All A Level subjects approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Agency are acceptable to us; however we do ask that you offer at least two A Levels in mainstream subjects which do not have a large practical content.

We will accept General Studies at full A Level together with two academic A Levels.

We recognise that the potential to study law may be demonstrated in a variety of ways, and are flexible in our assessment of the suitability of individual applicants.

The School therefore welcomes applications from people offering other types and combinations of qualifications eg diplomas and certificates and overseas qualifications.  Cypriot applicants - A Levels as above or Apolyterion minimum grade 19.

Please note that we are not currently using the Law National Admissions Tests.

For 2011 entry we recognise the Advanced Diploma 2011 (Dip + specified A Level) A +A (for A Level AAA graded courses) or A/B + BA (for AAB or ABB graded courses).

We will consider applicants taking Access Courses in suitable subjects (social sciences or humanities) on a case-by-case basis. However, as a general guideline we are likely to ask for 60 credits overall, 45 at Level 3 of which 35 at L3 Distinction.
