Students in the BA&LLB programme are able to choose from a wide range of courses: both the required course of study for gaining their LLB, and a large number of literary studies courses in the Faculty of Arts that build their BA.
In addition, courses with the “LALS” or “Law and Literary Studies” subject code are designed specifically for students in the combined programme: these courses bring the worlds of film, art, language, poetry, history and literature together with the study of the law, to create challenging an exciting content that trains students both in sensitive, flexible critical thinking, and in the doctrines and questions of the common law.
Below you will find a selection of featured courses from the current LALS lineup: click on any of these courses for a description of the subject-matter.
