“The opportunity to complete the AFHEA and PGCHE while working in a role connected to my Law degree has been invaluable. Teaching Foundation Year students helped build my confidence and gave me a real sense of achievement. The interview process was really good overall. It gave me a clear understanding of the expectations, and the panel were welcoming and supportive.”

Our Campuses
Each with their own identities, our campuses provide comfortable and diverse surroundings for an optimal teaching experience. We have purpose-built, state of the art, seminar rooms and lecture theatres to give our academic staff an opportunity to teach in a range of learning environments. At all our UK locations we offer private areas for our staff to have a break, catch-up with colleagues or grab refreshments.
The majority of our campuses are based in the heart of the UK's largest and most vibrant cities. Close to key transport routes and major train stations, our campuses are easy to access and adjacent to major Law and Business districts.
Benefits & Wellbeing
The University offers a comprehensive range of benefits and wellbeing support, designed to reflect diverse priorities, lifestyles, and individual needs.
We place a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing, providing all colleagues with 24/7 access to online GP appointments, as well as the option to enrol in our Private Medical Insurance scheme. We also support colleagues in making a positive impact beyond the University, offering two paid volunteering days each year to contribute to local communities.
