Additional Information
The maximum number of class hours will not exceed an average of four hours per week per subject. The subject program will specify the actual class hours required for each subject. Seminars normally commence in the first week of session. Students are asked to indicate their preferred seminar/tutorial times prior to the commencement of session.
Important: There may be some restrictions on class sizes in Legal Studies subjects. Accordingly, students are strongly advised to finalise their enrolment in Legal Studies subjects for both Autumn and Spring sessions as early as possible, preferably before the commencement of the academic year. In certain instances, adding Legal Studies subjects after the enrolment or re-enrolment dates may not be possible.
