COLOURFUL RESEARCH

Do we trust what we see on the Internet? Associate Professor Sophie Stalla-Bourdillon is part of a major European Union project, which is examining questions of online trust and trustworthiness. She is exploring how the law can contribute to increasing trust among users of the Internet and, generally, what drives this trust.

The three year EU Framework Seven project Operational Trustworthiness Enabling Technologies (OPTET) has partners in France, Germany, Belgium and Greece. It is examining cyber security of critical infrastructure, and issues surrounding an electronic monitoring initiative involving elderly and disabled people in Norway.

CHOOSE SOUTHAMPTON:CHANGE THE WORLDThe Role of Law in Safeguarding Health: National and Global PerspectivesLaw and regulation play crucial roles in safeguarding the health of individuals and populations. Scholars in Southampton Law School work with colleagues across the world, examining law and policy and considering ethical reforms to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy.

Lecturer in Law and Deputy Director of the Centre for Health, Ethics and Law (HEAL), Associate Professor Adrian Viens is currently involved in various policy, training and practice activities with leading health governance bodies. As well as working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Chatham House Working Group on Antibiotic Delinkage, he is helping develop training and education materials at the World Health Organization’s Department of Ethics and Social Determinants.

Professor John Coggon joined HEAL in 2012. He is a world class scholar whose main focus is on public health law, where he explores questions about the State’s role in protecting and promoting population health, and the tensions this raises with individual autonomy. He recently published an acclaimed book entitled What Makes Health Public? and led an international workshop, co-organised with colleagues at McGill University, Canada, debating political philosophy and public health law and policy. Alongside this work John researches health care law more generally, including assisted dying and end of life decision-making, organ donation policy and mental capacity law.

Scholars in HEAL, like those in other research centres in the Law School, have a strong commitment to developing world-leading research that can be brought into teaching as well as public and policy engagement.

Course structure

We offer six programmes at undergraduate level. All include the core legal modules you will need to obtain your professional exemptions. LLB Law students can choose from a wide range of optional modules to reflect your interests and career ambitions. Our respected LLB Maritime Law programme specialises in that area.

You can also study LLB European Legal Studies or International Legal Studies, which feature a full academic year at a leading university overseas.

Graduates can opt to study an LLB over two years on our accelerated programme, which also includes our JD pathway option that is tailored to students wishing to practice in Canada.*

All programmes contain a final year compulsory dissertation (except JD pathway students); your chance to work independently and creatively on a substantial project. This is an outstanding feature of the final year of our LLB programmes and is highly valued by employers. Some of the work produced by our students is of publishable quality.

How will you learn?

Our teaching has received the highest-possible rating by the UK Government’s Quality Assurance Agency. Our academic staff are experienced lecturers and passionate about their subjects. You will learn through lectures, seminars and tutorials, group work and online methods and your work will be assessed through exams, assignments and presentations. We will provide written feedback on your work in all courses.

As a Southampton law student, you will have access to the largest law library on the south coast of England with more than 55,000 legal volumes. You will also benefit from the latest information technology and online learning resources.

Mooting

All of our first year students learn how to make and present legal arguments in a moot, an imaginary court case in which participants present oral arguments in relation to a specific area of the law in a formal setting before a judge. There will be plenty of opportunities to practise your skills in national and international competitions. Our activities are supported by local judges and barristers and generously supported by several regional chambers.

Pro Bono Initiatives

The Southampton Law School is unique in offering a wide range of pro bono opportunities for LLB students. These projects are open to any undergraduate who wants to give up their time voluntarily to help others and, at the same time, develop valuable legal skills.

All projects are supported and assisted by experienced Southampton Law School academic staff, who work collaboratively with local and national law firms. Pro bono work is proving extremely popular with aspiring barristers and solicitors, as you will learn and practise essential transferable skills that will be vital in your career.

Employability Skills Programme

The Employability Skills Programme has been running in the Law School for fifteen years and offers students a unique opportunity to develop key transferable skills, relevant to those considering a career within and outside the legal profession.

It is an excellent opportunity for students to network and make important contacts in the legal and business communities.

Students get the opportunity to attend a range of presentations and interactive workshops led by professionals in the legal and business professions. Many of the contributors are Alumni now in senior positions in regional and global law firms and organisations. There is also the opportunity to attend Court visits and Employment and Social Security Tribunals.

Curriculum Innovation Programme

We have introduced CIP modules to offer students flexibility in their learning, and provide the opportunity to explore subjects outside of their discipline.

Options include language courses, sustainability in the local and global environment, economics with experiments, social enterprise, and health policy and economics.

Please note that the availability of optional modules may change from time to time, and prospective applicants should visit our website for full and up to date information.

APPLYING AND FUNDING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

General entry requirements

To apply for undergraduate study you must satisfy our general entry requirements and any specific requirements of your chosen programme. Typical entry requirements for applicants with GCE A-levels can be found online.

How to apply

Apply online at www.ucas.com the website for the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Our UCAS code name is SOTON and our number is S27. All students should apply between 1 September 2015 and 15 January 2016. If you are an international student from outside the UK or EU, we may consider your application up until 30 June 2016. However, we cannot guarantee there will be vacancies on our courses after the January deadline.

Further information may be found in our Admissions Policy at www.southampton.ac.uk/admissions-policy

Tuition fees and funding

The University will set fees for 2016/17 when the government establishes limits for tuition fees. For 2015/16, the University set the tuition fee for UK students at £9,000 and we offer a large number of generous fee waivers and bursaries for eligible students.

For UK students from lower income families, these financial packages will be based on household income supplied to us by the Student Loans Company.

Your tuition fee may cover compulsory course costs, such as field trips and laboratory clothing; however a contribution may be necessary towards certain elements. Please check with the Admissions team for more details.

Visit our website for the latest information on tuition fees before you submit your UCAS form for entry in the 2016/17 academic year. Students who have applied for a deferred place in 2015/16 will be eligible for the 2016/17 tuition fees and support.

If you are a UK student you can apply for loans to help pay for both fees and maintenance. For more details, visit www.southampton.ac.uk/money

Channel Islands/ Isle of Man student fees

Fees are set by the islands’ governments and UK universities are notified of the levels in the spring prior to the academic session in which students commence their programme of study.

International student fees for 2016

All programmes (including Foundation Year) in Arts, Humanities, Law, Social Sciences and Mathematics: £15,390 per year.

Fixed fees

International students commencing their programme of study in 2016, will pay the same fixed fee for each year of their programme, with the exception of programmes where a combination of clinical and non-clinical fees apply. In these instances, the non-clinical fixed fee will apply for years one and two, and the clinical fixed fee will apply for the remainder of the programme.

TERMS & CONDITIONSThe University’s Charter, Statutes, Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk

Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. It is provided for information purposes only. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure.

The information contained in the brochure, welcome guides or on our websites. is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

1. Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.

We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary:

– to alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable;

– to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements);

– to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University);

– to make changes to our Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students;

– to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too

few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).

If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the “Change”), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity.

a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change.

b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either:

(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or

(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified.

If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.

c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university.

2. Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility.

Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change, are in addition to any statutory rights of

cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure.

In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.southampton.ac.uk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually.

Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found in the Calendar at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk

Further information about, or clarification of, these procedures is available from Admissions Team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, email: [email protected].

Data ProtectionDuring the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
