LLB Law

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.

If you aspire to have a successful career in the legal profession, our LLB (Hons) Law is an ideal choice. With highly-experienced tutors and dedicated courtroom facilities, we offer excellent training in all the core areas of law in a supportive and personalised learning environment.

Whether you're seeking to forge a career as a solicitor, barrister, costs lawyer, legal executive or conveyancer, the University of Greater Manchester's LLB (Hons) Law is an excellent choice. It's also an ideal springboard to a career in civil service, business management, politics, HR or finance.

Our experienced team will guide you as you explore the sources of the law in England and Wales, how it is made and developed, the institutions within which that law is administered, and the personnel who practice law. You'll study the law as it regulates the functions of the state, the relations between private individuals, and the ownership and control of land and other property. You'll also be able to choose additional legal areas that interest you or match your career aspirations.

We'll support you in developing the skills required to practice law. For example, we'll expect and encourage you to participate in mooting debates (a mock legal hearing where points of law are argued) in our purpose-built courtroom. We'll challenge you to develop sought-after critical reasoning, communication and advocacy skills, along with valuable transferable skills such as analytical thinking, practical problem-solving, presentation, negotiation skills and teamwork. Overall, our dedicated team will focus on helping you gain the skills employers value along with a deep and critical understanding of the law.

Information about the modules offered as part of this course is available on the University of Greater Manchester’s website.
