The University of Law Reviews 

Overall great open day just a shame we were nearly 1hour late starting making it a bit rushed but we were still able to get all the info we needed

Great University,
Delivering world class education.Having been to business school in U-Law(Birmingham campus)I am contented with everything I received on skills,culture and general knowledge .
Thank you U-Law.

Avoid paying upfront with this institution unless you're prepared for a fight to get your money back.

I placed an order in March 2026 totalling £1,645.21 for an SQE course and study manuals. cancelled my enrolment shortly after, within the 14 day cooling off period, and the manuals were never even delivered despite paying for insured tracked shipping. Since then it has been nothing but excuse after excuse. On multiple occasions I was told the refund had been "raised with Finance" and would land within 28 working days. Each time, nothing happened.

I have been chasing weekly for months with no real response. In my last email I made clear I wanted to formally complain. Their reply? Just that they'd copied me into an internal email and I "should hear back shortly." Shortly? What does that even mean. No acknowledgement of the complaint, no named person taking responsibility, no payment date.

Nearly three months later, I am still owed £1,645.21 of my own money, and it is now actively stopping me from enrolling on a course elsewhere. If you want your money back from this place, be prepared to chase it relentlessly yourself, because nobody internally seems to care enough to do it for you.

I did the SQE1 course in 2022 at the University of Law and it was terrible. The tutors had no idea about the format of the exam and the nature of the multiple choice questions, and they were very open about this.

It was taught like the LPC, with longwinded textbooks containing irrelevant information, and essay questions discussed during tutorials. They set us up to fail.

3 and a half years on and I am now trying to enrol as a solicitor. My application has been stalled for weeks as the university have not validated my degree. Student Records have not responded to any of my emails and they do not have a direct line so you cannot speak with anyone in the department. This is preventing me moving into my new job role. They are truly a shambles.

I applied for the MSc Marketing with Professional Practice program and received an unconditional offer from The University of Law. Following the university's instructions, I paid £8,000 towards my tuition fees.

During the visa process, I was advised to obtain a priority visa service. However, this service was not available to me. When I informed the university about the situation, I was later advised to proceed with a standard visa application instead. Despite following their guidance and keeping them informed, my application was subsequently withdrawn.

The most disappointing part of my experience has been the handling of my refund. It has been almost two months since my application was withdrawn, yet I have still not received my tuition fee refund. While the finance team has recently acknowledged my refund request, the process has been extremely slow and there has been very little proactive communication regarding timelines or progress.

As an international student, I have also incurred significant additional costs throughout this process, amounting to approximately £2,000, which has resulted in a substantial financial loss.

I understand that universities have procedures and policies to follow, but clearer communication, better support for international applicants, and a more efficient refund process would have made a significant difference to my experience.

Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this institution to prospective international students who require timely communication and transparent administrative support.

I didn't even start yet my course but the University 9f Law is fabulous!!!! ✨️ by giving me mportant information I need it !!! They are a professional !!!! And the Best in England!!!!

A well organised online course. Excellent resources available (and lots of extras). I was challenged and my understanding was certainly broadened alongside skill development.
On the whole the team were knowledgeable, helpful and passionate.
The introductory information was accurate about workload and commitment!

EDIT: That doesn’t answer the complaint, Rachelle, the university’s student finance team is getting vulnerable people caught up in contract through deception and then employing coercive tactics during an appeals process. Replying that they’ll respond to the appeal soon publicly shows the full lack of empathy one can expect to see if they join as a student.

Further to my review in April, my complaint regarding student finance department has gone to formal stage. Student finance have repeatedly chased me for that same money since and I have sent multiple emails explaining the situation to them. Today I received an email stating because I haven’t replied if I don’t pay or contact them in the next 7 days (I’ve been emailing them!), the full amount will be owed immediately.

I will not receive a reply to my complaint prior to this deadline, and the student finance department are aware of it. I don’t appreciate disgusting coersive or manipulation tactics towards myself as a disabled and vulnerable individual - which they are aware of. The entire complaint is about previous manipulation on the student finance departments behalf.

