buying a property, renting or living with parents, it helps to know your legal rights.
Secondly, it is arguably the most lucrative field of practice, particularly given the national obsession with the property market. Finally, study areas such as leases, mortgages and freehold cases involving anything from unscrupulous landlords to family in-fighting undoubtedly give rise to some genuinely interesting cases. Land Law is your chance to find out who really owns what.
In particular, your Land Law studies will take in the following areas:
- Difference between a lease and a licence
- Differences between registered and unregistered land
- Mortgages
- Easements
- Freehold covenants
This module is designed to provide you with an overview of issues influencing the relationship of people and organisations at work. This field of psychological studies examines the frameworks and application of theories in organisations.
Additionally, considering that occupational psychology is a multidisciplinary field, we will also be drawing upon other social sciences including sociology, politics, economics and anthropology to understand the interactions between individuals and organisations.
Furthermore, the relationship between the two will be explored at different levels, individual, group and organisation. This will allow you to use a multilevel perspective when identifying, analysing and critiquing organisational practices. (15 credits)

Any course in Media Law necessarily has to cover the importance of free speech and link this with press or media freedom. Traditionally academic courses in media law often place free speech on a pedestal and teach other legal interests as restrictions upon free speech.
With a view to the practical emphasis of the BPP LLB programme, this course adopts a more balanced approach. It will encourage students to question the importance of free speech when it conflicts with individual rights, and both to consider the problems that arise from a need to balance these interests and to evaluate the appropriateness of the methods by which the law attempts this balance.

The International Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) is the body of rules and regulations governing the behaviour of individuals, states, and non-state entities during periods of intense violence traditionally referred to as War. In the modern world armed conflicts are an unfortunate but frequent occurrence across the globe and range from small-scale domestic incidents to large international altercations.
LOAC is concerned with behaviour during hostilities rather than the legality of entering into such a state of affairs and so focuses upon the conduct of the relevant parties. LOAC has developed over a long period of time but has seen dramatic expansion since the end of World War II, encompassing both state behaviour and legal opinion (customary law) and treaties (conventional law).
This module intends to give students both a basic grounding in the legal framework and concepts of LOAC and a more advanced knowledge of key principles.
Specific subject areas covered include:
- The history and development of LOAC
- Conventional Law from the 19th to 21st Centuries
- The Principle of Distinction between Combatant and Civilian
- Specific Targeting
- Prohibited Weapons
- Enforcement of LOAC Breaches
