About the School

"A brief glance at my biography and you will know that I am passionate about business management - and football.

"In both arenas, getting the right team together is crucial to success. That’s what we’ve done at the Business School . The team here at Bournemouth has the experience, expertise and motivation to deliver to the highest standards of business learning.

"The result is that professional bodies choose to endorse many of our courses year-on-year. We demand students who are self-motivated and who will graduate as smart, business savvy individuals driven to succeed in the competitive world of business. As a result our graduates enjoy high employment rates, are in demand by world-class organisations, and attract industry awards.

"In order to deliver those graduates we have a powerful academic research culture which keeps us relevant, informs course development and benefits the business community locally, nationally and internationally. Our business consultancy services have aided the profitability and market position of many of the organisations with which we have worked.

"Whether you are a potential student, a current student or a business client and want to stand out from the crowd, then let me know. Together we can deliver the success you deserve – there are exciting times ahead."

Bournemouth Law School

About the School

Welcome to Bournemouth Law School.

We understand very well the competitive nature of a career in the legal profession which is why our courses are designed with your success in mind.

As an integrated Law School, legal academics and practising lawyers work together to provide students with a rich learning environment. This philosophy unites theoretical knowledge with the professional skills students need to succeed in their future careers.

With our emphasis firmly on professional education, we reflect current best practice through our work with solicitors, excellent links with The Law Society, the Dorset Magistrates' Association and local Trainee and Young Solicitors’ Groups.

LLB students have the benefit of a placement during their third year which enables them to experience law in practice. This equips students with a competitive advantage when applying for legal positions as they have a proven track record of working in the profession.

We are particularly proud of our Legal Practice Course which achieved the highest possible grading by The Law Society in five out of six assessment categories.

Our research focus, noticably in the fields of human rights, public law, intellectual property and corporate governance, allows our expertise to be disseminated to local businesses through our services to business.

Bournemouth Law School enjoys its close relationship with The Business School in the fields of taxation, employment, corporate governance, accounting and finance.

Partner Colleges

• View Partner Colleges Open Day dates
• View a list of all Partner Colleges

The University works in partnership with colleges in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire to provide extended opportunities for study, either at locations near to your home or to provide specialist courses not widely available on a national basis. Many of the courses are part-time and are ideal to help you develop the knowledge and skills to advance your career while in work, others are full-time courses lasting from one to three years depending upon the subject. Courses range from short professional courses, through HNC/HNDs, Foundation degrees, to full Honours degrees.

If you study a course at a partner college you will be a Bournemouth University student. In most cases, all of the teaching will be at the partner college and they will provide the support necessary for you to complete the course - including access to library services, information technology, and a full range of student support, such as careers advice and support for additional learning needs.

Our South West partner colleges offer a wide range of study environments and themselves range from large general colleges of Further Education, with a broad mix of students and courses, to small specialist institutions with dedicated facilities and staff. Your experience of a partner college will be different from that of being based on a Bournemouth University campus but will be convenient to your home and work and help you to settle into Higher Education learning in familiar surroundings. Your course will be of the same quality and standard as all University courses and your final award will be conferred by the University.

Partner colleges offer specialized facilities and resources specifically designed to meet the needs of your study course. All have library, computing, social, sports and recreational facilities and the back-up support of welfare service including accommodation, childcare, careers, finance and students union.
