Manchester law school

What's up people. I am an italian applicant(a successful one, thank gawd) who was admitted to the LLB course at Manchester University. Basically irony claimed that I was going to receive an offer within two days from my application lool, and I still got plenty of time to decide whether to accept their offer or not, one week at most.

Now, I was worried about the prestige that this university holds for social sciences, but more in particular, for Law. Indeed, UoM, is highly regarded for mostly anything related to the field of science, but does it still boast the same prestige for law?

Being a foreigner, while living outside the UK, doesn't help that much. I need your insights about the Law Faculty, its prestige around the UK and the Globe, and the graduate prospect of employment. Yeah, that's right. I'd like to know according to you, if it's worth giving it a shot, after all we are talking about having a debt of 27k pounds after only three years rofl.

By the way, why on earth did they increase that much tuition fees since this year entry? That's ridiculously high rofl!

Just gave a look at that link you forwarded me Ella, beautiful name btw, I didn't know that Manchester was actually the first university targeted by employers in the UK.. I mean, that's an oustanding achievement to say the least!

I'm glad to hear that UoM hasn't dropped prestige for its law dept. But yeah, it's crazy that you're allowed to pop in lecturers' offices almost whenever you feel comfortable =P guess I'll have big time at manchester. The only thing that worries me atm, is the obvious matter of making friends. My english is almost acceptable, but a couple of mates told me that I tend to use formal words in informal contexts. In a nutshell, the likelihood of looking like a weirdo is still pretty high. Well, I have only built up a decent grounding of academic english, for academic purposes. Which means that I'm not prepared yet to face alone those daily matters that everybody normally deals with.

Yep, Manchester always does really well in employment figures, both nationally and internationally! It also ranks very highly worldwide in its research. The law department produces both law and criminological research and it is consistently rated very high in quality.

As an international student I imagine you will have extra help with settling into Manchester - extra letures, 'buddies' or local contacts with other international students etc. Living in halls you'll pick up English and people around you will always help you out if you can't explain something or don't understand what others are saying. You shouldn't stick out at all as there are about 25% international students as a whole at Manchester and probably about the same amount in law itself.

That's really cool! This is the stuff I was looking for

About accomodation halls, I'm still unsure whether to choose Fallowfield or Victoria Park. Both campuses are great, yet I'm very intrigued by Fallowfield social scene. Right now, I'd say odds are much greater on fallowfield :P

Fallowfield is really good for first year, and the majority of your friends and people on your course will live there so it's good for arranging to meet people. A lot of sportclubs train in and around Fallowfield so it's pretty much good for everything

If you're looking at Victoria Park I'd consider not going further out than 105/106/108 (http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=6353) as no buses go off the main Oxford/Wimslow Road and it's frustrating to walk to the halls.

I've also got some pictures of accommodation here to help: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellakrystina/sets/

Hi

is manchester still considered good for LLb law even though it doesn't feature in the top 10 of the league tables especially for law?
