About Us
Established in 1999
Newcastle Law Academy (NLA) was established in Dhaka in 1999 to provide tuition support to students of the University of London's undergraduate laws programmes. For more than a quarter of a century it has guided Bangladeshi students through UK legal education and on towards the Bar.
In 2009 NLA was recognised by the University of London as a Registered Centre for the LLB and the Diploma in Law. Today NLA is a University of London Recognised Teaching Centre for the LLB, the Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law and the Graduate Diploma in Commercial Law. Students are registered with the University of London, which is the awarding body for the qualification.
For students who are unable to attend a full-time course abroad for logistical, financial or any other reason, NLA provides them an opportunity to complete the course while residing in Bangladesh.
Message from the Principal
On behalf of Newcastle Law Academy, it is my pleasure to welcome you and thank you for considering NLA as the beginning of your journey into the legal profession.
Since 1999, NLA has been dedicated to guiding students towards legal qualifications awarded by universities in the United Kingdom. For many aspiring lawyers, the ambition to become a Barrister of England and Wales represents the fulfilment of a cherished dream, one founded on intellectual achievement, professional distinction and a commitment to the rule of law. At NLA, we understand the significance of that ambition and the dedication required to pursue it.
Our approach to legal education is built upon the experience and commitment of our faculty, comprising accomplished legal professionals, including Barristers and practising Advocates. Through academic instruction, individual guidance and a supportive learning environment, we seek to help our students develop the knowledge, analytical ability and professional discipline essential to their future careers.
As you consider the next chapter of your life, I invite you to take that first step with Newcastle Law Academy. It would be our privilege to support you as you work towards your aspirations and prepare for the opportunities and responsibilities that lie ahead.
I wish you every success in your academic journey.
