        Course modules

        In the foundation year of your LLB Law degree, you will build advanced skills in legal research, analysis, and communication. Core modules focus on law undergraduate essentials such as legal methods, government and constitutional law, and key legal principles, preparing you for professional or academic advancement in the legal field.

        Prepare yourself for the professional world by building key career skills that employers value. You’ll explore career pathways, practise job application essentials, create a professional LinkedIn profile, and develop networking confidence through workshops and real-world activities. Supported by academic staff and career coaches, you’ll reflect on your strengths, set goals, and build a strategy for personal development. Scenario-based learning, digital skills training, and guest speaker sessions bring industry expectations into clear focus. By the end, you’ll not only understand future workplace trends but also have a portfolio that showcases your readiness for the opportunities ahead.

        Strengthen your academic and professional skills while gaining a clear understanding of what university study demands. You’ll work through real-world scenarios to build essential abilities in time management, research, digital literacy, and academic communication. Guided by industry experts and academic staff, you’ll practise using digital platforms, refine your study techniques, and learn how to approach higher-level learning with confidence. With a focus on reflection and skill-building, you’ll also develop habits that will support you throughout your studies and beyond. This module offers you a dynamic start to mastering academic life while preparing for future business and enterprise opportunities.

        Confidence with numbers is vital in today’s professional world. This module builds your skills in interpreting data, solving practical problems, and using digital tools for analysis and visualisation. You’ll work on tasks like calculating financial data, understanding averages, and applying basic probability to real business scenarios. Through guided workshops and digital practice, you’ll become comfortable analysing information and using it to make decisions — an essential ability for higher education study and future employment.

        Communication is a key driver of business success. You’ll learn to adapt your speaking and writing styles to different audiences, develop persuasive techniques, and refine your digital communication skills. Practical activities in scenario-based learning spaces, alongside industry speakers, will sharpen your professional voice. Through real-world tasks, you’ll also practise active listening, negotiation, and effective teamwork. By the end of this module, you’ll understand how powerful communication can be — and how to apply it to business innovation and enterprise management.

        Law and justice are explored through real-world cases and critical scenarios. You’ll analyse legal principles, criminal justice processes, and criminological theories in practical settings. Workshops, court visits, and simulated legal tasks will sharpen your ability to apply theory to professional challenges. Understanding how social factors interact with legal frameworks forms a key part of the module, helping you build the analytical and reflective skills needed for future studies in law or criminology.

        As this is a qualifying law degree, you can expect to learn the fundamentals of the profession from day one. The compulsory modules in your first two years include an introduction to legal skills and methods and insights into the key specialist areas of the subject. These include contract, land, criminal, human rights, constitutional and administrative law.

        This module aims to provide you with the skills and the ability to reflect on your learning alongside an understanding of the requirements for the successful study of law.

        There are two main aims of this module: one is to gain an understanding of the institutions and processes of the English legal system. The second is to provide you with the ability to effectively analyse legal materials and to allow the development of your legal analysis skills and techniques.

        The main aims of this module are twofold: to gain an understanding of the institutions and processes of the English legal system. Also, it provides you with the ability to effectively analyse legal materials and to allow the development of legal analysis skills and techniques.

        Contract law governs the legal relationship between buyers and sellers of goods and services. You will acquire an understanding of the general principles of the substantive English law of contract through an appreciation of extensive case law and modern legislation. A practical approach is adopted throughout so you will develop the knowledge and skills required to advise a client in a typical contract dispute.

        This module is designed to introduce you to key principles in English land law. You will examine the legal relationship between individuals and land by looking at concepts of possession, ownership, enjoyment, use and control. You will have the opportunity to develop your analytical skills and the ability to think critically about problems related to land.
         

        You will examine the core constitutional arrangements in the United Kingdom. You will explore the principles of constitutionalism and the role of the law in the regulation of government through an investigation of the structures of Government, the rule of law, the impact of Europe, the role of judicial review and human rights. You will also consider the relationship between citizens and the state with particular attention to constitutional reform.

        In year 2 of your LLB Law degree, you will deepen your understanding of core legal areas, including criminal law, tort law, and equity and trusts. Modules focus on human rights, EU law, and the skills required for effective legal practice, providing a strong foundation for law undergraduate studies and future professional development.

        The aim of this module is to equip you with the understanding and knowledge of the requirements to become an effective legal professional.

