welcome to GUILDFORD
Guildford is a historic market town in the south east of England, within easy reach of London. Our Guildford campus is set within 23 acres of beautiful parkland.
About Guildford
Guildford is one of the most popular places in the South of England for pubs, restaurants, bars and clubbing. There are two excellent theatres and an Odeon cinema, as well as a large leisure centre and state of the art sports complex, Surrey Sports Park. Guildford is a bustling, student-friendly town with a diverse range of eateries that cater to all tastes. All this is surrounded by Surrey's area of outstanding natural beauty.
Our law school is easily accessible by public transport or car, and just a 20 minute walk to Guildford’s train station and the town centre. What sets this campus apart is its history, the green spaces and walking trails that surround it.
Our Guildford campus library has an extensive collection of legal study books organised by practice area. The spacious environment allows for group work and provides access to all the resources and legal books you’ll need throughout your studies. The campus’ workshop rooms are laid out to facilitate collaborative group learning and smaller classes mean more student-tutor interaction time and opportunities to bounce ideas off your fellow students.
The campus’ café is a nice place to take a break between classes, eat and socialise. Whilst the front lawn, with its stunning views, acts as a relaxing place for you to spend time with friends in warmer weather. You will have the opportunity to get involved in sporting and social activities at our Guildford campus and have the option to start a society yourself.
The campus’ employability team are always on-hand to help you by providing careers advice, interview practice and information on networking events with local firms and businesses that you may be able to get work experience or pro bono opportunities with.
At Guildford, our tutors and staff are dedicated to helping you achieve your education and career ambitions. If you’re studying law with us, you will be able to benefit from our tutors’ experience as over 90% of them are qualified lawyers.
