Learn from the best

You’ll be taught by leading academics and practicing lawyers who’ll equip you with the knowledge and expertise needed to pursue a rewarding graduate career. This includes Professor Engobo Emeseh, who recently featured in the Phenomenal Women: Portraits of UK Black Female Professors research project, which celebrates the contributions and achievements of black female professors within UK higher education.

Professional accreditation

When you complete your course, you’ll graduate with more than just a law degree. The programme is accredited by both the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board – you’ll be all set to train to become a qualified solicitor or barrister and your qualification will be respected across the legal profession.
