LLB Revision Courses

Lectures are delivered on all the compulsory subjects for a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD): Common Law Reasoning and Institutions (ELS), Criminal Law, Public Law, Elements of the Law of Contract, Equity and Trusts, Law of Tort, European Union Law and Land Law. The Laws are grouped together in conjunction with the traditional LLB structure, in the form of two sessions per country, so as to facilitate learning within a time and cost effective framework.

The aCa courses will be hosted by the University of London supporting and recognized institutions in both respective countries – the Centre for Law and Business, Lagos, Nigeria and the Zenith University College, Accra, Ghana.

Lecture

Much of the core materials used in the lecture are provided to the student at the outset to free the lecture from the traditional dictation approach, and serve as a means to support revision.

Complete understanding of the basic syllabus, focus on particularly examinable topics, introduction of new developments, recent and forthcoming legislation, strategies for writing essay questions/answering problem questions, exam technique and skills tuition: Legal Sources and Research, Information Technology, Autonomy of Learning, Team Building Exercises and Oral Communication.

Tutorial

Here the emphasis is on small group work, enabling a student centred approach to learning, with exercises designed to encourage student activity rather than passive listening. There is ample opportunity to ask questions, discuss topics and learn from ones' peers.

(Please note it is possible for students to attend both the Sessions at Lagos and Accra for a more intensive revision experience, please note this will attract a 10% discount on the total fees)

Study Packs

Study packs will be provided to students upon arrival.

Each study pack has been prepared by our tutors who are teachers of the particular subject, and are therefore familiar not only with the syllabus, but also with examinable areas.

These guides are designed to complement the students' study of any particular subject in an active format, by leading them through the syllabus, identifying the more significant areas of law, with advice on answering exam questions be they problem based, or essay questions. The packs also contain methods of self assessment, questions and activities with feedback provided in the form of model answers and examiners guidance. During the tutorial sessions these materials will be explored in depth and students will be guided by their tutors to specific cases and passages to be memorised verbatim, and utilised during exams.

At aCa we encourage the student to read beyond the recommended reading, using further secondary sources such as Journal articles, online databases and research conducted within the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London - such information is included within the study pack.
