Overview
This module provides students with knowledge and understanding of the operation of the rules of contract law. The module is fundamentally concerned with the principles of agreement, consideration and the intention to create legal relations. Specifically, the module distinguishes contractually enforceable promises from other promises, identifies all the elements of a contract, the formalities, distinctions between express terms and implied terms, and some features of consumer contracts.
Any aspect of this module may be changed in any given academic year, subject to the discretion of the module lecturer.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
