- Applied most of the changes suggested by HoS Gordon Stewart.
- Considered feedback from Alison and responded/applied as suitable. Answering my questions has helped a lot, so thanks for that.
- In reading feedback, website and handbook I believe that the LLB might require a few diversions from the standard programme page structure:
- Entry into second year: Quite a lot of content on this process, so where we will we locate it?probably locate it on the new faculty/school site and link to it.
- Selection into Honours: Not like any other honours programme, so where will we put it?have written it up differently. SHould be available to you soom.
- Conjoint degree: As the LLB is often studied simultaneously with another degree we will have to cover the conjoint option here. WIll this be a new tab or using customisations of the degree (s) on the requirements tab (where we have space seeing there are no majors)? Not much detail currently providedspare space because this degree doesn't have any majors.
- Added a duration/intensity (that really come in to its own for part-time only qualifications and PG (where there is a specified maximum duration as well as the standard full-time minimum)
- Revised the entry requirements.
- Fine-tuned the first degree requirement.

Thoughts and questions
The LLB probably needs another tab to handle the 'law selection criteria'. Is this an issue?
Listing all the 300-level courses in one requirement (5) clouds the year 3 and year 4 course allocation. Does this matter?
Do we deal with the LLB(Hons) when we are doing UG degrees or leave it until PG programmes (assuming PG gets left until the end of the project)? We are treating other honours degrees (except BE(Hons) as PG and leaving them, but the LLB(Hons) comes instead of finishing the LLB, not after. Discuss with Alison and Gordon?
The 'selection into honours' paragraph might take some careful wording, as entry to this programme reshapes the 3rd and 4th years.
