Study for, take, and pass your AS level examinations. Check university rankings to see which institution offers the best law degrees for your purposes. Send for a course prospectus from each of the universities you prefer and see how many A levels you need and the minimum number they accept. Some universities may settle for two A levels but most expect three for a law course.
Choose two, and possibly three, institutions offering law degree courses. Fill out your UCAS form and take great care with your personal statement.
This form goes through a central distribution evaluation called UCAS. Copies of the form are sent to all three of the universities you chose. You should hear from them before you take your actual A levels and you may be asked to attend interviews at the law schools you choose to apply to.
Colleges may make what is known as a conditional offer (the condition being passing the A levels).Take and pass A level exams, then wait to hear from your chosen universities. If you don't achieve high enough grades you may not get an offer from any of the colleges of your choice. If you aren't offered a place, don't panic, try clearing.
All universities in England operate a process known as clearing to help students who did not receive an offer of a place, or who did not have high enough grades. Clearing usually takes place during the last two weeks of August.
Academic staff man the phones for their schools and wait for students to call. If you fulfill the criteria of the phone call and have achieved two of your A levels, you may be invited for an interview and consequently offered a place in the law degree program.
Study for your bachelor of laws (LLB) degree usually takes three years but some degree courses may be four years. If you pass your exams you will have a law degree but you will have to undertake further study and training to practice law in England
