Law (Taught)

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.

Are you a graduate looking to build a career in law? The University of Greater Manchester's Master’s degree in Law offers a highly regarded and flexible route to acquire postgraduate-level specialist legal knowledge.

The LLM in Law offered by the University of Greater Manchester's School of Law is suitable for law graduates, non-law graduates, and practicing lawyers.

Our challenging but supportive environment gives you the chance to acquire postgraduate legal skills from a team of tutors with specialist knowledge and close links to the legal profession.

You'll have the opportunity to explore the law's key themes and focus your studies on personal and professional interest areas, ranging from corporate and finance law to employment law, intellectual property law, European law, and international law.
