The LLB Law with International Study allows you to gain a qualifying law degree, alongside the opportunity to develop an appreciation of globally interconnected legal issues with a year at a partner institution. Manchester's LLB will enable you to develop the skills, knowledge and professional network to be highly employable, whether you have ambitions to practise law or enter a different field of work. You will learn core law subjects, as well as being able to choose from the extensive range of optional units offered by our diverse team of legal, criminological and ethical specialists. Studying at one of the UK's most international universities means you will be given opportunities to develop connections with legal practitioners and industry professionals from across the world. Our commitment to improving our local communities will further expose you to the real impact of our work and research, and offer unique opportunities to develop the awareness and practical experience needed to forge your own career. Combining your degree with international study will further allow you to acquire a practical understanding of legal, political and cultural issues within an international context. The course aims to provide you with an understanding of law as an academic discipline, at a breadth and depth appropriate to a first degree qualification, and to satisfy the Academic Stage of training for the General Council of the Bar and the Law Society of England and Wales. You will gain a strong grounding in the basic principles and rules of English Law and European Law and an understanding of legal principles and rules in other legal systems, as well as an appreciation of the responsibilities of lawyers to the courts, the legal profession, the community and individuals within them. We also help you to develop social skills, and an understanding of society and of the role of law within society. You will be offered the chance to develop educational skills in the context of meeting members of the law profession and international staff, students and visitors. The opportunity to study abroad as part of your degree will enable you to develop a unique understanding of a legal system and issues to which you would not normally be exposed whilst studying in the UK. You are assessed by a combination of written examinations and course work.
