The University of Law Business School Undergraduate

Overview:

The University of Law (ULaw) is one of the UK's longest-established specialist providers of legal education. In fact, we've trained more practising lawyers in the UK than anyone else.

And with such close links between law and business, it makes sense that a specialist in legal education is well equipped to develop an excellent business school, The University of Law Business School.

With a firm focus on practical learning, our Business School aims to make students employable and ready to succeed in the workplace. We pride ourselves on creating the right learning environment for you to achieve your business aspirations. That’s why we’ve adapted techniques used on our legal courses with the aim of developing an engaging specialist learning experience that will prepare you for a career in the world of business.

The University of Law was awarded a silver rating in the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) in June 2019. We were found to deliver high-quality teaching, learning and outcomes for our undergraduate students and consistently exceed rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education.
