UK Law School Rankings

Prestigious law firms may only consider graduates of the best universities in the UK but other universities may have particularly high graduate employment prospects. Postgraduate students should note that Law School rankings are based on information about undergraduate courses, so may not directly reflect the position of an LLM degree. However, UK Law School subject rankings will give an impression of the university’s reputation, strength of the law department, and student satisfaction of the teaching and course.

The UK Law School rankings below are taken from the Guardian University Guide 2020 which takes information from the National Student Survey to rank universities in a number of categories. These include law student satisfaction of the course overall, satisfaction of teaching, satisfaction of feedback and assessment, staff-student ratio, money spent on each law student, average entry qualifications achieved by law students, and the percentage of law graduates who are employed within six months of graduation (graduate employability).
