Learning resources

Everything you will need for the course in one location
You find all course resources on the Learning Portal - your course
materials, assessments and your readings platform for each week are all
available on the one online, so there is no need to look elsewhere.

Practical material
All materials, exercises and assessments are written with a practical rather
than purely theoretical focus and are designed to help you build and
improve on your skills in addressing problems in practice – not just to test
your understanding of legal concepts.

Active learning environment
To help ensure your learning is as efficient and engaging as possible, there
are regular opportunities in every subject to participate and engage
in active learning activities: automated online exercises; conference
discussions; and conferences with your lecturer and the other members of
your class.

Support, feedback and guidance from your lecturer
Over the course of the intake, your lecturer, an expert in their field, will
be on hand to help guide you through the material, provide you with
feedback on how you are tracking and support you through the course.

Access to our extensive online library
As a student, you will have access to online resources, including legal
databases, such as LexisNexis, Westlaw and CCH.

Conferences
Your lecturer will hold regular conferences, which you can dial into from
your desk. This offers students a great opportunity to discuss subject
content with your peers and lecturers and to check your understanding of
the course content.

“I would highly recommend The
College of Law masters. Not only is it
very practical, but it’s taught well and
it’s immediately applicable to one’s
day-to-day practice.”
