Programme structure
The Master of Laws is available in two options:
- 120-point programme by coursework: (Need statement to explain this option, maybe also the sub-options);
- 120-point programme by courseswork and dissertation: Need statement to explain this option) and
- 120-point programme by thesis: (Need statement to explain this option).
Questions
- Should I be describing the programme as having two or three options?
- What is the difference between thesis and dissertation? Are they both research (impacts on the values in 'at-a-glance')?
