We achieved a satisfaction rating of 78% among our students in the 2022 National Student Survey (NSS).
You are joining the Law School at an exciting point in time. We have occupied our purpose built and state of the art premises since 2012 and have expanded our staff in order to be able to offer a wider range of optional modules than ever before. We are committed to providing not only an excellent environment in which to engage with and research the foundational law subjects, but also to offering a degree programme which is diverse and innovative in terms of both content and teaching methods. Alongside your studies, you will have the opportunity to engage in a growing number of extra-curricular activities led by law students - including mooting and working on a range of pro bono activities - and will benefit from our close relationships with a range of leading employers. In short, we aim to provide a supportive environment in which our students can flourish academically and personally.
