If students do not take Land Law / Cyfraith Tir and Equity and Trusts / Ecwiti a Chyfraith Ymddiriedau in Year 2 of the degree schemes, then they will not be able to take all six SQE optional modules in year 3 and they will therefore not be able to take modules which cover all functioning legal knowledge for SQE 1.
