Five great British Universities for Canadian law students
Since 2004 we have been helping international students study law in the UK and we know that the UK is high on the list of destinations for Canadian law students.
All of our student advisors have all studied in the UK themselves so we know a thing or two about studying across the pond; here’s a great place to start looking for British universities for Canadian law students.
King’s College London
Ranked as one of the top twenty universities in the world, King’s College is recognised globally as one of the UK’s premier law schools.
The College’s Maughan Library provides students with an outstanding research facility and central location, in the heart of London surrounding by the Royal Courts of Justice and the Law Society, provide the perfect spot to begin a career in law.
The University of Nottingham
The University of Nottingham is consistently ranked amongst the best UK law schools and is a world-ranked centre for legal research and teaching.

University of Leeds
The University of Leeds has been teaching law for 115 years so it is fair to say they know one or two things about how to produce outstanding law professionals.
