BACKGROUND
The University of Law is one of the UK’s longest established specialist providers of legal education. The University can trace its origins 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. The University was the first ever independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers, gaining university title (The University of Law) in 2012. The University was bought by Global University Systems (GUS) in 2015, and is a private University. The University has more than 10,000 students, and employs circa 800 staff and a number of visiting lecturers. The University of Law’s estate covers 14 locations across the UK and Hong Kong comprising of nine distinct campuses in eight UK cites, with a GIA of over 60,000sqm and a further four satellite operations based within other University campuses across England. The University is also expanding abroad, recently having opened a campus in Hong Kong and currently exploring options for a campus in Amsterdam. The Estate operates with a working budget of £3.5m, with a further £2m for planned projects (excluding major projects such as new campuses).
