About Manchester
The North West is the fastest growing legal centre in the UK after London and cosmopolitan Manchester is at the heart of this success. Many international law firms have offices within the city and there is a strong demand for qualified lawyers in all areas of practice including corporate law.
The College of Law in Manchester is centrally located within a dynamic commercial district that has recently enjoyed extensive regeneration. The result is a district thriving with cafes and bars in a welcoming and professional atmosphere - the College itself overlooks Piccadilly Gardens, one of the largest green public spaces within the city. It is also extremely conveniently located for the city centre’s excellent retail and leisure amenities.
One of the big advantages of our location is the excellent transport infrastructure that radiates from the doorstep. In fact Piccadilly is the city’s main transport hub and there is a Metrolink stop and bus interchange directly outside the College. (On average 146 buses per hour pass through nearby Piccadilly Parker Street) Manchester’s mainline Piccadilly station and the National Express bus station are also within short walking distance.
“The Manchester legal market is extremely competitive and growing. Work that historically would have gone to the City is now being undertaken within the region. As a result, the demand for high calibre graduate trainees continues to grow and the presence of The College of Law will justifiably enhance the crop of students available in the North West.”
