Why study Law at UCL?
UCL Laws is one of the world’s leading law departments and top in London (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021). Our students are taught by distinguished academics; cutting-edge researchers in their diverse fields. There are frequent visits from leading judges and lawyers, as well as easy access to the Supreme Court, Old Bailey and London’s wide variety of academic resources. Please note that all of our affiliate places are taken by students selected by our partner institutions under a reciprocal exchange or Erasmus agreement. We are unable to accept applications outside of these arrangements.
What you will gain from study at UCL
You will be encouraged to develop a critical awareness of how the law works and how it may be changed, to sharpen your powers of reasoning and develop a technical expertise. Emphasis is placed on small-group teaching, where you will benefit from individual attention and advice.
Teaching and assessment
You will be taught through a combination of lectures and/or seminars and/or tutorials. Most modules are assessed by either unseen examination or assessed essays, or a combination of both.
Modules in Law
