Critical Thinking and Writing in Law (in-sessional)
The Critical Thinking and Writing in Law programme is a specialized series of interactive lectures designed to improve your writing and research in law, while providing a solid foundation for you to prepare for and complete your exams and dissertations with confidence.
The Critical Thinking and Writing in Law programme consists of two distinct programmes, one each term:
- Term one, mainly for those with in-sessional conditions, will introduce students who are new to UK Higher Education to the skills that will be expected of them at LLM level. Legal texts will be analysed from a linguistic perspective and focus will be placed on raising students’ awareness and skill as regards expression, structure, and argumentation in English within their discipline.
- Term two has been designed for those interested in developing or enhancing their performance in exam and dissertation writing. Students will be given the opportunity to learn and practice the skills needed to succeed in examinations, and to work through the process of planning and structuring their dissertations. Students will be introduced to research methodology, and they will be assisted in the process of developing their proposals into well-structured dissertations.
More information can be found on the Queen Mary Language and Learning webpages. Current students will receive detailed information after enrolment.
