The ideal setting

From our campus located just 10 minutes from London Bridge, teaching at Goldsmiths takes advantage of all that London has to offer.

Our LLB Law modules incorporate a range of opportunities often only available outside of a university curriculum such as study visits, professional awareness activities, practical experience, research events, and learning from leading legal professionals through guest lectures by our Visiting Professors.

Learning here doesn’t stop in the classroom. It continues in visits to the heart of the English legal system such as the Royal Courts of Justice, Supreme Court or Parliament, and takes advantage of our proximity to law firms, leading chambers, the Law Society and the Inns of Court.
