The dissertation element of the PG Certificate in Employment Law programme offers an opportunity for students to investigate an area of the law that is of particular interest to them in greater detail than the taught element of the course can offer. It allows students to develop and display their skills in independent research and their depth of knowledge of a particular area of law. Less strictly regimented than any taught module, it is intended to provide evidence of the student's ability to research and develop ideas with occasional supervision from a nominated member of Faculty to ensure that the legal area covered is being explored to its potential.

12 Section 9 Employability The Certificate provides knowledge and skills directly relevant to employment in roles in human resources relating to the management of human resources issues with legal aspects and to work in legal offices involving the giving of employment law advice. For HR specialists it provides a through grounding in employment law which will be recognised by employers as going beyond the law learnt while acquiring CIPD status. The Certificate will also equip HR specialists to be effective and critical users of employment law advice providers by solicitors and barristers. For solicitors and barristers who have not in the course of their education and training studied employment law, the Certificate will equip them to start to practise in this field by providing a broadly-based introduction to employment law and giving them the understating of the structure of the subject and familiarity with the statutes, law reports and text books which will enable them to develop their knowledge further and to research particular issues raised by clients. Notes for academics on using this form Please use language which is free of jargon and acronyms Section 2 - Please make your description as distinctive as possible Section 2 - You should make it clear what the pre-requisites or co-requisites are for this module Section 4 - Delete or mark as not applicable any sections which do not apply to a particular module Section 6 - indicate REQUIRED reading, recommending reading and other study materials Sections 7 and 8 delete as appropriate to given assessment types. Section 7 - Formative assessment should be included in modules where possible in 2011/12 and will be a required element of all modules in 2013/14. It provides students with an excellent opportunity to test their understanding of material receive feedback on their work and achieve a better understanding of what is required at a given level of study. Formative assessment does not count towards the final module mark. This box is not intended to encompass all the formative work undertaken on a module only those pieces formally handed in for marking. Please indicate whether you would like submission via the hub. Section 8 - Summative assessment counts towards the final module mark. The nature of each summative assessment should be recorded (in section 8a) along with how the module outcomes are assessed (in section 8b). The return date must be no later than 20 working days from the submission date. The word limit indicated will be displayed to students on 12
13 Evision and on the coursework coversheet. The default is that all summative coursework submission will be submitted electronically as a PDF file. Work can be submitted up to 5MB in size, the standard will be black and white, but colour printing can be provided if requested note that this is at a higher cost and will take longer to reach the hub. If the assessment item is not suitable for electronic submission then a case should be made to the LTS Hub Manager for consideration. LTS are able to arrange invigilation for timed written summative course tests only. Please indicate if you would like to request a professional invigilator. Section 9 Employablity - Elements of module learning which will explicitly enhance a student s employability.
