At Northumbria Law School, we are at the forefront of legal research, practice and education. Responding to new technologies, reacting to social change, answering environmental challenges, or exploring outer space, we prepare our students to deliver justice in a rapidly changing world. 

We’re the biggest law school in the Northeast and known across the UK and beyond for our hands-on, future-focused approach. Based in a £70 million city centre facility with a mock courtroom and a specialist law library, you’ll learn in a space built for aspiring legal professionals.

REAL-WORLD LEGAL EXPERIENCE

Here, learning goes way beyond textbooks. Our award-winning Student Law Office gives students the chance to practice law before you graduate, while helping real people, businesses and community groups with free legal advice. Our students also get to take part in simulations, advocate in courtrooms, go on placements, and work on collaborative research.   

Our innovative courses cover everything from the foundations of law to cutting-edge areas like cyber law and space law. Whether you want to be a solicitor, barrister, legal advisor – or you’re still figuring it out – we’ll help you find your path with flexible options that suit you.  

LAW FOR ALL

At Northumbria, we believe law should work for everyone. That’s why we take a human-centred approach to real-world challenges like environmental issues and how new technologies shape society. You’ll be taught by experts and professionals who care about justice – and about helping you succeed, no matter your background.  

We’ll help you build confidence, gain experience, and graduate with skills employers want, whether you want to pursue a career as a legal practitioner or build your legal knowledge or develop high level transferable skills for another field. You’ll learn to think critically, communicate clearly, and stand up for what matters.  

We don’t just teach the law – we live it, we shape it, and we empower the next generation to use it to deliver more justice for all.
