INNOVATIVE LEARNING FROM THE BEST

WE SPECIALISE IN TEACHING, NOT RESEARCH. WE FOCUS OUR ENERGY ON DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS, ALL ENDORSED BY EMPLOYERS. Study with us and you’ll benefit from a proven and successful teaching methodology. Our teaching is delivered by professionally qualified tutors and focuses on the knowledge and practical skills needed to be successful. These skills include problem solving, oral and written communication, team work and ethical conduct. We keep our teaching interesting, and our students regularly give feedback on the excellent quality and style. You can expect a combination of workshops and lectures, with materials including case studies which you’ll explore in small groups. Because we work closely with employers, we ensure that it’s all presented in a commercial context where you’re taught to deliver client-focused advice. You’ll be given the opportunity to practise these skills in real-life scenarios and you’ll receive regular constructive feedback.

Our 250+ team of tutors, visiting professors and visiting lecturers are qualified solicitors, barristers or judges with extensive practical experience – and, most importantly, share a passion both for law and teaching. Many still practise, which means you’ll learn from their insight into today’s legal world. Each student has a personal tutor providing one-to-one ongoing support, as well as advice on starting working life, whether in law or another discipline. As resident tutors are based in our centres, they operate an open door policy, so you can talk to them whenever you need.
