The module is designed to underpin the substantive subjects which will be taken at Level 5 and Level 6.

The course is designed with the intention of furnishing each student with knowledge and understanding of the nature and key principles of the Law of Contract in England and Wales and of developing the individual student?s skills in the application of that knowledge. This course aims This module aims to provide an examination of the Law of Contract. It will examine important aspects of the legal relationship between those who sell goods and services and those who buy them. It will introduce the student to the role, nature and functioning of the common law within the legal system as a whole. The pedagogical approach taken on the course will emphasise legal method and will aim to develop the students? ability to analyse factual situations, apply relevant legal principles, and, as a result, enhance their powers of reasoning and encourage coherent presentation of ideas and argument.
One of the key difficulties experienced by students new to the study of law is the application of legal principles to factual scenarios and understanding how to use primary sources. Although these skills are developed to some extent in the Legal Skills course, the only substantive area of law where problem solving is taught in the first semester is contract law. The programme team identified this as an issue at the last Law Review and this new course seeks to address those concerns. The aim of Crime and Problem Solving is specifically to develop problem-solving skills in level 4 students through an area of substantive law which will stimulate student interest ? that of criminal law. It is not intended that students will acquire an in-depth knowledge of criminal law, rather that certain crimes will be selected as a vehicle to develop these key skills in accordance with the QAA benchmarking. Students will work from primary sources only. The other area of difficulty faced by level 4 students is the transition from school to university. Recognising this factor, and in keeping with both the philosophy underlying the Greenwich Graduate Initiative and the University?s new Teaching and Learning Strategy, this course will seek to enable students to start to become autonomous learners by the adoption of problem-based learning. The final aim of the course is to familiarise students with primary source materials and develop their skills in using these.
