At Salford, you’re never on your own. We’ll have your back from the moment you apply to the day you leave us as a confident and highly skilled graduate. 

Elizabeth, one of our LLB (Hons) Law graduates, talks about how Clearing helped her make the most of Salford’s opportunities. Her story shows what’s possible when you’ve got the right people around you.

“From the first phone call, the team was so supportive. It felt like the right place straight away. Salford gave me real opportunities to experience the legal world and the confidence to pursue my career.” 

LLB (Hons) Law student, Alayali Rizvi, tells us about his experiences at the University of Salford:

“There was support on another level from academics and students. Help and advice are available immediately to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.  

The Law Society at Salford has also brought out another version of me that I didn’t know existed. I have had a great support network, which has helped me ensure I am ready for my next stage.

My time at Salford has been life-changing and the best few years of my life.” 

LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology student, Aamenah Chohan, tells us about the extra benefits of studying Law with Criminology at the University of Salford: 

“The wide array of networking events on offer have enabled me to meet a variety of different solicitors and even secure work experience with the General Medical Council, which is not usually offered to students. I’ve also strengthened my interview skills through interviews with the Crown Prosecution Service and other organisations.”
