Middle Eastern students at Birmingham Law School

Not only does a University of Birmingham degree carry great international significance, but the university also has an impressive network of alumni and professional relations. Birmingham Law School's Centre for Professional Legal Education and Research (CEPLER) provides mooting and advocacy experience as well as the chance to get involved with Pro Bono work. We regularly welcome notable legal professionals to our campus to talk with our students, such as Baronness Hale, former President of the Supreme Court, and the Honourable Chief Justice, Geoffery Ma.

At Birmingham Law School, we are proud to offer a range of scholarships to support you in studying any of our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

• LLB International Scholarship (undergraduate)
• Harding International Legal Scholarship (postgraduate)
• Country-specific Scholarships (undergraduate and postgraduate)

All of the law degrees offer by Birmingham Law School on our Edgbaston campus are fully-accredited UK law degrees. Our degrees therefore allow you to progress your legal career in becoming a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. All across the world, many countries utilise the English Common Law system which means that you may be able to seek employment across the globe and have a deep understanding of the legal practices. The University of Birmingham Dubai's law degrees are being reviewed for accreditation by the UAE's Ministry of Education as we continue to challenge students to reach their highest potential. 

The above information is for guidance purposes. We recommend that students carry out their own research and check with the legal associations in the jurisdictions they wish to practise in for the most up-to-date information as the regulations may change. 

As a Birmingham Law School student, you will benefit from our Centre for Professional Legal Education and Research, which offers a range of opportunities to increase your experience of law in action and enhance your employability, including International Law Careers Week. These feature a variety of invaluable events to provide guidance on legal careers and ensure that students are fully informed about the career options that are available to them.
