meet your faculty Our world-class academic staff

We are the UK’s longest-established law school with more than 100 years of experience. We teach real world business skills too.

With input from a range of employers, we incorporate realistic law and business scenarios into our teaching to make your learning experience authentic. Our teaching staff are law and business professionals with extensive practical experience, which we believe gives you a distinct advantage in the competitive marketplace. Our business lecturers have all been business leaders.

We have a team of more than 250 academic coaches and lecturers, each with a professional qualification in law or business, leading classes across our campuses and online. Our established learning methodology focuses on the knowledge and practical skills proven to develop a successful career.

You’ll be assigned an academic coach to mentor you through your studies, contactable throughout your course and available to discuss your progress with you.

We specialise in teaching, not research, which we think allows us to develop highly effective courses that are endorsed by employers and allows our world-class teaching staff to deliver the high-quality education we pride ourselves on.
