Fantastic facilities
Nottingham Law School is based at the University’s City Campus. It’s a vibrant environment, with fantastic facilities and accommodation just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre. The majority of teaching takes place in the Chaucer building, where you’ll study in our modern lecture theatres and seminar rooms.
Law Library As well as the main University library, you will also have access to a separate resource that contains journals, textbooks, practitioner texts, reports and legislation. Authentic courtrooms We have a suite of wood-panelled courtrooms. One is set up as a civil court, and the others are full criminal courts – complete with judge’s bench, dock and witness stand, plus seating for the jury, barristers, solicitors, press and the public. You’ll use our courtrooms to practise your skills and techniques in a professional environment. Mooting rooms We recognise the importance of mooting for your future employability. This is reflected in our facilities, and we offer purpose-built mooting rooms where you can work on your research and presentation skills. Sporting facilities You’ll have access to NTU’s excellent sport and lifestyle facilities, including gyms, squash courts, sports halls and all-weather pitches, as well as almost 50 sports clubs run through our Students’ Union.
Safe and affordable accommodation All new postgraduate students are guaranteed a place in University allocated accommodation, if the room deposit is paid by the specified date. You’ll be offered a safe, secure and comfortable place to live at a competitive rate. Contracts only cover the academic year, so you won’t have to pay over the summer vacation.

Nottingham’s legal history Nottingham is home to the National Justice Museum. Formerly known as The Galleries of Justice, this popular tourist destination covers the history of crime and punishment in Britain. The museum is housed in the 18th-century Shire Hall, and contains a Victorian courtroom, gaol and police station. While it closed as a court in 1986, there had been one on the site since at least 1375. It’s no surprise there’s a connection to another of Nottingham’s famous exports: the legend of Robin Hood. For centuries, the location served as a base for the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham. Kung Yu Teoh LLM Bar Professional Training Course “I am impressed with the mock courtrooms, which look very authentic. They have provided a realistic practice experience during my studies. We have used the courtrooms for our advocacy classes and mooting competitions. The City Campus is very convenient, the library is open 24-7 and when I need a break from studying I can just walk around the city centre or head to the gym, which is just opposite the library.”
