Birkbeck Law School

Our staff are passionate about research-led teaching and are committed to providing you with the encouragement and support you need to realise your potential.

The Birkbeck Law School has a strong critical approach to legal research and this was recognised by REF2021, with most of our publications described as of world-leading standard.

Our academic staff are internationally recognised authorities in their fields, delivering stimulating and relevant teaching programmes.

Solicitors' firms and barristers' chambers are actively looking for evidence of commitment to a career in the law, so we offer mooting events and mock trials for our students.

Throughout our short but eventful history, we have established ourselves as inclusive and high achieving.
