It divides the work in each area into Units, and showsyou the minimum number of hours you should spend on each Unit, at the top right hand corner ofthe first page of each Study Unit, in order to understand the law involved. You should plan on devotinga minimum of 150 hours to each module you study.The section headed ‘Essential Reading’ contained in the Reading List and each Study Unit refersyou to the materials with which you are provided: the Textbook, Cases and Materials and StatuteBook.

These books are not provided but you should be able to purchasethem from Hammicks Legal Bookshop, whose address, telephone number and website detailsare provided in the General Reading section of the Reading List.