        This module introduces you to the general principles of criminal law and the essential elements of criminal liability in England & Wales. You will learn how to work with criminal rules through the study of some key offence and defence definitions. You will also acquire the practical skills necessary to apply criminal law and evaluate its scope. Criminal law is a core module if you are on the LLB Law programme.

        This module aims to provide a substantial introduction to the concepts of human rights and equality and their relevance to domestic law. It will explore the theory of rights and an understanding of human rights following the incorporation of certain Articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) by the Human Rights Act 1998. You will undertake a detailed examination of the provisions of the 1998 Act and attendant case law of both the domestic courts and the European Court of Human Rights. 

        This module aims to facilitate your acquisition of the common law principles and statutory provisions (as well as policy considerations) forming the Law of Tort. It also aims to develop your critical perspective on the areas of Tort Law forming the syllabus, together with your critical understanding of the role of policy in the Law of Tort.

        You will acquire an in-depth understanding of how European Union law has developed through the unique procedures of the key institutions and the role of the European Court of Justice. You will also explore the substantive law of the EU through an analysis of the free movement of goods.

        This module aims to introduce you to the basic principles and remedies of equity and the law of trusts. It aims to consolidate skills of legal reasoning, in particular, to offer supervised practice in case analysis and problem-solving. It encourages you to reflect upon the continued evolution of the law of equity and trusts.

        This course offers the opportunity of year-long placement between years two and three. If you choose to take this option, you’ll spend your third year on a placement with a relevant company or organisation, adding valuable practical experience to your growing academic knowledge. 

        The extra placement year means it will take four years to complete your studies, instead of three.

        In your final year, you'll need to complete one compulsory module on equity and trusts, but will then be able to choose from a wide range of options. These include intellectual property law, banking law, family law, commercial law, client practice and civil and criminal litigation. If you take these last two options, you can gain a Higher Diploma in Paralegal Practice in addition to your degree. You'll be encouraged to 'learn by doing' by volunteering for the University's much-admired Legal Advice Centre in Stratford and through work placements with local law firms.

        The module aims to develop your understanding of the philosophical and jurisprudential relationship(s)between ethics, morality and the law; the values underpinning the legal system; and the regulation of the legal profession, via the legal ethics codes. This module is an introductory study of the professional and wider social duties lawyers owe to the courts, their clients and the wider public. The aim of the module is to stimulate you to reflect upon the nature of legal ethics and to play an active role in the formation of your own professional ethics. This is achieved by equipping you with the introductory knowledge and understanding of what it means for lawyers to ‘behave ethically.’ By the end of this module, you will be able to recognise, debate and resolve ethical dilemmas, and demonstrate an awareness of potential ethical issues arising in a legal context.

        The purpose of the project option is to offer you a space in which you may initiate and follow an in-depth academic enquiry, without a structured programme. If you enjoy thinking and working on your own and writing/rewriting essays this is suitable for you. You will have the opportunity to develop organisational and research skills by undertaking a piece of work of your own choice, which must be organised, researched and completed as a written project. You also need to be able to work well with a supervisor (a member of the Law School staff).

        The aim of this module is to provide you with a sound knowledge and understanding of the law of intellectual property (IP) which is a rapidly expanding area of private practice closely connected to the knowledge-based economy. You will discover how IP is shaping the current economic and political order both domestically and globally. You will be introduced to the rationale of IP and the influence that is exercised by external systems (e.g. International Economic Law). 

        Your focus will be on the laws of copyright, trademarks, designs, patents, passing off and breach of confidence, and the available remedies. In this highly specialist module, you will be introduced to this increasingly important area of law which has its own rules and procedures.

        The module is designed to examine the impact of law on sports through a study of the legal regulation of sports and of legal aspects of sports as a commercial and cultural phenomenon. You are expected to engage in a critical analysis of legal issues raised.

        This module will provide you with an in-depth and, in some aspects, a critical understanding of some of the major topics in Company Law; to develop an ability to analyse problems of some complexity and to apply principles to their solution.

It includes an examination of some of the more specialist areas of professional advisory work. The module aims to equip you with the necessary skills for effective practice in the selected areas.

This module may be taken with Civil & Criminal Litigation by students wishing to obtain the National Association of Licensed Paralegal's Higher Diploma in Paralegal Practice (available only to LLB students).

