About the University
The University of Law traces its origins to 1876, and was founded in its more recent form in 1962 as the College of Law of England and Wales, becoming a university in 2012. It is the UK’s largest specialist law school, and is owned by Global University Systems.
Location
The University of Law operates from multiple campuses across the UK, including a London base, alongside cities such as Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, and others, plus international locations including Berlin and Hong Kong.
What Students Can Study
The university specialises in law, alongside business, psychology, criminology, policing, and computer science, and provides postgraduate legal training and continuing professional development courses for practising barristers and solicitors. Specific course content, structure, and entry requirements vary by campus and should be checked directly with the university.
Why Students Consider This University
Students often consider the University of Law specifically for its focus on legal education and professional legal training, delivered from a network of campuses across the UK rather than a single university site.
