With a rich heritage and a reputation for innovation and contemporary teaching practices, we continuously focus on developing the best legal and business minds.

We are the largest provider of legal education, with more law students choosing us than any other UK university in 2023 (HESA 2022/23). What really sets us apart is the guiding principle that future lawyers and business leaders should learn in a realistic, professional and contemporary context, with plenty of practical interactive engagement. That's why we keep our contact hours high and our teaching groups small.

All of our courses – from our undergraduate law degrees to our diverse range of business courses and postgraduate programmes – are designed with a unique, varied and innovative learning approach proven to deliver self-reliant professionals who can compete in the fast changing professional world.

Our track record of excellence in learning and development has helped us establish worldwide connections within the legal and business industries. We provide legal training for 90 of the top 100 law firms in the UK and exclusively deliver SQE training for over 65 leading UK and US law firms.

More than 400 of our lecturers are qualified lawyers and business professionals, and all have extensive practical experience which they are able to pass on to our students. We facilitate this process with high levels of student-to-lecturer contact time and small class sizes - one of the reasons that many firms insist their trainees study with us.

We focus exclusively on practice-based training and give students access to our expert Careers and Employability service database as soon as they accept a place with us. Students also benefit from our pioneering and award-winning pro bono programmes, which allow them to gain valuable work experience by helping real clients from the local community.

One of the worst university in terms of SQE 1 preparation

One of the worst university in terms of SQE 1 preparation. Expensive course and shit service is their quality. Does not try to understand the perspective and difficulties faced by students. Just opened the univesity to make money from students. Please do not use them for SQE instead find cheaper options suitable to your needs. Their face to face classes are joke just waste your time to show that they provide quality education. In additoin, they give their sqe portal access for 3 attempts/ for 1.5 years which means that you have to take sqe 1 attempts back to back. They do not care if someone has funds to take second attempt or not. However, if you take LLM SQE so then you have 5 years access to their Elite app/sqe app. Simply pushing and undue promotion of LLM to students. Would never recommend University of Law to anyone.

I thought

I thought, I will get a global exposer but it seems like a Asia exposer that I am receiving. When it comes to classroom, everyone sets with their local people and talk with their own language. If I try to talk in English , they just ignore me. In some courses, university should focus on more such as Data analytics for Business, this course cannot be completed with 9 classes. I got only one class for machine learning. If university cannot give us time then they should give us the access to some online course in online platforms, namely, udemy and coursera.

I had a very disappointing experience…


I had a very disappointing experience with the admissions and finance process at this university.
After my case was cancelled, it has been over 50 days and my refund was not processed. Despite submitting all required documents promptly, the process has been unnecessarily delayed due to repeated and piecemeal requests for additional documents. Each time, I was asked to wait another week, which caused significant inconvenience.

What is more concerning is the lack of transparency. Important information regarding visa challenges for Pakistani students was not communicated at the beginning of the process, which led to avoidable complications and financial stress (A handsome amount of money deducted due to high taxes).
The overall handling of my case has been inefficient and unprofessional. Delays in refunding funds are not just administrative issues—they directly impact students’ academic plans and financial stability.

Where Guidance, Excellence and Convenience Come Together....

The application process was very quick and clear, and every time I had a question, even from my home country, the staff always helped and guided me throughout the whole process. Since arriving, I have found the staff and lecturers to be very helpful and supportive, with all lecturers giving their best effort to ensure students are well supported in their studies. The university is located in Manchester city centre, which is very convenient and easily accessible by all types of public transport.

A Disappointing Journey: Gaps in Learning, Diversity, and Campus Life

To be honest, my experience so far with The University of Law has not been very satisfying. As an international student coming abroad, I had certain expectations, especially around diversity and cultural exchange. I was really looking forward to meeting people from different countries and backgrounds. However, in reality, most of my class is made up of students from one or two countries, mostly from one single nation. While there is nothing wrong with that, they tend to stay within their own groups and don’t interact much with others. Ironically, I feel like my Hindi has improved more than my English since coming here.

When it comes to the courses, the experience has been quite challenging in a negative way. It often feels like we are thrown into the middle of the ocean and expected to swim to shore on our own, without proper guidance or direction. Coming from a business background, being expected to learn coding mostly through YouTube or third-party resources is disappointing. This is not what international students pay such high tuition fees for. The PEC model they follow does not feel effective; it lacks hands-on learning, clarity, and proper instructional support.