        This module will develop your knowledge and practical skills in the law of evidence. The main focus of this module will be on ‘criminal’ evidence. As part of this module, you will undertake practical drafting activities through the submission of (practice)skeleton arguments on the various substantive areas of law covered in this module. In addition, you will engage in advocacy training with a view to presenting your legal submissions at a hearing before a jury trial takes place, for example, to argue about the admissibility of evidence. The hearing on the voir dire, or ‘trial within a trial’, is the procedure whereby the court determines disputed preliminary facts. As a result, this module will enable you to develop the skills to effectively argue (both in writing and verbally) in a formal court setting. For students wishing to qualify for the Nigerian Bar course, this module must be taken in combination with Commercial Law.

        This module aims to provide you with a critical understanding of the types of commercial transactions and of their regulation by law; the nature of personal property and its transfer; agency in commercial transactions.

        This module will introduce you to the regulatory and private law aspects of banks and banking including both commercial banks and investment banks, as well as financial conglomerates (or complex groups) made up of banking, securities and insurance firms. Banks are among the most important financial institutions within any economy, nationally and internationally. This module examines basic aspects of law concerning the structure, operation and function of banks. The module is also taught on a comparative basis with reference to significant international standards as well as European and other national country models including in frontier markets in Africa and Asia. It is as such, not an exclusively UK module.

        This course will examine the nature and detail of current individual employment law, set within an historical, political and economic context. The course is intended to give you a sound practical and theoretical grasp of the key issues and concepts in British and European employment law.

        This module aims to further examine the law in the area of equality and human rights. You will explore the debates and complexities around the concepts of equality and human rights through an analysis of legal frameworks and comparative materials.

        The module allows you to analyse familiar principles of law, such as tort and crime, as they apply in a new and specific area, that of medical law and to develop your knowledge of legal and ethical issues arising out of medicine and health care. It will also give you your first taste of philosophy and ethics.

        You will examine the emerging legal framework governing the movement of people between the UK and the EU and juxtapose it to EU law on the free movement of people. You will therefore focus on the EU Settlement Scheme, the extent to which it secures 'acquired rights', and its possible pitfalls. You will also consider the emerging common legal frameworks on short-term visits and economic migration between the UK and the EU based on reciprocity, and how these overcome current divergences between the UK and the EU's own models. This module will therefore equip you with expertise in an emerging field of law which is likely to generate a plethora of legal questions. You will be encouraged to evaluate the law and to apply the law to the resolution of problems. You will also be prompted to reflect on the intersection between law, politics and society.

        • To provide you with sound knowledge and understanding of competition law breaches from a domestic, EU, and international perspective.
        • To examine the most relevant legal issues related to anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position and monopolisation, and merger control.
        • To understand the different legal frameworks by which competition law is enforced (public, private, criminal enforcement) and the implications that arise.
        • To reflect upon the EU competition law that has served as the main model for many other competition law regimes in the world, including the UK.
        • To examine comparative law perspective and examples from cases from the UK and the United States, as well as some other major jurisdictions (e.g. China, South Africa, Germany, France).
        • To introduce you to this increasingly important area of law which has its own rules and procedures.

        Your timetable

        Your individualised timetable is normally available within 48 hours of enrolment. Whilst we make every effort to ensure timetables are as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week between 9.00am and 6.00pm. For undergraduate students, Wednesday afternoons are normally reserved for sports and cultural activities, but there may be occasions when this is not possible. Timetables for part-time students will depend on the modules selected.

        Class sizes

        The size of classes can vary depending on the nature of the course, module and activity. This can range from large groups in a lecture theatre setting, to smaller groups taking part in seminars and collaborative work.

        How you'll be assessed

        We'll assess you with a mix of coursework and exams. Coursework includes essays, a reflective diary, oral presentations, practical exercises and answering hypothetical problem questions. Throughout the course you'll be given plenty of feedback to help you improve. If you choose the final-year project option, you'll conduct independent research on a legal topic of your choice and complete a 4,000-word dissertation. 

        We aim to provide feedback on assessments within 15 working days, although you will receive immediate feedback following many of our face-to-face assessments.

              You are expected to enrol by the first day of your academic year (click on "Discover") which will be notified to you in your enrolment instructions. Failure to enrol by the deadline contained in our Fees Policy (for most students by the end of the second week of teaching) may lead to the cancellation of student status and all rights attached to that status, including attendance and use of UEL's facilities.
              If you do not complete the formal process of enrolment but, by your actions, are deemed to be undertaking activities compatible with the status of an enrolled student, UEL will formally enrol you and charge the relevant tuition fee. Such activities would include attendance in classes, use of online learning materials, submission of work and frequent use of a student ID card to gain access to university buildings and facilities. Late enrolment charges may be applied if you do not complete your enrolment by the relevant deadline.

