Course content

General real-estate law covers acquisition of ownership. Then, real estate concept, loads and fixtures to real estate are studied, as well as the ownership transition from both contract law and property law related perspectives. In addition, origin, termination and protection of rights of use are studied.

Teaching and working methods

Teaching takes the form of lectures and seminars. Written assignments, to be solved in groups and/or individual, may occur. The student is also expected to study independently, individually or in groups.

Examination

The course is examined partly through above fulfilment of seminars, partly through written and independent examination. If written assignments occur, they are included in the examination.

If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it. If the coordinator has instead recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. 

The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
