About University of Law (Bristol)
The University of Law Bristol is one of the UK campuses of The University of Law (ULaw), a private university that specialises in law and professional legal training. ULaw traces its roots to 1876, when the tutorial firm Gibson and Weldon was formed; it later became the College of Law, gained degree-awarding powers in 2006 and university title in 2012, and has been owned by Global University Systems since 2015. HESA 2021/22 data made it the largest provider of legal education in the UK. The Bristol campus is on Temple Way in Temple Quarter, a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads station and close to the city's main law firms and chambers. All law lecturers at the campus are qualified lawyers. Full-time courses taught in Bristol include the LLB (Hons) Law, a blended Foundation Year route, the MA Law (Conversion), the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) and the Bar Practice Course for future barristers. Students run pro bono work with the Bristol Civil and Family Justice Centre, Avon and Bristol Law Centre and St Mungo's. The university holds a Silver TEF 2023 rating with Gold for student experience, and it ranked in the UK top 10 for teaching in the National Student Survey 2024.
