At Birmingham City University, we believe that a balanced view makes better professionals. It’s why we don’t just teach law, we advocate it; and why we don’t just focus on professional practice, but actively break down barriers to social justice and human rights throughout the world.
From our American internships defending people on death row, to our local and national pro bono work that focuses on the vulnerable in our society. From participating in our leading Mooting Society, to practising in our purpose-built court rooms. From our links with the Birmingham Law Society and the four Inns of Court, to our collaborations with local businesses.
Our degrees go beyond boundaries. It’s why a rich mix of diverse students join us every year, and why our students stand out when they leave us.
