We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on judgement of academic potential.

You may need to complete a written exercise in reasoning and analysis and attend an admissions event.

For part-time courses, standard requirements are a minimum of two A-levels or equivalent.

UCAS TARIFF POINTS
3 years full-time: 96-120 points (e.g. A-levels CCC-BBB)
4 years full-time with Foundation Year: 48 points
The UCAS tariff score is applicable to you if you have recently studied a qualification that has a UCAS tariff equivalence. UCAS provides a tariff calculator for you to work out what your qualification is worth within the UCAS tariff.
We offer an LLB Law with Foundation Year degree which provides a law degree with an extra year of supported study. This is an ideal route if you are returning to study after being out of education for a while, or if you did not achieve the grades you needed for the LLB.

Once you successfully complete the Foundation Year, you will automatically advance onto the main degree.

ALTERNATIVE ENTRY ROUTES
Access to Higher Education Diploma with a minimum of 15 credits achieved at Merit or Distinction in law, humanities or social science units.

Birkbeck's Certificate of Higher Education in Legal Studies with a minimum mark of 50% is accepted for entry to the LLB, with optional credit for a first-year module.
If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.5, with not less than 6.0 in each of the sub-tests.
