Law courses (Jurisprudence)
There are two Law courses at Oxford: Course I is a three-year course and Course II is a four-year course which follows the same syllabus. There is also an extra year which students spend abroad at a university within the European Union.
The Oxford Law degrees aim to develop in their students a high level of skill in comprehension, analysis and presentation. Students are expected to read from primary sources (such as cases and statutes). They are to think hard about what they have read, analyze what the law is. Students prepare essays and presentations for discussion in tutorials and classes.
Career
