Professor David Yates, Chairman of the Governors and Warden of Robinson College, Cambridge, said:


“The Governors are delighted that the College’s long heritage of excellent teaching and learning has today been recognised in the granting of university title. It is a welcome acknowledgement of the College’s academic standards and recognition of its leadership in delivering innovation in teaching, learning and creating a more accessible and diverse legal profession. The creation of the university and the newly formed Legal Education Foundation provide two strong pillars for the future


of legal education and access to legal education enabling the profession to meet its future challenges.”


Professor Nigel Savage, Chief Executive, said: “I am absolutely delighted for our students, staff and the sector in realising this ambition. As a specialised ‘University of Law’ we are a new type of institution, focussed on teaching and learning, working alongside the research intensive universities which


continue to provide leadership in research and our existing partners such as the Open University. We will help to bring diversity and increased student choice to the higher education spectrum; broaden access to the legal profession, and export high quality British education to aspiring lawyers across the globe.


“English law and English law firms are at the heart of today’s global legal framework and cross-border business world. Our students gain world-class, transferable skills,


knowledge and qualifications that enhance their CVs and increase their attractiveness to future employers. Having a university title will give further credibility to that and will support their global recognition as future lawyers of the highest calibre.


“All of our programmes are accessible to students via our centres or the internet at home or in the workplace without the need to incur the cost of expensive residential accommodation. Our focus will continue to be on accessibility,
