The University of Law Appoints Broadgate Mainland

March 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Broadgate Mainland will work with the marketing team at The University of Law to build its domestic and international profile as it completes its rebrand from college to university status.

During this key milestone in The University of Law’s history, Broadgate Mainland’s professional development practice will support the leading provider of legal education in the UK, helping it to continue building an international educational presence through focused engagement specifically with global education and consumer media.

Previously known as The College of Law, it was granted university title last year.  In 2006 it was the first independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers by the Privy Council, leading to development of its Bachelor and Master of Laws degree programmes.

Broadgate Mainland executive director Sarah Evans-Toyne, says:  “The University of Law has an excellent reputation in legal education, from their focused undergraduate and postgraduate degrees to their practical and professional in-house programmes. We look forward to working alongside their marketing team to help highlight the University’s key strengths to both the domestic and international student market.”

Lucy Wray, Public Relations Manager at The University of Law, says: “We were especially impressed by Broadgate Mainland during a competitive pitch which showed that they had really thought about our business and key audiences and influencers.  Their strong knowledge of both the business and education media, coupled with their highly experienced team made us safe in the knowledge that they would be able to help us build our profile at this exciting time.”

The account will be managed by Broadgate Mainland’s Mark Knight, Sarah Evans-Toyne, Lianne Robinson and Andrew Adam.

The University of Law

The University of Law is the largest provider of professional legal education and training in Europe with centres in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Guildford, Manchester and York.

We are widely regarded as experts in legal training – all of our tutors and course designers are qualified solicitors or barristers and have practice experience.  We work closely with law firms and chambers of all sizes and exclusively deliver the Legal Practice Course (LPC) to trainees at many of the leading global law firms. In 2013 we will be launching an LL.M LPC, which will award students not only with an LPC but also with an internationally-recognised Master of Laws.

The University is proud of its record of empowering students from all backgrounds to achieve their legal career goals.  We support qualified lawyers throughout the profession with a comprehensive programme of professional development courses and in 2008 we launched our Master’s LL.M programme in professional legal practice.

We also provide the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) to give non-law graduates an entry route into the profession and the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) for prospective barristers.  

In 2006 the University was the first independent institution to be granted degree awarding powers. In September 2012 we launched a two-year undergraduate LL.B law degree focusing on employability and professional legal skills.
