Best UK universities for law ?

The universities on your current list are all great. You can swap one for UCL if you wish, but bare in mind you'd then have 4 LNAT and 4 A*AA unis(I think)

LSE and Queen Mary University do not require LNAT. Just not sure what their requirements are for A Levels. You should check their website, but I assume LSE is A*AA since its the 7th top uni. for Law

Yeah it is A*AA. I'll either keep one of LSE or UCL in my list though. Is Queen Mary a well reputed university?

In terms of Law, Queen Mary University is ranked 35th in the world. However, QM university as a whole is ranked 109 in the world, which is still not bad. In terms of "EUROPE" only, it is ranked number 10 for Law.

If I take English Literature and History for A Level, alongside Media studies - would Media Studies deter me from going into Law?

Not at all

Universities don't have any subject requirements for law according to my research. I do IB and not A-Levels, so I cannot really say much regarding that. However, top universities say you should at least have one "essay" based subject which in your case, History and English Literature count as essay based subjects. I also heard that universities love History as it is quite a challenging subject to take and score very well in.

Thank you, I was worried that if I took up Media Studies it would be looked upon as a softer option.

Oh yes, indeed I did hear about that before. I think it is because top universities are very competitive that some people think they would prefer to choose students who take harder subjects and achieve the same grade as students who take an easier subject. However, Law has nothing to do with school taught subjects that even if you take A-Level Law they would not care about it as it does not really represent the real studies behind Law if you know what I mean. Keep in mind however that they do not only consider your grades in the subjects you took, but your personal statement plays a vital role in your application process so make sure it is great because that is what is going to make you stand out from the rest of the applicants.

Give Oxford a shot, you might as well. You have 5 applications- use one on Oxford

Hi,
Since the UCAS applications are around the corner, I wanted to finalize my list of 5 universities for applying to the LLB programme (Bachelors in Law). My AS grades are 3 As in English Literature, History and Psychology and C in English Language (which I've sent for a recheck). Should I give the universities in the upper tier like UCL, King's and Durham a shot ?

This is my current list:

-King's
-Durham
-Warwick
-Edinburgh
-Bristol

Thanks in advance.

Well, I'm a bit divided on that since the number of applications is quite restricted. What's stopping me from giving it a shot is my GCSE result which was pretty average- 4 As (including 1 A*) 6 Bs. I'm not so sure how much priority is given to GCSEs, however.

Durham, UCL, LSE and Cambridge/Oxford are all very reputable but will be asking for high grades.
Bristol and York are good alternatives that don't ask for A*s and that are sometimes more lenient if you miss your offer
