The College of Law, Social and Criminal Justice Birmingham City University is a dynamic and diverse academic community, with a strong track record of delivering excellent education at undergraduate, taught postgraduate and research postgraduate levels. Our city centre campus in Birmingham’s Eastside, the city’s knowledge quarter, places us firmly at the heart of the city and close to the many institutions and social constituencies with whom we work closely. We embrace a practice-led, knowledge-based approach to our teaching, which is research-informed. 

The College is seeking to appoint a candidate who is a qualified Solicitor or Barrister with recent experience in practice and a willingness to teach on our Professional LLM courses.
