The word "finalise" means "Make final; put the last touches on; put into final form." Is that really the word you meant to use? It's not clear what question you're asking.

York has a lot of problem based learning and group-work from what I’ve heard (which isn’t for everyone). Manchester seems lovely. Both seem great. Have you visited either?

Manchester tends to have a bit of a higher reputation but are both well regarded. The main difference between the two is obviously that York is a campus uni and Manchester is city, so maybe that’s something you should think about.

Hi there,

It's lovely for us to hear you're considering studying Law at York

Something that makes our undergraduate LLB Law course stand out from others is that it's taught using Problem Based Learning. This is a more modern, practical approach to teaching law, which is designed to better equip you for your future law career. We have good opportunities for gaining practical experience too, such as volunteering at the Baroness Hale Legal Clinic on campus, which provides free legal advice to people and businesses.

The York Law School is well regarded both in the UK and globally. We are ranked a top 25 law school in the UK (Times Higher Education's ranking of the latest REF results (2021)), and we are in the world top 150 for Law (Times Higher Education World University Rankings by Subject 2025).

I hope this helps answer your question, if there's anything else we can help with, please add it as a reply to this thread.

Best wishes,
Hannah 😀
