Law Summer School summary
King’s College London offers an introduction to English and international law through teaching and assignments modeled on university study.
Students research independently, write a structured response and develop a group presentation, with activities connecting law to professional practice.
It suits students who want to test their interest in law through academic work and discussion rather than observation alone.
What is Law Summer School?
The Law Summer School is King’s College London’s Pre-University Law course, introducing the foundations of English and international law. Students explore core legal topics and challenges through research-enriched lectures, seminars, workshops and experiential learning.
The course offers a taste of first-year undergraduate study through independent research, a structured assignment and a collaborative presentation. Its setting near the Royal Courts of Justice and Inns of Court supports activities and excursions linking academic law with professional practice.
Why Succeed highlights Law Summer School
The combination of English and international law provides a useful starting point for comparing legal disciplines.
Independent research and a supported written argument give students a concrete way to test university-style academic work.
A group presentation adds collaborative work to the individual assignment.
The setting beside major legal institutions connects classroom study with the professional context of law.
Residential students receive single en-suite rooms, breakfast and dinner, and 24-hour staff support.
Who is Law Summer School for?
Best for
Students considering law who want to experience university-style research, legal discussion and collaborative academic work.
Not ideal if
You want a credit-bearing qualification or prefer a light schedule without compulsory attendance and assignments.
Is Law Summer School worth it?
The strongest reason to choose this course is to test whether you enjoy studying law through research, supported argument and group discussion. Those activities give you more to reflect on than simply attending talks, especially if you are still deciding on a university subject.
The substantial fee makes the residential experience a significant family decision, and the course does not award academic credit. Its value depends on how much you use the academic work and tutor feedback to clarify your interests.