               

              2) Tuition fees

              Your tuition fee is determined by:

              • the programme you are studying;
              • if you are studying full or part-time;
              • whether you are a UK/EU or International student; and when you started your studies with us.

              We will tell you the tuition fee that you are due to pay when we send you an offer as well as confirm any additional costs that will be incurred, such as bench fees or exceptional overseas study trips.

              Unregulated tuition fees (where the UK government has not set a maximum fee to be charged) are generally charged annually and may increase each year you are on the programme. Any annual increase will be limited to a maximum of 5% of the previous year's fee. Regulated tuition fees (where the UK government has set a maximum fee to be charged) may also be subject to an annual increase. Any annual increase will be in line with the increase determined by the UK government.

              You will be notified of any increases in tuition fees at re-enrolment in the programme.
              Further information on tuition fees and payment options is contained in our Fees Policy.

               

              3) Student ID Cards

              To produce an ID card, we need a recent photograph of you that is not obscured and is a true likeness. We will either ask you to send us/upload a photograph in advance of enrolment or take one of you at the point of enrolment. The photograph will be held on our student records system for identification purposes by administrative, academic and security/reception staff. By accepting these Terms of Admittance you are confirming that you agree to your photograph being used in this way. If you object to your photograph being used in this way please contact the University Secretary via email at gov&legal@uel.ac.uk.

              You are required to provide proof of your identity at initial enrolment and prior to the issue of your UEL student ID card. This is usually a full and valid passport but instead of this you may bring two of the following:

              • A (full or provisional) driving licence showing current address
              • An international driving licence
              • An original birth certificate (in English)
              • A debit or credit card (one only)
              • A benefit book or benefit award letter (dated within the last 3 months)
              • An Armed Forces Identity card
              • A police warrant card

              You are required to carry and display your student ID card whilst on UEL premises and must keep it safe so that it is not misused by others.

               

              4) Proof of qualifications

              You are required to produce evidence of having satisfied the entry requirements for your programme. Such evidence must be in the form of the original certificates or certified notification of results from the examining body. All qualifications must be in English or supported by an official certified translation.

              If you fail to provide evidence of having satisfied the requirements for the programme you are liable to be withdrawn from the programme.

               

              5) Non-academic entry requirements

              You may need to demonstrate that you have met non-academic entry requirements prior to enrolment by providing additional information to UEL. For example, if you:-

              • are under 18 years of age at the time of initial enrolment,
              • are applying to a programme that requires health clearance for study as stated in the programme specification,
              • have declared a relevant criminal conviction,
              • will be studying a programme that involves contact with children and/or vulnerable adults or leads to membership in a professional body that deals with children and/or vulnerable adults.

              You will not be permitted to enrol and any offer will be withdrawn if UEL deems that you are unsuitable for study following assessment of this additional information in line with published policies. These policies will be provided to you when the additional information is requested.

               

              6) Criminal convictions

              UEL has a responsibility to safeguard staff, students and the wider community. You are required to inform UEL of any relevant criminal convictions you have and provide further information relating to these as requested. This includes any relevant criminal convictions received whilst studying at UEL. UEL will assess all information received in line with published policies and may remove you from a programme if the conviction makes you unsuitable for study in UEL's opinion.

              Failure to declare a relevant criminal conviction or provide further information about you may result in expulsion from UEL.

               

              7) Providing false information to UEL

              If you are discovered to have falsified or misrepresented information presented to UEL at application, enrolment or during your studies, you may be expelled from UEL.

               

              8) Continued enrolment and student status

              You are expected to abide by all UEL policies and regulations, both those in force at the time of first and subsequent enrolment and as later revised and published from time to time. UEL reserves the right to make reasonable changes to its policies and regulations and any substantial amendments will be brought to your attention. You are also required to take personal responsibility for your studies; this includes undertaking all studies in support of your programme as prescribed by UEL.

              Key policies include:

              Manual of General Regulations

              This describes the general regulatory framework of UEL and gives information about how UEL confers its degrees, diplomas and certificates. It includes important information about academic performance requirements for continued study.

              Read the Manual of General Regulations

              Engagement Attendance Policy

              This outlines UEL's expectations of students in relation to attendance on and engagement with taught programmes. These students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and engage fully with learning materials and resources provided to them - failure to do so may result in withdrawal from module(s) and/or the programme.