It was convenient and specially with the help of staff it made it more easy.

My experience with the university administration was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I ended up facing serious issues with my exam due to incorrect information given to me by university staff, yet when I tried to resolve the situation, I was constantly passed between departments with no clear answers or proper support.

As an international student, the lack of urgency and clarity was especially alarming because my visa status depended on the issue being resolved. I was repeatedly given false reassurance that everything would be sorted, while weeks and months passed with no progress. The situation dragged on until just days before my student visa expired, and it was only at the very last minute that my issue was finally resolved, allowing me to apply for my post-graduate visa in time.

No student should have to experience that level of stress due to administrative failures and poor communication. Overall, I found the university staff extremely unhelpful, disorganised, and lacking accountability, particularly when it came to supporting international students.

My experience was too good. Thank you ulaw. M grateful to be a part of your university.

Cancelled the LLM (SQE 1 & 2) course in Reading shortly before the beginning of term leading me to do it online. Was a significant inconvenience and was only informed via email and minimal explanation was given. Staff were helpful and the SQE1 materials were great, the SQE2 materials were useful with albeit limited examples (arguably a mix between ULaw and lack of SRA information). The SQE Plus was intense immediately after the SQE exams which was unexpected. Overall the teaching is good but the administration is poor - if you ever need anything changing or sorted it leaves a significant amount to be desired...

I had a great time studying there, the seminars were amazing and informative.

Everything was so easy to do, the staff is very helpful, the only thing I suffered from was transferring from Birmingham campus to Moorgate one. Also, I received a very good guidance in how to do the assignment when I requested that, I wished to gain these information in the induction or onboarding session.

My journey with the University of Law was both rewarding and fulfilling. From the amazing administrators to the knowledgeable lecturers, my time with ULaw has been incredible. I am sad that it’s at an end.

Professors teaching method was pretty awesome.

If I could rate less than 1 star I would.

As a disabled student I have found the treatment of ULaw to be deeply dehumanising.

I am now in the process of litigation and hope my case may well help others avoid the experiences, including harm that I have had to face.

It is also worth noting that the University legal team appointed a mediator for mediation without disclosing a conflict of interests. Only two find out the mediator had infact studied at that very campus.

Via the Voice and a community hub The Westminster Hub- I have left a more detailed account of the barriers applied towards ranging from the admin attitude on day 1 at this establishment, the disability reasonable adjustments failures, the mediation experience that quite literally minimised discrimination to being an admin error, and the next steps I am taking under a human rights and equality act claim.

Similar to Melissa’s experience it is very clear that there are disproportionate barriers, exclusion towards marginalised groups that Ulaw seems to disregard and minimise.

As an international law graduate, my experience with has been incredibly disappointing from an administrative standpoint. Emails often went unanswered unless I called internationally from Canada just to get a response.

For an institution that charges substantial tuition fees — especially to international students — the level of administrative support has been shockingly poor. It often felt as though I was forgotten unless I persistently followed up myself.

Academically, there are good lecturers and valuable opportunities, but the administration seriously undermines the student experience. ULaw urgently needs a more efficient, transparent, and responsive support system, particularly for international students navigating professional accreditation processes abroad.

I graduated from my LLB and returned to Canada. The experience was exceptional - I met lifelong friends and the exposure to law firms was life-changing.

Postgraduate degree with ULaw as a Home/UK student. I spent a considerable amount of time navigating and trying to figure out what I should be doing instead of studying - a lot of others on my course share this same view.

Poor admin, disorganised platform and have never felt more lost attending an institution. Their processes are not the most efficient and straight forward.

Furthermore, despite being advertised as a part-time course, most live sessions are during work hours. A large majority of the cohort work full time. The only time they are reliable and on-point is when it comes to chasing for fees (which is extortionate for a fully online course that is recycling videos/ materials from >10 years ago.)

The institution is clearly not designed to genuinely support you and is instead very transactional. Makes me very appreciative of my previous university institutions.
