How to apply
Advice to applicants
Any exceptional circumstances (eg illness prior, ongoing or at the time of your exams) surrounding your application should be included in your personal statement and backed up in your academic reference or the Law School should be informed in writing prior to your examination results.
How your application is considered
Your UCAS application is always considered as a whole; taking into account your qualifications, personal statement and reference.
We consider the Widening Participation status
of applicants while assessing applications; borderline candidates holding a WP or WP Plus flag are given further consideration.
Potential applicants are welcome to contact the School of Law Admissions Office to discuss their eligibility.
Deferrals
Applications for deferred entry are normally considered. The admissions tutor will be looking for valid reasons for deferral (eg financial, relevant work experience, charity work).
Policy for applicants who resit their qualifications
If you have re-sat individual modules to improve your grades, we will consider your application according to the standard selection process. If you are planning to re-sit the final Year 13 examinations, or have already done so, the University will consider your application, but we may require further information in order to make an informed judgment on your application.
Re-applications
If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry. In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved. We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.If you are applying for a place for the same year of entry through UCAS Extra, you should provide additional evidence of your suitability for the course. If you are applying through clearing you are required to meet the clearing requirements. In both UCAS Extra and clearing the places will be subject to availability.
Transfers
We do not consider applications for the second or third year of the course.
No credit will be given for prior learning.
