Key facts Assessment
Further information
The LLB, Senior Status LLB, English and European Law LLB and the law components within the BA Law and Politics programme are mainly assessed by examination, though some of the option modules have elements of coursework. In the final year of all the law programmes, there is the option to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic in place of a taught module. The politics modules within the BA Law and Politics degree are assessed through a mixture of examinations and coursework.
Bursaries The School of Law offers a number of undergraduate bursaries (scholarships) in recognition of academic potential and excellence. They are usually worth ÂŁ1,000 per year. All new law undergraduates can apply for a bursary when they enrol in September. School of Law bursaries are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and potential contribution to the College. The bursaries may be renewed at the discretion of the Bursaries Committee.
Our teaching First year students studying for an LLB or BA Law and Politics typically have 12 hours of contact time per week. Each module normally has a two-hour lecture supplemented by a one hour weekly or fortnightly tutorial. Students studying on the Senior Status LLB will generally have 15 hours of contact time per week.
Admissions Decisions are based on the UCAS application as a whole. We pay close attention to a candidate's academic profile, the quality of the personal statement and academic reference. We do not normally interview candidates. Queen Mary does not currently require applicants for the undergraduate law courses to sit the National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) test. The academic and other information that applicants provide enables us to make our selection. We regularly review our position on the LNAT, and our admissions policy may change in the future.
Open Days Members of the School of Law staff are present at the Queen Mary, University of London Open Days, which are held in the spring and autumn terms. The School of Law Undergraduate Open Days are by invitation only for applicants holding offers with Queen Mary and are held several times a year.
