Alongside teaching and assessing on the BPC and our wider vocational programmes, there are opportunities to contribute to the delivery of Professional Development courses for practitioners, design and assess on our CILeX programme, and, as the sole provider of the Higher Rights qualification, play a key role in Higher Rights assessment design and assessment.
At ULaw, we are committed to supporting your development into an outstanding lecturer. Following successful completion of probation, you will be enrolled onto our Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) and supported to achieve Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). For solicitors without Higher Rights of Audience, we also offer the opportunity to obtain this qualification. For those with an interest in scholarship, there is scope to help shape and strengthen our research culture, with research time release available to pursue research activity and publish work of relevance to both the legal profession and academia.
Our academic standards are reflected in our strong performance in the Bar Standards Board’s centralised assessments. The Bar Standards Board rank the results for each provider’s campuses following each centralised assessment point. In the most recently reported results (April 2025), The University of Law held the top-performing campus ranking for Criminal Litigation and the second highest-ranking campus for Civil Litigation, with four of the top six positions achieved across both litigation assessments.
Our delivery model operates on a 5-over-7-day working pattern, which may include evenings and weekends, reflecting the flexible way our students learn.
