Choosing where to study law is about more than earning a degree. With more than 100 years of teaching heritage and world-leading research expertise, Law at the University of Exeter is taught with humanity and purpose; it’s transformational. Here, your education is designed to do more than prepare you for a career, it empowers you to create change.
A supportive and ambitious learning environment
At Exeter, you will be part of an ambitious but supportive environment, where collaboration and challenge help you develop your confidence and independence.
International students are given a range of specific support, including visa advice, airport collections, academic support and more. One of the most practical benefits of studying in the UK is the shorter time needed to complete your degree. A bachelor’s degree typically takes three years, while a taught master’s degree usually takes one year, compared to four and two years in countries such as the US and Australia. This means lower overall tuition fees and living costs, without compromising on academic quality.
Your learning happens beyond the lecture hall
You won’t just study law; you’ll experience how it works in practice.
At Exeter, your learning extends beyond the lecture hall through clinics, placements and practical legal challenges embedded within your degree. These opportunities allow you to apply legal theory to real-world situations, helping you build professional confidence and transferable skills from the very beginning of your studies.
