The University of Law (ULaw) (formerly the College of Law) is a for-profit, private university in the United Kingdom, providing law degrees, specialist legal training, and continuing professional development courses for British barristers and solicitors. Founded in 1962 as the College of Law, it is the UK's largest law school. The College of Law was granted degree-awarding powers in 2006, and in 2012 it became the UK's first for-profit educational institution to be granted university status. ULaw has nine branches across England.  These are located in Birmingham, Bristol, Chester, Exeter, Guildford, Leeds, Manchester, and two in London, Bloomsbury and Moorgate.
