The University of Law

United Kingdom

Overview

The University of Law was founded in 1962 as The College of Law of England and Wales, but its origins lie in the firm Gibson and Weldon which dates back to 1876. It gained university degree-awarding powers and changed its name in 2012. It has nine campuses in Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Guildford, Leeds, London (Bloomsbury and Moorgate), Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield as well as Berlin and Hong Kong.

It has around 8,000 students across its campuses, including international students from more than 100 countries. It is the largest provider of legal education in the UK. However, because of its size and specialist nature, it does not feature in rankings of world universities from the Times Higher Education Supplement or QS World University Rankings.