              Read the Engagement Attendance Policy

              Code of Practice for Postgraduate Research Degrees

              The purpose of this code is to provide a framework for the successful organisation and implementation of good practice in all matters relating to postgraduate research degrees at UEL. It aims to ensure that all students are effectively supported and supervised so that the full scope and potential of their research is realised; that their thesis is submitted within regulatory periods and that they complete their programme with a suitable and sufficient portfolio of research and employment-related skills and competencies.

              Read the Code of Practice for Postgraduate Research Degrees

              Health and Safety Policy

              This describes the structures and processes by which UEL protects the health and safety of its staff, students and visitors. It confirms that students will receive sufficient information, instruction and induction in relation to health and safety. All students should take reasonable care of their health and safety. They must abide by UEL’s rules and regulations and cooperate with supervisors to enable them to fulfil their obligations. Students must not interfere intentionally, or recklessly misuse anything provided for health and safety.

              UEL has consulted with its students and staff and has adopted a No Smoking Policy to safeguard the health and well-being of its community. Students are required to comply with this policy which restricts smoking to designated shelters and prohibits the use of electronic cigarettes within any UEL building or near building entrances. For further information on our Healthy Campus initiatives and support please visit the Health and Safety pages.

              Student Disciplinary Regulations and Procedures (incorporating the student code of conduct)

              This code is more than a list of things that we should and should not do: it reminds us that we should always consider how our behaviour affects others. The code applies:

              • to all students;
              • at all sites throughout our estate, and;
              • when we represent UEL on business beyond our campus, both in real (face-to-face) and virtual environments.

              And outlines expectations of students:

              • verbal and physical behaviour should always be polite and respectful;
              • behaviour should not impair the engagement, learning or participation of others;
              • anti-social behaviour by individuals and groups will not be tolerated.

              Read the Student Disciplinary Regulations and Procedures

               

              9) Changes to scheduled programmes

              UEL will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the programme of study that you have accepted will conform to the programme specification published on our website and will ensure that the necessary resources required to enable you to meet the required learning outcomes and pass the relevant assessments are available.

              In order to ensure that our programmes are current and relevant, they are subject to regular review. From time to time, to ensure the maintenance of academic standards and/or compliance with professional body requirements, it may be necessary to amend a module or make adjustments to programme content.

              Major changes to programmes that in the reasonable opinion of UEL, will have a significant impact on students will involve consultation with students already enrolled on the programme when the changes are proposed. Once any changes are confirmed, UEL will notify all students and applicants of the changes. When UEL reasonably considers that the change may only impact one or more cohorts on the relevant programme, UEL may decide to only consult with the relevant cohort.

              In the event that we discontinue a programme, we will normally permit existing students to complete the programme within the typical duration of study. In these circumstances, UEL will use reasonable endeavours to continue the programme for existing students without making major changes. If this is not possible, we will support students in changing to another UEL programme on which a place is available, and for which the student is suitably qualified, or assist with transfer to another HEI to complete the programme elsewhere.

               

              10) Changes to these terms

              We may change these terms from time to time where, in UEL's opinion, it will assist in the proper delivery of any programme of study or in order to:-

              (a) Comply with any changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
              (b) Implement legal advice, national guidance or good practice;
              (c) Provide for new or improved delivery of any programme of study;
              (d) Reflect market practice;
              (e) In our opinion make them clearer or more favourable to you;
              (f) Rectify any error or mistake; or
              (g) Incorporate existing arrangements or practices.

              No variation or amendment to these Terms of Admittance may be made without our prior written agreement. In the event that we agree to transfer you to an alternative programme of study, the transfer will be considered to be a variation to the Terms of Admittance, which shall otherwise remain in full force and existence.

              If we revise the Terms of Admittance, we will publish the amended Terms of Admittance by such means as we consider reasonably appropriate. We will use reasonable endeavours to give you notice of any changes before they take effect.

               

              11) Data Protection

              UEL is committed to adhering to its obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and will act as a Data Controller when it processes your personal data. You can find our registration to the Data controller register on ico.org.uk.

              • Details of those with looked-after status or those who have left the care system for the provision of support;
              • Information related to the prevention and detection of crime and the safety and security of staff and students, including, but not limited to, CCTV recording and data relating to breaches of University regulations;

              This is not an exhaustive list, for further information please refer to our fair processing notice pages on uel.ac.uk. In all of its data processing activities, UEL is committed to ensuring that the personal data it collects stores and uses will be processed in line with the data protection principles which can be summarised as:

              • Being processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;
              • Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes;
              • Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary;
              • Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
              • Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary;
              • Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal information;
              • Be accountable for, and be able to demonstrate compliance with, the six principles above.

