With a fine heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, the University of Law continuously focuses on developing the best legal minds.
With locations across all of the UK, including Bloomsbury and Moregate in London, it is one of the UK’s longest-established specialist providers of legal education. Its origins stretch back to 1876 when leading tutorial firm Gibson & Weldon was formed.
Formerly the College of Law, it is a private university which offers law degrees, specialist legal training, and continuing professional development courses for British barristers and solicitors. Founded in 1962, it is the UK’s largest law school and was granted degree-awarding powers in 2006, before becoming the UK’s first for-profit educational institution to be granted university status in 2012. It has eight branches across England.
The College of Law had been incorporated by royal charter as a charity in 1975, but in 2012, prior to the granting of university status, its educational and training business was split off and incorporated as a private limited company. This became the College of Law Ltd and later University of Law Ltd. Shortly after the granting of university status in 2012, College of Law Ltd was bought by Montagu Private Equity. Three years later Montagu sold the University of Law to its present owner, the Netherlands-based company Global University Systems.
What sets it apart from other universities is the guiding principle that the current and future lawyers it teaches should only ever learn in a realistic, professional and contemporary context with the benefit of practical and interactive engagement. Teaching groups are small but lengthy, allowing for more interaction and speedier development.
The courses, from undergraduate law degrees to postgraduate courses and professional development programmes, are designed to equip lawyers with the skills to compete in the ever-changing world of legal services. With a focus on developing skills in problem-solving, weighing up arguments, critical thinking, and commercial awareness, the University of Law’s programmes are designed to prepare students for real-life challenges.
Our undergraduate business degree courses include the option of a Placement Year in employment. Taking place in the 3rd year of a 4-year degree, you’ll have the opportunity to find paid work, putting the learning of your first 2 years into practice to develop and enhance real world skills to launch your career.
Throughout your Placement, you will receive support and guidance from a Placement Coach who will review your progress and development. You will also have two preparatory workshops in your second year to help prepare you for the placement year.
The University of Law is one of the UK's longest-established specialist providers of legal education. Its origins can be traced back to 1876 with the formation of the leading tutorial firm Gibson & Weldon, and later on, with the establishment of The Law Society School of Law. In 1962 the two were amalgamated to establish The College of Law. UoL were the first-ever independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers and not long after, in 2012 they gained university title.
The University is at the heart of legal education as the acknowledged leader in innovative, professional legal education for prospective lawyers and professional development training for those already qualified. Over the years, we have worked with virtually every UK law firm to help meet their training and development needs, with many firms sending their trainees exclusively to us.
We made history in 2006 by becoming the first independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers by the Privy Council, leading to the development of our professionally-focused Bachelor and Master of Laws degree programmes.
With a rich heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, we continuously focus on developing the best legal minds.
