Birmingham Law School

We are a research-led Law School committed to teaching of the highest quality. We regard research and teaching as inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing. We are distinctive because of:

- the quality of our staff, who are regular contributors to the academic literature and national and international policy-making processes;
- our special strength in areas like commercial law, criminal law and criminal justice, European law and international and human rights law;
-the range of modules we offer across our degree programmes

We will be hosting a LAW CONVERSION COURSE OPEN DAY on 12 JUNE 2008

The latest Guardian survey of university departments came out last month, and Birmingham Law School jumped from 9th to 7th this year. University of Birmingham has the highest rated Law School offering a Law conversion programme for graduate students.

You don’t have to do a 3 year degree to complete the academic stage of legal training required before you can train as a solicitor or barrister. This can be fulfilled by taking the one-year Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies which will satisfy all of the academic requirements.

Before you train, you need to get the best academic grounding, and Birmingham is one of only two “redbrick” universities to offer it to graduate students. You will be taught in small groups by expert academics in the Law School building right next to the University Clock Tower at the heart of our green campus.