The assignments are another major concern, which is the most important part of our education journey. We are expected to produce highly detailed, in-depth, and well-presented work, all within a strict 2,500-word limit. Trying to fit complex analysis, data, and presentation into such a limited word count feels unrealistic. It often feels like trying to compress everything into a very small space while still maintaining professionalism and quality, which is extremely difficult.

In terms of campus life, while the facilities are decent for a city like London, the overall student experience feels lacking. Classes are organised, and the reception is helpful, but there are very limited seating areas and almost no social or recreational spaces. There are no cultural programs, interactive forums, or student activities. It feels like we just come to class and then leave; there’s no sense of community or opportunity to create memories. If someone asked me about my campus life after graduation, I honestly feel like I would have very little to share.

Another issue I’ve noticed is poor maintenance, particularly in the toilets. The flush systems often don’t work properly, water gets clogged, and hygiene is not maintained well. Most concerning is that for the past three months, there have been no tissues available in any of the toilets, both male and female. This is quite disappointing and reflects a lack of basic facility management.

Studying is, of course, important, but it’s not the only reason students choose to study abroad. We come here to grow as individuals, build networks, experience new cultures, and explore new opportunities. Unfortunately, my experience so far has not lived up to those expectations.

Overall, I believe the university needs significant improvements across multiple areas to meet the standards expected by international students.

My experience with the University of…

My experience with the University of Law has been extremely disappointing and frustrating from start to finish. I completed all required interviews and even paid the full tuition fees, trusting that everything was in order. However, at the very last moment, they refused to issue my CAS letter without giving any clear or reasonable explanation.

What followed was even worse. I applied for a refund, and it took them four long months to return my money. During that time, I had to send emails almost every single day and even escalate the matter by filing complaints with higher authorities. Only after constant pressure did they finally process my refund.

On top of that, due to exchange rate fluctuations, I ended up losing around ₹30,000 INR from the original amount I had paid. This financial loss, combined with the stress and uncertainty they caused, made the entire experience unacceptable.

The staff seemed unhelpful, unresponsive, and poorly informed. It often felt like they didn’t know how to handle student cases properly, which only added to the frustration.

In contrast, after applying to another university, I received my CAS letter promptly after the interview and even got my visa approved within just two days — which clearly shows how inefficient and disorganized this university is.

Overall, this institution wasted my time, money, and energy. I strongly do not recommend applying here. If you value professionalism, transparency, and timely communication, you should seriously consider other options.

Unreliable admissions process-beware

Unreliable admissions process-beware
I cannot recommend this university based on my recent experience. I held an unconditional offer and had already paid initial deposit of 8000GBP, yet my offer was withdrawn without any justification.
The stress and wasted effort involved in this process have been immense. If you are looking for a stable and professional admissions process, look elsewhere. A university should honor its commitments once an unconditional offer is made and paid for.

Refund Delay and CAS Withdrawal Experience

I applied and completed my visa process, including biometrics. However, my CAS was withdrawn at a later stage, and my admission was cancelled.

While I understand such decisions may be part of internal procedures, the refund process has been very slow. It has been over 3 months, and only the health insurance amount has been refunded so far.

This delay has been frustrating, and clearer communication regarding refund timelines would greatly help future applicants.

I applied for the January 2025 intake

I applied for the January 2025 intake, but unfortunately the university withdrew my CAS before the enrollment date without proper support or clear communication. I submitted a refund request almost three months ago, and I still haven’t received it.

The response from the university has been very slow and disappointing throughout the process. Based on my experience, I would not recommend applying here, as the handling of student concerns and refunds has been very poor.

To be honest I’ve had a challenging

To be honest I’ve had a challenging experience which tasked my mental capabilities particularly when I had to resist for my compliance interview couple of times it was really a challenging task for me which is very good I mean the origination of the compliance interview was a very nice idea because most aspiring students might not what’s coming for them and might not know much about their course of study so compliance interview is a clue where you get to know more about your course and all. So apart from that the other processes has been a nice experience for me and I can’t wait to gain more knowledge from ULAW to fulfill my career prospects. I really appreciate the ULAW it was a wonderful experience for me.

Very bad and disappointed

I completed all required steps, obtained my CAS, and applied for my visa within two days. However, while my visa decision from UKVI was still pending, the university suddenly withdrew my CAS. This decision has caused serious disruption to my study plans and resulted in financial and time loss. If the university intended to withdraw the CAS, it should not have been issued in the first place, as this prevented me from applying to other universities.
