Module aims
The aim of the module is to provide students with a basic understanding of contemporary issues in law. Students will be introduced to a number of contemporary issues through the perspective of different areas of legal study. Students will be able to look into a range of contemporary issues that require the application of legal rules and structures to develop their awareness of the implications and limitations of different areas of law in regard to specific issues.

Basic guidelines: Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Thus, the universal obligation to adhere to these rights arguably binds the government to be proactive in its action or inaction toward fostering human dignity. To this end, is a state obligated to protect this category of rights?
Assessment criteria: Students are expected to demonstrate the ability to offer a thoughtful critical evaluation of the topic and present a substantiated and well-reasoned line of argument towards a clear conclusion.
It is important that the presentation is well-organised and well presented. Students must be able to demonstrate a considerable research effort in effectively using sources that go significantly beyond the suggested reading for the module.
Please note that diagrams, quotes, appendices, and tables do not constitute part of the word allocation.
Learning and Teaching Strategies: Our philosophy of learning and teaching, our understanding of teaching for Foundation years and CCCU policies and strategies have all influenced our specific approach to learning and teaching for the Foundation year.
Our teaching methods have been developed with explicit attention to debates pertaining to student learning styles. As such, our teaching methods provide a framework via which students develop the capacity to manage their own learning and evolve, over the course of their studies, into independent learners, acquiring the knowledge, understanding and skills that are essential to learning in Higher Education and to lifelong learning, post-graduation. Lectures, tutorials, and student-centred learning exercises will be employed. Practical sessions will support the learning of abstract concepts. Workshops and demonstrations will be organised in different topics to help the students master the necessary skills to develop their knowledge in these areas.
Wherever possible, reference will be made to additional material and academic journals in the relevant field of Law.
The VLE will be used to augment face to face teaching and learning with additional opportunities for learning and access to resources.
There will be an introduction to the use of the library and a supportive tutorial framework to give individual support where required.
