Course Overview

Combining an intellectually challenging curriculum with an industry focus, the LLB Law course at Salford Business School gives you a grounding in the key concepts of law while preparing you for a high level legal career.

You will study at the University of Salford campus close to Manchester city centre.

Our goal is to prepare you for a fulfilling life and professional career. Along the way, you’ll learn to be curious, adaptable and confident, ready to meet the digital, ethical and sustainability challenges of the 21st century.

Preparing students for career success is a priority on this Law degree. Modules are designed around the current and future needs of employers and the legal profession; in particular, we have built into your learning an understanding of how changing technology and artificial intelligence is influencing the law. We also place great emphasis on the development of your professional skills; you will have the opportunity to shadow working lawyers and judges, practise your learning during a year’s work placement and develop your client care skills by helping people looking for support from our legal advice schemes. In this way, you learn to put your academic knowledge into practice.

Extracurricular activities, like mooting and trips, are organised by our student led Law Society, complementing your studies and enhancing your experience throughout. Through initiatives like the SILKS law clinics, you’ll have the chance to offer Family and Housing Law support to people in the region, allowing you to not only practise what you’ve learned, but provide help for vulnerable people in the community.

You will:

• Earn a degree accredited by the Bar Standards Board & the Solicitors Regulation Authority

• Gain an excellent foundation of skills and knowledge for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam, if this is your career ambition

• Develop the professional competency needed for any legal career

• Benefit from opportunities including mini pupillage and judicial shadowing and gain real, hands-on experience on a work placement
