Our intellectually demanding, the research-informed curriculum is delivered by academics who are leaders in their fields. As a Russell Group university, and a top 3 UK law school for legal research excellence (REF 2021), our academics are leading the way in diverse areas of legal research. It is this combination of teaching and research excellence that sees our graduates stand outgoing on to shape and inform policy and legislation around the world and across many sectors.

The knowledge and expertise of our academics inform our distinctive and exciting range of LLMs with programmes including the LLM International Law, LLM Banking and Finance, LLM Health, Law and Society, LLM in Human Rights Law, LLM in Employment, Work and Equality and many more to choose from.

Tailor your own degree
The pioneering research of our academics has also influenced a diverse range of optional modules that enable you to tailor your own degree. The LLM Law and Globalisation, for instance, offers modules ranging from IT law, IP Law and Environmental Law to Criminal Law and Criminal Justice – making it a popular choice for both international and home students.

Exciting opportunities for non-law graduates

Our facilities

Live and learn in great facilities, an exciting UK city and the largest legal centre outside London
The Law School facilities provide the very best blend of tradition and innovation. Much of the teaching is based in the iconic Wills Memorial Building at the heart of Bristol, with its gothic tower, Harry Potter-esque great hall and library - and gargoyle framed windows of its lecture halls. Across the road in Berkeley Square is another historic building, recently refurbished to house modern research suites, seminar and tutor rooms and a state-of-the-art moot court where you can also test out your debating and negotiating skills. Bristol itself is a vibrant, culturally diverse city, small enough to feel warm and friendly, but big enough to provide outstanding extracurricular opportunities, including a host of clubs, sporting activities and community and volunteering groups.

Choose Bristol and do more with the law than you ever imagined possible.
