Problem-based learning
A unique feature of our courses is our problem-based learning (PBL) approach via student law firms, where you work in a team to tackle problems in a realistic way.
This is a modern, dynamic learning method that ensures you experience and understand law in its social and theoretical contexts, and helps to develop the skills and techniques you will need to work as a professional.
