Teaching and assessment

The University places emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip you for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement. A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support through the personal academic tutoring system enables you to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences that will enable you to flourish and be successful.

Teaching

You are taught through a combination of interactive workshops, lectures, seminars and practical exercises. Interactive workshops take a variety of forms and are intended to enable the application of learning through discussion and small group activities. Seminars enable the discussion and development of understanding of topics covered in lectures, and practical exercises, such as mooting and client interviewing, are focused on developing subject specific skills and applying them in a professional context.

In addition, meetings with personal academic tutors are scheduled on at least 4 occasions in the first year and three occasions in each of the other years of a course.

You have an opportunity to engage fully with the employability programme in the School of Law including volunteering in the School of Law's Legal Advice Centre and to be supported by the School of Law’s Employability Team.

Contact time

In a typical week you will have around 12 contact hours of teaching.

Typically class contact time will be structured around:

One 2 hour lecture
One 1 hour seminar

Independent self-study

In addition to the contact time, you are expected to undertake around 22 hours of personal self-study per week. Typically, this will involve completing online activities, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking research in the library and online, preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for examinations.

Independent learning is supported by a range of excellent learning facilities, including the Hive and library resources, the virtual learning environment, and extensive electronic learning resources.

Teaching staff

You will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on the course. The team includes senior academics and legal practitioners with professional experience.

Teaching is informed by the research and consultancy, and 85% of course lecturers have a higher education teaching qualification or are Fellows of the Higher Education Academy.

Assessment

The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or 'formative' assignments. Each module has one or more formal or 'summative' assessments which are graded and count towards the overall module grade.

Assessment methods include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays and reports, case studies and court reports, interviewing and advising, moots, oral presentations, poster presentations, research projects and work/clinic based assessment.

Feedback

You will receive feedback on practice assessments and on formal assessments undertaken by coursework. Feedback on examination performance is available upon request from the module leader. Feedback is intended to support learning and you are encouraged to discuss it with personal academic tutors and module tutors as appropriate.

We aim to provide you with feedback on formal course work assessments within 20 working days of hand-in.

You will also have the opportunity to speak to lawyers and others involved in institutions such as the courts to gain an insight into how they work.

Emily Andrew

Emily Andrew, a Law student whose dreams of becoming a barrister are a step closer after she won a highly coveted legal training place, has graduated.

Emily, who studied Law with Forensic Psychology, is currently studying the Barrister Training Course (BTC) and Master of Laws at BPP University Law School, in Birmingham. Following that, she commences pupillage (the paid training period required to fully qualify as a barrister) with the Crown Prosecution Service in September 2023. “To gain pupillage before commencing the BTC, when it has only a 7 per cent success rate for BTC graduates per year, is one of my proudest achievements, and something I would not have been capable of achieving without the unmatched support from the 巨乳无码,” she said.

“The support from Worcester is unmatched,” she said. “From the very beginning of my studies, the staff team were supporting us every step of the way. I never felt like I was bothering anyone with questions or queries. The staff knew the students by name, and this small touch makes the team so much more approachable, and certainly made a massive difference to me. I also found the careers team to be hugely supportive and encouraging."
