Bachelor or Laws (LLB) – LLB students study law as part of a double degree and in their first year will usually take one law subject per term. Each subject will have five hours of classes or structured learning activities per week for nine weeks (over a ten-week period). There will be assigned readings prior to each class as set out on Moodle. As a guide, students in first year subjects can expect no less than one hour of reading for every hour of class. You will also need to schedule in time for assignments and other assessment items and to revise for the exam at the end of term. The workload for your other degree will depend on what you are studying. For example, Science may include lab time in addition to classes. Check with the relevant faculty for more information.
Juris Doctor (JD) – If you are a full-time JD student, your first-year load will be two or three law subjects per term. Each subject will have five hours of classes or structured learning activities per week for nine weeks (over a ten-week period). There will be assigned readings prior to each class as set out on Moodle and, as a guide, students in first year subjects can expect no less than one hour of reading for every hour of class. You will also need to schedule in time for assignments and other assessment items and to revise for the exam at the end of term. It is a heavy workload, and many students find the volume of reading to be a challenge at first. In later years the number of contact hours and the volume of reading varies and depends on whether the subject is a core course or elective.
Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (BCCJ) – BCCJ students study Criminology as a standalone degree or as part of a double degree with Law or Social Work. Each subject will have three hours of classes or structured learning activities per week for nine weeks (over a ten-week period). Class time will be supplemented by assigned readings and/or activities that should be completed prior to each class as set out on Moodle. As a guide, students in first year subjects can expect one to two readings per week per course, which will require around hour of reading time for every hour of class. You will also need to schedule in time for assignments throughout the term and exam revision at the end of term in courses where exams are set. The workload for your other degree will depend on what you are studying. For example, Law courses have different associated work hours per week per course (see above for details), and Social Work courses will often include significant placement requirements. Check with your Program Authority or Director if you have any questions.
