最近有不少同學問，究竟多少分才能獲得一個London U的Second Up LLB。
其實這視乎你是否正在就讀London U LLB。是的話，適用於你的Regulations是Revised Regulations 2014-15，大家可於以下網頁瀏覽－
http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/community-support-resources/current-students/programme-specifications-regulations/programme-specifications-regulations-2014-2015 （點＂Laws: LLB, Diploma in Law and related individual courses (Revised Regulations)＂）
在該Regulations的第84頁可見，要取得一個Second Up的LLB，你需要-
方法一: 在9科當中最少5科考獲60-69分(或以上)，而9科的總分為505分或以上
方法二: 在9科當中最少4科考獲60-69分(或以上)，而9科的總分為520分或以上
請留意，兩者的平均分505/9=56.11 和520/9=57.78均低過60。
若果你正考慮報讀London U LLB的話，適用於你的Regulations是Programme Regulations 2015-16，大家可於以下網頁瀏覽－
http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/community-support-resources/current-students/programme-information-regulations/programme-regulations-2015-2016/programme-regulat (點"Laws [LLB/CertHE Common Law/Individual Modules]")
在該Regulations的第12頁可見，要取得一個Second Up的LLB，你需要在Level 5和Level 6的Courses中，取得60-69分成績。
Level 5的Course只有: Tort Law
Level 6的Courses包括: Civil and Criminal Procedures, Commercial Law, Company Law, Equity and Trust, EU Law, Evidence和Property Law。
由此看來，在新Regulations下要獲得一個Second Up的難度似乎加大了。
P.S. 若有London U的Current Students正在看這Blog,可否幫忙發電郵給London U? 筆者已寫好提問用的Email，但由於已畢業，無法問London U。可以幫忙的讀者，請發電郵給我 (londonu.lawstudent@gmail.com)
"Important changes to note for 2015 - 16
回覆刪除All Undergraduate Laws students currently registered on the Revised Regulations should now refer to the 2015-16 Programme Specification and Programme Regulations for information related to their programme of study."
hanks a lot Wong. I have read this as well. But I still think it is not to be taken on the face value as it would lead to absurd results.
回覆刪除For example, in the past, it was stipulated in the revised regulations that for a First Honour LLB, one needs at least 610 aggregate marks, while the marks for a second up LLB is 520 (or 505) and that for a Third Honour LLB is 360.
It seems that there is no such clear benchmarks under the new regulations except the followings-
"To obtain a degree with a given class of Honours you must normally achieve passes in at least half the modules at or above that class, and to achieve an aggregate mark at or above that class, but the Board of Examiners will take into account your overall performance"
So it seems to mean one needs at least 540 marks (being 60 times 9 subjects) for a Second Up LLB under the new regulations. If the threshold for a second up degree is raised by the new regulations, it would have retrospective effect?
Also, in the past, all nine subjects stuided throughout the Graduate Entry Route, inclduing Contract Law, Common Law, Public Law and Criminal Law, are counted towards the honour classification.
But under the new regulations, "the class of degree awarded is worked out on the basis of your performance in all modules taken at levels 5 and 6. Your aggregate mark is also taken into account." Accordingly, it means that the marks we obtain in Contract Law, Common Law, Public Law and Criminal Law are not important, as they are not Levels 5 and 6 courses. Alternatively put, they can only be relevant in marginal cases, where the board considers the aggregate marks of a student.
Then for those students who did well in Level 4 Courses, the new system would be unfair to them being affected retrospectively.
Hence, I intend to think that the new regulations will only apply to current students to a certain extent, with some parts exempted.
Hi Law Student,
刪除I'm currently looking into applying for the LLB and the classification is definitely a factor (or I should say a goal) for me to consider the number of subjects I should take for my first year.
It appears that there is a difference of courses to be included as the basis of classes between Standard Entry students and Graduate Entry students.
Section 8.4 states that the classes of Standard Entry students are worked out based on the performance in all modules taken at level 5 and 6, whereas Section 8.5 states that the classes of Graduate Entry students are based on the performance in all modules.
In short, grades for level 4 modules will only be incorporated in classes if students are taking the Graduate route.
The aggregate score for each class is not stated in the 2015/2016 regulation, but point 5 in the 2014/15 version is kept in Section 8.7 in the 2015/16 version. I guess the current scoring benchmark for different classes might not be fixed anymore.
