Entry Requirements

As well as the appropriate academic qualifications required to enter the University of Law’s LLB, GDL, and MA law courses, international applicants may be required to show proof of fluency in spoken and written English.

Students who have the equivalent to a UK degree from what is classified as a majority English speaking country need not produce proof of their English fluency. Please visit the university’s dedicated International Students Information webpage to find out the requirements for your country of origin.

International student applicants from non-majority English-speaking countries will need to send a certified copy of an approved English language test, or take the University of Law English Test (ULET).

For students who need to improve their English language ability to meet the language entry requirements for their chosen degree course, the university offers a Pre-Sessional English Language Course. This may be 7 or 12 weeks long, depending on your English level. For more information, please visit the university’s English Language Courses page.

The application process varies depending on your course choice. In general, you will either make your application through the UK’s UCAS (University and College Admissions) organisation or directly. As one of the University of Law’s educational agents, we can help you with your application.
