LLB Law with German Law

Year 3

Learning outcomes

On completion of the year students should have:
- enhanced their knowledge of German law;
- practiced and developed their linguistic skills in German, including legal German (in oral and aural proficiency, in context-sensitive communication skills, and in written language skills);
- extended their knowledge of German culture and allowed them to place their study of German law within that wider context;
- experienced German culture and German legal culture first hand and gained intercultural competence.

Transferable (key) skills

Students will have had the opportunity to:
- Develop skills of legal analysis, reasoning and writing appropriate within the German legal system;
- Learn to cope with different educational, learning and assessment styles;
- Adapt to a different environment and problem solve as part of that adaptation
- Reflect on cultural difference, and their own positioning with that difference
- Communicate effectively in German, in both formal and informal registers

Assessment

Achievement will be assessed by the host university, using their own assessment strategy. In addition, students will be assessed via a series of submitted reflections, which require them to consider issues of cultural, educational and legal difference.
