The University of Law (ULaw) has been ranked joint first (tying with the University of Buckingham) for overall student satisfaction in this year’s National Student Survey. ULaw, which has branches in Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Guildford, Leeds, London and Manchester, increased its satisfaction score by nine per cent, rising from 47th place last year. Vice-chancellor and chief academic officer, Professor Andrea Nollent, says: “Having extremely motivated and enthusiastic staff who have all practised law adds a depth of understanding and excitement to the learning process, which our students clearly enjoy and appreciate.”
