Although it may feel as though London is an expensive place to live as a student, in fact there are so many opportunities for part-time work that it can be easier to manage by comparison with other parts of the UK. There are also lots of interesting places to go which are free or offer student rates, and plenty of cheap places to eat.
Academic Profiles
The academic programmes offered by The City Law School are located close to the legal heart of London and within walking distance of the Royal Courts of Justice, the Inns of Court and the Central Criminal Court.

We also offer 40 places each year to well qualified non-law graduates to take a two year graduate entry LLB (Hons) degree. These programmes are recognised by the Bar Council and the Law Society of England and Wales.
The School also offers a distinctive portfolio of taught LLM programmes, including an LLM in International Commercial Law, with specialisation options in Competition Law, Maritime Law and Banking and Finance Law, and an LLM in Criminal Litigation.
