Please note that these entry requirements are for reference only, and can occasionally change despite our frequent updates. The actual offer you receive can vary depending on your academic profile, personal statement and LNAT results. Hence the importance of getting us to help with your UCAS application and personal statement, to maximise your potential of getting offers from top universities!
How to Use this Table
You can sort this table to look at universities with the highest entry requirements. Note that for Cambridge, they do have a separate admissions test required instead of the LNAT. Whereas KCL & York may offer interviews to candidates. Of course, it is very important to consider student satisfaction as well, where the national average is 86%. You should also look into the subject content for each course by clicking on the university name on the first column.
As you will have 5 course options to apply for through UCAS, we suggest applying to 3 aspirational universities with high grades that you are aiming for; and 2 insurance universities with lower grade requirements to ensure you do can still read Law, even if you do not achieve your predicted grades. Having a mix of LNAT and non-LNAT universities is also something you should consider. Bear in mind that competition to get into a LLB Law programme is high, and there are only subtle differences in grade requirements for top universities.
