What our students say
Celina Pereira/ Law with Politics
"We are lucky to have so many impressive Lecturers in our cohort…some of them are our textbook writers!
I have had so many opportunities to launch my career in the past three years, from volunteering at the Justice Hub to having career dinners with law firms, to shadowing the Mayor of Manchester.
This degree has opened so many doors for me and I am sure it will do the same for you."

Elisha Hamilton/ Law and Criminology
"The University itself offers so many amazing opportunities. I’ve taken part in volunteering for the last few years, as well as a range of sports (whether it be a taster or a weekly commitment) like gymnastics and powerlifting.
The opportunities offered by the Law department are an amazing way to develop your skills, I was part of the Legal Advice Centre, where I interviewed a real-life client, research a completely new area of law and compose a letter of advice."

Tessy Idemudia/ 2nd year Law with Politics
"My key pieces of advice to anyone coming to Manchester to study law:
- Engage with all your seminar leaders and course mates so you’re gaining an insight into the different perspectives that will help you produce amazing essays.
- Reach out to students who are currently in their first or second year of the course. They’ll have a first-hand perspective that you won’t be able to gain from simply reading the university’s website or watching some YouTube videos!"
