The University of Law is the successor to the long established College of Law, known for post-graduate professional legal training. The University will give you a competent law degree. However it is not a well regarded university. More to the point you will not have a university experience as most 18 year olds will understand it. It has no halls of residence, no social facilities, few clubs and societies and no-one who isn't reading law. It is not experience broadening and as it has trained generations of lawyers, we all know what it is like.

St Mary's Twickenham has not reputation in law whatsoever. Indeed I think 2014 will be the first year. It has jumped on law as a cash cow.

Middlesex or East London would both be a FAR better choice for the same UCAS points as St Marys. Or you could think about retakes and aim much higher.

Which is better?

Hi,

There are lots or great reasons to choose Law at St Mary's!

The programme was launched in 2012 and is already receiving lots of investment, such as new Library resources. The course is delivered by a small and dedicated team of academics, with the majority having qualified either as a Barrister or Solicitor.

There are lots of interesting module options, such as the 'Work Based Learning for Law' module, which allows students to participate in a work placement. There's also opportunities to volunteer with local organisations.

If you have any specific questions or if there is anything else we can help with please send us a message.
