Key Summary
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.
Be industry ready
Preparing students for career success is a priority for 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 are 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 also provide help for vulnerable people in the community.
You will:
- Earn a law degree recognised by the Bar Standards Board
- Develop the professional competency needed for any legal career
- Help the local community with our legal support schemes
- Study in a dynamic environment and learn practical management skills from business simulations and live projects.
This is for you if...
- You are eager to develop sought-after skills through work placements, study abroad schemes, and real-world learning
- You enjoy debating and developing strong, compelling arguments informed by evidence
- You want to learn how you can help the most vulnerable in our society
- Career-focused, Hands-On learning
As the course progresses, you will have the chance to specialise by choosing modules that are relevant to your interests or the direction in which you would like to steer your career. At the end of year 2, you will be able to choose your career pathway, either following the professional route which leads you to the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) or the general route which opens doors to a range of legal careers.
