Explore our Law (4 Years) degree at Warwick

Course overview
Our Law degrees enable you to develop an in-depth understanding of the technical and doctrinal aspects of the law, and a critical awareness of the role law can play in contemporary society.
Warwick Law School is renowned for its high-quality research and draws on this expertise in its teaching and in the range of modules we offer students. The Law School emphasises a contextual approach to, and international and comparative perspectives on, the study of law.
On our 4-year programme, you are able to study an even wider range of options during your extra year, to build a specialised portfolio of expertise or just explore other areas of law, which you would not have been able to fit within the 3-year LLB degree.
As well as studying legal judgements, statutes and treaties, you will gain valuable insights into the impact of economic, cultural and political change on law, and consider how law affects life beyond the courtroom and the lawyer's office.
Study abroad
All students can apply for an intercalated year abroad at one of our partner universities.
The Study Abroad Team offers support for these activities, and the Department's dedicated Study Abroad Co-ordinator can provide more specific information and assistance.
Core modules
Core modules in your first year will provide you with a thorough grounding in core legal skills. You will also take core modules in your second and final years alongside optional modules tailored to your academic interests.
Modules are taught as half modules (one term) or full modules (two terms).
You can also take modules from other departments to reinforce your interdisciplinary skills. In your third or final year, you will undertake a 6,000 or 12,000 word dissertation or supervised project, in place of a half or full module.
Year One
Criminal Law
You will develop an understanding of the general principles of criminal law and its operation within society, coupled with an awareness of the social and political forces that influence the scope of the law and its enforcement. You will encounter basic concepts of the structure of English Criminal Law, and some knowledge of procedures, theories, and scholarly debates, so as to understand and discuss legal arguments and policy. You will also gain insights as to the historical, political and social context of criminal law, so as to engage in reflections about its role in society. In your studies, you will be expected to assess and present arguments for and against in open debate and work collaboratively with your peers on specific tasks.
Read more about the Criminal Law moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2024/25 year of study).
Tort Law
You will examine the law of civil liability for wrongfully inflicted damage or injury: the law of tort. We emphasise the processes and techniques involved in judicial (as opposed to legislative or administrative) law-making; the relevance and responsiveness of doctrines thus developed to society’s actual problems; and the policies and philosophies underlying the rules. As well as acquiring knowledge of the application of these technical areas of law, you will develop skills of legal reasoning and critical judgement, with particular reference to insurance, loss spreading, developing medical knowledge, professional standards and consumer protection. Work is undertaken independently and in debate and collaboration with your peers.

Understanding Law in Context
On this Module you will deepen your knowledge of the institutions of the English Legal System while developing the critical skills vital to succeed in a Warwick Law Degree. The Module explores 'Law in Context' as a concept and approach. You will gain a critical overview of the machinery of justice at the heart of the English legal system, become familiar with fundamental legal techniques and develop an understanding of law and theory. It will incorporate an understanding of English legal method with a focus on developing your skills in reasoning, argumentation and research. All subjects will be taught primarily through participatory and problem-based exercises in workshops and seminars (of approximately 20-25 students) where you will have the opportunity to test and develop the fundamental legal knowledge and core skills necessary throughout your studies.

Law State and the Individual
You will study the sources of law (Acts of Parliament, common law rules, conventions) and foundational concepts (such as the legislative supremacy of Parliament, the rule of law and separation of powers) through the critical reading and understanding of academic material and legal texts. We will consider the role of politics and economics and the institutional and theoretical aspects of the law, alongside the law’s relationship to the state and individuals. You will also become familiar with the purposes, limits and possibilities of legal language and methods. The module consists of a mixture of participatory and problem-based exercises, workshops, and more orthodox lecture and seminar work through which you will develop and test your knowledge and practical legal skills.

