The International College for Legal Studies (ICLS) prioritizes academic rigor while recognizing the value of holistic student development. Beyond the classroom, ICLS cultivates a vibrant extracurricular landscape through a diverse array of student societies.
ICLS goes beyond the classroom, fostering well-rounded legal professionals. The esteemed Legal Clinics program hones your legal, advocacy, and research skills through practical experience. Meanwhile, specialized centers tackle critical issues. The Centre for Law and Human Rights, collaborating with Amnesty International South Asia, champions human rights in Pakistan.
International Centre for Dispute Resolution Lahore
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a mechanism that includes unique techniques such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration to promote settlements outside of court that save time and money. ADR is the perfect route to efficient and effective conflict resolution.
The Centre for Global Research (CGR) is dedicated to providing crucial legal support to both domestic and international institutions. Its core mission is to strengthen law and research methodologies by integrating international standards and best practices within Pakistan’s existing legal frameworks.
The Centre for Law and Human Rights (CLHR) at ICLS is a cornerstone of the institution’s educational philosophy, dedicated to cultivating a deep commitment to human rights advocacy in its students.
As the sole University of London (UoL) Recognised Teaching Centre with an established Centre for Practical Legal Training, ICLS is a true leader in Pakistan’s legal education landscape. Our robust team of practitioners delivers a practice-oriented learning experience to our students.
The Annual Legal Training Programme (ALT) is conducted during the summers, as our flagship programme designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world legal practice.
Being a third-year law student there is no doubt Law is very challenging and requires a lot of hard work, yet I am enjoying every bit of it. I come to say this with an experience I have had studying from some great teachers in the past two years. They not only gave a sense of inclusivity and acceptance, but they also created an understanding environment and in addition, made sure that we were confident enough to sit for our exams.
Furthermore, ICLS along with a zealous faculty and environment provide an opportunity to learn and be a part of a variety of other legal qualifications such as ADR/ODR and legal clinics. These opportunities not only help you learn but also broadens the scope of legal work in the future. I look forward to completing my last year at ICLS and being an accredited mediator I am eager to learn more about ADR under the guidance of our mentors.

ICLS, a law school established with a view to cater for the real needs of law students, aspiring to become practising lawyers. I am extremely impressed with the concept of Law Clinics, designed especially to expose the law students to the practical side of the profession, which I believe is the need of the day to improve the quality of lawyers in Pakistan.

Message From The Dean
Welcome to ICLS
ICLS began as a law school built on academic excellence, diversity, and innovation. That foundation has since grown into something broader: a multidisciplinary institution offering internationally recognised education across Law, Business & Management, and School of Computing & Digital Technologies. What hasn’t changed is the model at our core, transnational education that lets you study in Pakistan and graduate from London, without ever having to choose between the two.
As someone who has worked directly with the University of London since 2004, ICLS was built around a simple idea: you shouldn’t have to leave home to earn a UK degree. We offer LLB (Hons), Certificate of Higher Education in Common Law, Graduate Diploma in Commercial Law, LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in law, and Postgraduate Certificate in law, alongside the Bar Transfer Course by BPP. As ICLS has expanded into Bachelor of Business Administration of Royal Holloway and Bachelor of Computer Science of Goldsmiths, both from University of London, we have extended that same transnational model, building partnerships and pathways that put a globally recognised qualification within reach without the cost, visa complications, or upheaval of relocating abroad.
This model only works if it’s trusted, and trust is something we have had to earn. In a short span of time, ICLS has secured recognition from both the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the Pakistan Bar Council (PBC). This dual recognition, achieved alongside our University of London recognised Teaching Centre and other international affiliations, means an ICLS degree holds weight locally and internationally. Our mission is simple, yet demanding to deliver: give students a complete educational experience, where classroom learning is matched by real-world exposure, and where academic growth goes hand in hand with personal and professional development. Across every faculty, students learn from people who are still active in their fields, from practicing advocates and legal academics in Law, industry professionals in Business & Management, and working engineers and technologists in Computer Science & Digital Technologies.
Whether a student walks through our doors to study law, business, or technology, our aim is the same: to prepare graduates who are genuinely ready for their profession, for leadership, and for the responsibility that comes with both.
ICLS is a community built on that shared standard: locally rooted, internationally recognised, and genuinely invested in those who study here.
