Best Law Schools in England

London School of Economics

• The London School of Economics (LSE) is home to one of the best schools of law in England, according to the "Times Online," a publication that ranked the best schools of law in the U.K. in 2008. The London School of Economics provides a prime example of an interdisciplinary approach to law studies. The various facets of the entire university curriculum incorporate the study of law, as the school places law studies at the forefront of its curriculum across the university. LSE offers traditional law degrees offered by England's law schools such as the LL.B. (bachelor of laws), LL.M. (master of laws) and the research-oriented M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees (master of philosophy and doctor of philosophy). The school also offers a master of science degree in legal accounting. Research emphases of the faculty include transnational law, altruistic law, and financial markets and the law.

University of Oxford

• The University of Oxford is perhaps England's most famous university. The university has an established international reputation in nearly every field of study. The "Times Online" ranked the Oxford University Faculty of Law as the second highest-rated law program in England in 2008. Oxford offers degrees similar to those offered by the London School of Economics. Oxford offers a bachelor of arts degree in law and a bachelor of civil law (BCL) as well. The school also offers various master's degrees in the field in specialty areas such as financial law and criminology. Many of the degrees offered through the law school are research-oriented as well, such as the master of letters, M.Phil. and the Ph.D. Like the LSE, Oxford has an established reputation for interdisciplinary studies in law.
