Module outlines
Criminology
This module concentrates on
criminological theory as a discipline
and challenges students to confront the
presuppositions they have about crime
and offenders. The module aims to
develop a criminological imagination that
enables successful students to engage
critically with both their presuppositions
and acquired knowledge and develop
a global perspective. Students will
develop a sense of intellectual integrity
that acknowledges the limits of what we
know and the need for further research.
Dissertation
This module provides an opportunity
to undertake in-depth legal/socio-
legal research for a 10,000-word
dissertation. Students design their
own research question on a topic
contained in the LLB which they
have not previously or concurrently
studied in depth. This module requires
students to take a high degree of
responsibility for the learning process.
Equity and Trusts
Equity and Trusts deals with the rules and
principles governing the creation and
operation of trusts – a particular method
of holding property. The module provides
an appreciation of the controversies and
difficulties that can be encountered in
establishing a valid trust, the role of
trustees and equitable remedies.
EU law
Appealing to students who enjoy public law
or who have an interest in public affairs,
politics, economics or international relations,
this module examines EU institutions and
law-making powers as well as the key
questions of the impact of EU law on
national law and its overall consequences
for business enterprises and individuals.

Entrance requirements
We recognise that
students value choice
in how, when and where
they study.
In order to benefit from face-to-face
interaction with academics and other
students, many students choose to pay
for teaching support at a local
independent institution. So that you can
rely on the standards of the teaching,
support and administration that you will
receive, we have created a network
of institutions that offer study support
to University of London students within
our Institutions Policy Framework. These
institutions are known as Recognised
Teaching Centres.
We cannot advise you on which teaching
centre is best for you; ultimately, you must
choose one that meets your own needs.
