Merger of School of Law and School of Social Sciences (SoSS)
On 1 August 2019, the Schools of Law and Social Sciences merged to become the new School of Social Sciences.
Following feedback from staff and students about the importance of retaining a Law School identity, it was agreed that 'The University of Manchester Law School' could only be used for branding and external relationship reasons for clarity with students and external stakeholders.
