Hi!
Although I do not study law at LJMU, I can say it is a great university to attend for a law degree! Have you looked into visiting Open Days or Applicant Days?
Visit the page here. As someone who studied English at LJMU and had an amazing experience, I can share some insights into the Law program that might help you make your decision.
I would also suggest visiting the Unibuddy page where you can chat to current Law students at LJMU to hear their opinions and ask them questions directly. Click to follow the

Practical Experience from Year OneOne standout feature of LJMU's Law program is the opportunity to engage in real legal work early in your studies. From the second semester of your first year, you can participate in the university's award-winning Legal Advice Centre. This center has provided over £0.6 million worth of free legal advice to the local community since 2014, assisting more than 500 clients. You'll have the chance to attend solicitor-client interviews and contribute to pro bono services in areas like family law, civil litigation, and wills.
High-Quality TeachingThe Law program at LJMU is delivered by supportive and highly qualified legal professionals and academics. In the 2024 National Student Survey, 95% of students surveyed said the teaching staff were good at explaining things.
Active Student Law SocietyLJMU boasts a highly active Student Law Society, providing numerous opportunities for networking, skill development, and socializing. Engaging with the society can enhance your university experience and help you build valuable connections within the legal field.
Placement OpportunitiesThe program offers a sandwich year option, allowing you to undertake a year-long work placement in the UK or overseas. This experience can be invaluable in applying your knowledge in real-world settings and enhancing your employability upon graduation.
Support Through Court SchemeIn your final year, there are opportunities to work on the Support Through Court scheme at the Liverpool Civil & Family Justice Centre. This exclusive partnership provides practical experience in supporting individuals through the court process, further enriching your understanding of the legal system.
