St Mary’s University is a modern, friendly and welcoming university situated in the leafy borough of Richmond upon Thames and just a short train journey away from the hustle and bustle of central London.

The University was recently rated Outstanding by Ofsted and has seen significant rises in all three of the major university league tables (Good University Guide, Guardian University Guide, and Complete University Guide) and was also awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework.

With a close-knit community of students, you’ll quickly feel at home, whilst still being offered all the challenges and excitement of a rewarding student experience.

We have been building a reputation of excellence in education since being established in 1850 and, whilst being centred by key Catholic values of fairness, respect and generosity, we are of course welcoming to students of all faiths and none.

St Mary’s offers you a very supportive teaching team with additional input from expert practitioners. We take pride in our reputation as a friendly university with a community-feel, just 30 minutes from central London.

Our partnership with ICP, Paris provides you with a fantastic opportunity to study in Paris for one semester. Teaching is in English, but if you would like to develop or brush up your French language skills, St Mary's also offers French language short courses that can help prepare you if you study for a semester in Paris.

The collaboration between ICP and St Mary’s offers you a wonderful opportunity for cross-cultural learning, increasing your understanding of the English, French and EU legal systems. Academics from both institutions will teach at the other sharing specialist knowledge of their own legal system and discipline areas.

If you have not studied either English or French law before, don’t worry, the course has been designed to ensure you will receive the support and guidance to study these successfully.

If you would prefer to study in London throughout your degree, we also offer an LLM in International Business Law.

The International Business Law and International and European Business Law LLMs are part of a successful suite of law programmes at St Mary's. You will be encouraged to get involved with a variety of employability events that includes a mock trial, mooting and commercial awareness seminars.

St Mary’s location is hard to beat. The University has all the advantages of a great London location along with the peace of a beautiful self contained campus in the safe, leafy suburb of Strawberry Hill. Kingston, Richmond and central London are close by so you’ll find plenty of things to do.

With over 130 pubs, cafes and restaurants within 20 minutes of campus (TripAdvisor 2019), St Mary’s is at the heart of a vibrant social community, whilst giving you the comfort of a leafy suburban campus.

The large riverside towns of Kingston and Richmond are just a short bus ride away, and you will find a huge range of entertainment there. Cinemas, live music venues, pubs, several theatres, and a bowling alley await you, as well as an excellent range of shops, cafés and restaurants. Kingston night clubs offer special deals for St Mary’s students and you will find other discounts for students in the area.

On top of this, London is just over 30 minutes away by train from Strawberry Hill to Waterloo, giving the opportunity to take advantage of everything it has to offer from shops and entertainment to the cultural and educational benefits of access to theatres, galleries and the latest exhibitions. Public transport is frequent and runs late so it’s easy to get to and from the University.

Accommodation is available for postgraduates both in the local area and in halls of residence. Grosvenor Hall is a popular hall of residence for postgraduate students. It is located nearby, in the centre of Twickenham and is only a 15 minute walk away from the main campus. It is close to Twickenham station, offering great transport links and easy access into Central London.

There is lots of accommodation in the local area, including private halls, lodgings, and shared houses and flats. St Mary’s has an online accommodation platform called StudentPad, which is regularly updated with the details of available properties being listed for student tenants.
