Course description

Our LLB Law with Politics course is a joint honours qualifying law degree that explores the relationship between the two disciplines of Politics and Law.

The Law part of the course provides you with a solid and comprehensive grounding in key legal principles, as well as enabling you to specialise in particular areas of interest in later years.

In Politics, we introduce you to leading approaches in areas such as international relations and European politics, as well as core theoretical concepts. Building on this foundation, you're free to follow your particular interests within the field of politics in Years 2 and 3.

Alongside enhanced skills in legal reasoning, you will develop the intellectual ability and flexibility to readily assimilate new ideas and materials from a variety of legal and political sources.

The skills and knowledge you gain will have far-reaching relevance for your future career, whether in the field of law, international relations or a variety of other social science disciplines.

You will study in one of the UK's key cities for political activity and advancement, benefiting from the extensive legal and political expertise at Manchester while gaining a deep understanding of law and its relevance to the ever-changing world around you.

Special features

Volunteer for the Legal Advice Centre

You can gain insights into the legal profession while helping members of the public with real life legal issues by volunteering at the University's Legal Advice Centre, which offers pro bono legal advice to the public, university staff and students. It is sponsored by major city firms and supported by University of Law solicitors and barristers who are quality marked by the Legal Services Commission.

The Centre aims to provide practical experience for our students who are supervised by legal practitioners, and to offer a reliable service to its clients, who seek help with their legal problems and in many circumstances have nowhere else to obtain legal advice.
