LAW (MEDIA AND DIGITAL INDUSTRIES) WITH PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE YEAR at University of Salford

Law (Media and Digital Industries) is a degree that combines academically rigorous law modules with a focus on the fast-moving media and digital industries. Accredited by the Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the programme is a qualifying law degree with the added benefit of digital and media-related modules. You will study at our Salford campus close to Manchester city centre.

You will graduate with a range of legal and business skills that make you a fantastic candidate for careers both inside and outside of the legal sector. As the digital industry booms internationally and the world of media continues to evolve, individuals with transferrable professional skills and academic knowledge will be highly sought after by employers.

Preparing students for career success is a priority at Salford Business School. Modules are designed around the current needs of employers and the legal profession.  We also place great emphasis on the development of your professional skills; you will have the opportunity to shadow working lawyers and judges, practise your learning during a year’s work placement and develop your client care skills by helping people looking for support from our legal advice schemes. In this way, you learn to put your academic knowledge into practice.

Extra-curricular activities, like mooting and trips, are organised by our student-led Law Society, complementing your studies and enhancing your experience throughout. Through initiatives like the CLOCK scheme (in partnership with Salford Citizens Advice), you’ll have the chance to offer support to people with welfare benefits appeals in the region, allowing you to not only practise what you’ve learned, but provide help for vulnerable people in the community.

You will:

• Get a qualifying law degree
• Enhance your employability in a growing specialist market
• Develop transferrable professional skills
• Benefit from strong industry links to help develop your skills in real-world situations
• Practise your professional skills through a range of out-of-the classroom schemes and activities
• Help the local community in our legal support schemes
