University of Westminster School of Law

The unique practical orientation of our Masters courses and our close proximity to and relationships with key organisations are reasons why our graduates have an exceptional track record in gaining relevant employment in international law firms, multinational companies, international and European institutions, top universities and national government agencies.
All of our postgraduate Masters courses are orientated to the world of practice in their areas. Many, like the Corporate Finance Law LLM have substantial input from industry, based in world centres of excellence like the City of London. Most are also linked to centres of excellence built on our research expertise. Academics teaching these courses are active researchers in our research centres. For example, the International Law LLM is linked with the Centre for International Law and Theory and the Entertainment Law LLM is linked with the Centre for Law and Popular Culture.

The University of Westminster boasts a vibrant learning environment attracting more than 20,000 students from over 150 nations and we continue to invest in our future with new developments, research projects and new ideas.
We offer highly attractive practice-based courses which are independently rated as excellent, many with international recognition. Our distinguished 175-year history has meant we lead the way in many areas of research, particularly politics, media, art and design, architecture and biomedical sciences, and our position in the city of London allows us to continue to build on our close connections with leading figures and organisations in these areas as well as in the worlds of business, information technology, politics and law.
Our commitment to educating graduates for the needs of professional life attracts high quality students from within the UK and around the globe.
Internationalisation, employability and sustainability are key elements in the University of Westminster's vision for the future and we strive to ensure the very highest standards are met and maintained.
