School of Law

We enjoy strong links with local law firms, legal professionals, barristers chambers and business and community groups. Each year we host the Oxford Brookes Law Fair – an extremely valuable networking event attended by local law students and potential employers, many of whom will be able to offer training contracts to promising candidates.

Our pro bono scheme, mooting and client interviewing teams perform consistently well at both national and international levels, offering our students that legal experience and insight so highly valued by employers. The study of Law is seen as a good general qualification, and our Law students undertake many career paths. We have Specialist Careers Counsellors in our Careers Centre who organise activities and support from mock interviews and workshops, through to help with applications and even psychometric testing.

The long-established and thriving Oxford Brookes Student Law Society organises a variety of events such as the Annual Christmas Ball, visits to the Old Bailey and the Royal Courts of Justice, trips to the European Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, along with talks from leading lawyers and others.

Whether you plan to qualify as a lawyer or use your law qualification as a stepping stone to another career, the law programmes at Oxford Brookes offer academic excellence, a very engaging and supportive environment, and the opportunity to gain practical skills and experience that will enhance your employability.
