University of Law

College of Law granted new title

The College of Law has been granted university title, and will be known as the University of Law.

It has held degree-awarding powers since 2006, and trains more than 7,000 students each year on eight campuses as well as offering online courses.

Professor Nigel Savage, chief executive, says: “Our students gain world-class, transferable skills, knowledge and qualifications that enhance their CVs and increase their attractiveness to future employers. Having a university title will give further credibility to that.”
