Applying to Leicester

Entry requirements

You can find our entry requirements on our course pages for Law LLB and Law (JD Pathway) LLB. We do not require students to have taken the LSAT or LNAT. If you are unsure if your qualifications meet our entry requirements then please contact us at AHLadmissions@le.ac.uk.

Making an application through UCAS

All applications to UK universities are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). You will need to submit an online application form, which includes your personal details, your academic achievements, a personal statement and a reference. The deadline for applications is 30 June each year but we recommend that you apply as early as you can.

See UCAS's guidance on applying to university and completing an application

Once we have received your application from UCAS, we will decide whether to make you an offer to study with us. Our admissions team will need to see your results on certificates or transcripts after you have applied. We will let you know what to send and where to send it.

The UCAS website explains the different types of offers made by universities.
