LLB Law
University of Manchester
Course Overview
Manchester's three-year LLB Law is a qualifying law degree under the Solicitors Regulation Authority — covering all seven foundations needed to sit the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) for England and Wales. The curriculum mixes the core (contract, tort, criminal, public, EU, equity & trusts, land law) with electives in commercial, international and human rights law.
Sri Lankan applicants apply through UCAS by January 14 with predicted A/Level grades; many of our students continue from the Sri Lankan Cambridge or Edexcel A/Level systems straight into Manchester. The LLB is well-suited to students aiming at City of London firms, the Bar, or returning to corporate/legal-tech roles in Colombo with a globally recognised qualification.