              Student Responsibilities

              You must ensure that:

              • All personal data provided to UEL is accurate and up-to-date. You must ensure that changes of address etc. are notified to the Student Hub.
              • Students who use UEL's computing facilities may process personal data as part of their studies. If the processing of personal data takes place, students must take responsibility for that processing activity to ensure that it is in line with the data protection principles above.
              • Students who are undertaking research projects using personal data must ensure that:
              • The research subject is informed of the nature of the research and is given a copy of UEL's Fair Processing Notice and this Data Protection Policy.

               

              12) Legal basis for use of data

              By agreeing to these Terms of Admittance and enrolling at UEL, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of a contract for the use of your personal data relating to your enrolment, and if appropriate, registration and ongoing participation in a programme of study. Your personal or special category data will be collected, processed, published and used by UEL, its online learning and teaching services and/or its partners and agents in ways which support the effective management of UEL and your programme of study, to allow for the delivery of bursary schemes and to support improvements to student experience and progression, and are consistent with:

              The terms of the Data Protection Act 2018;

              Any notification submitted to the Information Commissioner in accordance with this legislation; and compliance with any other relevant legislation.
              You have fundamental rights associated with how organisations use your personal data. Further information on data protection and use of your personal data can be found in our Data Protection Policy and on uel.ac.uk.

               

              13) Intellectual property

              You are entitled to the intellectual property rights created during your time studying at UEL that would belong to you under the applicable law. There are some programmes where the assignment of certain types of intellectual property to UEL is appropriate. UEL will require the assignment to it of intellectual property rights relating to postgraduate research that is part of an ongoing research programme.

              Where the nature of the research programme means that some assignment of intellectual property rights to UEL is appropriate, we will take what steps that we can to ensure that your interests are protected. UEL will take reasonable endeavours to ensure:-

              • the scope of the assignment is narrow, and is restricted to what is necessary, for example, to protect UEL’s legitimate interests in the intellectual property created as party to a research programme;
              • the application of the assignment is clearly defined so that it is clear to you in which circumstances the assignment will apply;
              • where the assignment of the intellectual property is appropriate in the circumstances, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the rights of the parties are evenly balanced (for example, your work being acknowledged in a publication and, where appropriate, subject to an appropriate revenue sharing scheme)
              • where UEL claims ownership of intellectual property rights in relation to a taught programme of study, such treatment of those rights will be made clear in the published information relating to that programme.

               

              14) How we communicate with you

              UEL will communicate with you via a variety of channels, including postal letters, e-mail, SMS text messages and online notices. To enable this, we request that you provide us with your e-mail address, postal address, and contact telephone number when you first enrol.

              We will create a UEL e-mail account for you after you enrol. Your e-mail address will be your student number, prefixed with a ‘u’ and followed by ‘@uel.ac.uk’ – e.g.: u1799999@uel.ac.uk. UEL will use this e-mail address to communicate with you and it is important that you regularly check and manage this mailbox for important updates and information.

              You can access your email account, plus information about our services, news and events by logging into our Intranet, intranet.uel.ac.uk.

              18) Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

              UEL is committed to working together to build a learning community founded on equality of opportunity – a learning community which celebrates the rich diversity of our student and staff populations and one in which discriminatory behaviour is challenged and not tolerated within our community.

              Within the spirit of respecting difference, our equality and diversity policies promise fair treatment and equality of opportunity for all regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, disability or religion/belief (or lack of). In pursuing this aim, we want our community to value and to be at ease with its own diversity and to reflect the needs of the wider community within which we operate. 

              For further information on this inclusive approach to education please visit our Student Policies page.

               

              19) Complaints

              We welcome feedback on our programmes and services and facilitate this in a variety of ways, including programme committees, module evaluation forms and surveys.

              However, if you are dissatisfied with a particular service or programme or the manner in which it has been delivered, you must let the person responsible for that service know as we will always try to resolve matters at the earliest opportunity via informal conciliation.

              23) General

              Neither you nor UEL will be liable for failure to perform their obligations under these Terms of Admittance if such failure arises from unforeseeable events, circumstances or causes outside of that party's reasonable control.

No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
