What it’s like to study law in London?
Depending on the course you choose, you might have the chance to go on placements as part of your studies, offering you valuable real-world experience. In your first year, you’ll probably have a lot of core modules to give you the basic grounding you’ll need to continue your studies at the next level.
Later in your course, you’ll probably have more options to pick modules related to specific areas of law you’re interested in. For example, you might have the chance to study modules on family law, consumer law, business law, immigration law or employment law. Which of these optional modules you choose might inform your career path, so make sure you think about what you want to do after you graduate and what you’ll want to specialise in so you can make the right choices.
Living in London means there’ll be all sorts of law-related events and conferences in the city during your studies. London hosts the London Law Expo, the London Conference on International Law and the International Conference on Family Law.
As well as events and conferences, you’ll also be in the place where UK laws are made. You could visit the Houses of Parliament and spend time in Westminster.
Because it’s such a big city there are a lot of legal firms around, so you might be able to reach out to some of these firms to ask about the possibility of work experience or a placement.

What are the entry requirements for law courses?
For most LLB Law courses, you’ll need between 96-128 UCAS Tariff points. 96 UCAS points is equivalent to CCC at A-level or MMM in BTEC, while 128 UCAS points is ABB at A-level or DDM in BTEC. You’ll also probably need English and maths GCSEs at grade C/4 or above. Additional requirements vary across unis, so check their websites for details.
There’s a chance you’ll be invited to interview or have to sit an additional exam, the LNAT. This depends on which unis you’re applying to and will be sat in the September–January period the year before you start uni (the same time you’ll be writing your UCAS application).
