Course Details
Studying Law at the University of Salford gives you a solid grounding in:
- The foundation subjects at the heart of every qualifying law degree
- Specialist studies in some key commercial and business law subjects
- Core modules focussed on the principles of business and entrepreneurship.
The course normally runs over three academic years, or four years if you decide to take a professional placement.
Each academic year is divided into two semesters, during which you will study three modules worth 20 credits each, making a total of six modules studied each year worth 120 credits. On graduation you will have taken eighteen modules altogether, which makes up the 360 credits required for an honours degree.
If you take a professional placement year between your second and third years, you will accumulate a further 60 credits.
To satisfy the requirements of the legal professional bodies for the award of a qualifying law degree you will take nine generic core law modules, and four other specialist law modules. You will also take five business related modules.
