• Covered with UG degrees, due to it (possible, depending on how you define it) being a separate UG law qualification.
• Applied most of the changes suggested by HoS Gordon Stewart, although he suggests speaking to Joel Colon-Rios.
• In reading feedback, website and handbook I believe that the LLB(Hons) might require some creative thinking on how we handle the conjoint degree.
• Need to decide if we show an illustration of an LLB(Hons) studied on its own (I am unsure how popular this course of study actually is), and how many other options we illustrate.
• 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.

Duration/intensity

The LLB(Hons) represents Xxxxxx years of full-time study and may also be studied part-time.

Entry requirements

To be accepted into the LLB(Hons) you need to

Thoughts and questions

Is it accurate to describe the selection for receiving an invitation to the Honours programme as an entry requirement (when not called this in the Calendar) or should I relegate it to Supplementary information?

LLB Conjoint programme

Comments

We decided to limit our treatment of conjoint and double degrees to a few words and a link to an existing homesite page.

The suggested exception to this is the LLB/LLB(Hons), so anything we develop for the LLB degree page can probably transfer to here.

Thoughts and questions

Are most LLB(Hons) students also involved in conjoint programmes? I guess so, which means we have the same design challenges for this degree page as for the LLB.
