All potential applicants should read the School of Law’s Admissions Statement. The Admissions Statement, which is in line with the University of Bristol’s Admissions Principles and Procedure, provides full details of the way in which we assess applications. The University's Admissions Principles and Procedure contains two categories; home/EU students and overseas students. Mature students will also find information under Mature students - Getting ready to apply and the Mature Students Guide.
All applications for undergraduate study in the School of Law must be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).
The closing date for applications for home and EU students is 15 January (for entry to university in October of that year, or for deferred entry in October of the following year). Applications received by UCAS after that date are marked ‘late’. We only consider ‘late’ applications in exceptional circumstances. If you are considering making a ‘late’ application, please contact us.
The closing date for overseas students is 30 June. No applications are considered after that date. However, we would strongly recommend that applicants apply and sit the LNAT as early as possible as we cannot guarantee that we can consider late applicants right up to the deadline.
For details about the deadlines for sitting the LNAT, please refer to the Admissions FAQ.
The School of Law deals with applications for:
LLB Law (UCAS course code M100)
LLB Law and French (UCAS course code MR11)
LLB Law and German (UCAS course code MR12)
Students who are admitted for the three year LLB Law course may, at the end of their first year of study, apply to transfer to the four year LLB in Law with Study in Continental Europe or LLB with Study Abroad. Those programmes provide an opportunity to spend one year studying law in Europe or in Singapore, Hong Kong or Japan, at one of our partner universities.
Students who apply for LLB Law and French (MR11) or LLB Law and German (MR12) - courses on which there are only about 5 places - but who are unsuccessful, are automatically considered for LLB Law (M100). There is nothing to be gained from applying for MR11/MR12 and M100.
All applicants for LLB Law (UCAS course code M100), LLB Law and French (UCAS course code MR11) and LLB Law and German (UCAS course code MR12) must sit the LNAT.
For details about the deadlines for sitting the LNAT, please refer to the Admissions FAQ.
We welcome applications from disabled people. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Undergraduate Office for a preliminary discussion or visit. We are committed to providing realistic information and meeting students’ needs wherever possible.