Year Two
In your second year you will study the following two half modules and then choose from a range of optional modules:
Contract Law
On this module, you will learn to understand and explain the fundamental principles of contract law, one of the building blocks of the common law and which underlies commercial and consumer law. The module is designed to help you understand the nature of contract law and its key principles, to study selected topics relevant to the lifecycle of a contract (notably formation, performance, and remedies for breach), and to appreciate the wider context of contract law. You will have opportunities to study the relationship between case law and statute and to tackle specific problem-solving tasks, as well as engaging in discussions that will help you develop both your theoretical knowledge, including your understanding of the social context and function of the courts, and key legal and transferable skills.
Read more about the Contract Law moduleLink opens in a new window, including the methods of teaching and assessment (content applies to 2023/24 year of study).
Property Law
On this module, you will focus on the role of law in relation to the ownership, use and development of land. Starting with the basic principles of English land law, you will learn to apply these to hypothetical cases, and analyse, evaluate and critique individual cases and statutory provisions using a series of linked materials on a discrete topic. Working both independently and collaboratively, you will also acquire research skills and be able to speak and write about property law accurately and using appropriate terminology.

If you are thinking of becoming a barrister or seeking qualification as a lawyer in other jurisdictions, which recognise the Warwick law degree, you will be advised to take the Foundations of EU Law module in your second year (subject to Bar Standards Board requirements).
The new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) does not require you to complete a minimum number of core law subjects. You can make your own decisions as to which options to choose to support your professional qualification. We will advise you if there are any modules we think would benefit you in future professional study.
Year Three
In Year Three you will choose from a range of optional modules.
Year Four
You will be required to complete the Supervised Project either as a half or full module. You will also select from the range of optional modules available in the Law School.
Supervised Project
The supervised project allows you to undertake independent study to complete one of a range of outputs, building on skills you will have acquired through your degree. These may include a researched dissertation; reasoned policy briefing; a judgment from a critical perspective (e.g. feminist); or a piece of creative work about the law. The module aims to provide you with a high degree of responsibility for the learning process and will require you to manage your own learning, reflect on it critically, and seek and use constructive feedback. There is no set syllabus given that each project is individual to the student. However, general skills-based workshops will be provided to introduce you to research methods, research ethics, writing skills and project management to enable you to commence independent project work early in the term. Small group supervision meetings will be focused on substantive issues and on improving quality of the work. The length of the Supervised Project is either 6000 words (half module - 15 CATS) or 12,000 words (full module - 30 CATS).
If you are thinking of becoming a barrister or seeking qualification as a lawyer in other jurisdictions, which recognise the Warwick law degree, you will be advised to take the Law of Trusts module in your final year (subject to Bar Standards Board requirements). Otherwise, you may choose from the optional modules available.
The new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) does not require you to complete a minimum number of core law subjects. You can make your own decisions as to which options to choose to support your professional qualification.

As well as essays and exams, we offer a variety of other assessment methods such as group presentations and reflective diaries, with emphasis placed on continuing assessment through class tests, essays and other formative and summative written work. You will also write formative assessments for which you will receive detailed feedback in preparation for your final module assessments (formative assessments do not contribute towards your final mark).
Your second, third and fourth year count 33.3% each towards your final degree mark.
Teaching
Many of our modules are delivered by a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops supported by online materials. The lectures will introduce you to a particular topic and then you will spend time investigating a topic in preparation for seminar discussion or practical exercises.
We employ a range of innovative teaching methods, such as experiential learning, reflective journals and dramatised dissertations. Research training and personal and professional development are embedded throughout your degree.
Our contextual approach to law means that we also provide opportunities to engage in law-related work outside the curriculum. Across your years with us, we will give you all the support and advice needed to help you realise your full potential.
Class sizes
Typically, in lectures, depending on the options chosen, class sizes are between 10-300 students. Core module lectures consist of approximately 300 students. There are approximately 16 students per seminar. Some modules teach through workshops involving 20-30 students.
Typical contact hours
First year modules are taught either by two hours of lectures per week and regular seminars, or by two hours of workshops per week with occasional lectures. These teaching methods offer opportunities for legal problem solving and discussion of ethical or policy issues relating to the law. Staff have regular advice and feedback hours in which you can discuss issues outside of your seminars and workshops.
