Picking a university to study law at

Hi, I wondered if any students that have chosen or are choosing law to study at university have any advice on which universities are best to study law at? I’ve had a look at Cardiff (which I wasn’t a fan of), Exeter, Bristol and Liverpool? But I’m struggling to make a decision on which one or if there are any others people would recommend. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Hiya I'm not a law student so I can't help in that area.
I would recommend searching up what unis are best for law and you could go from there. My cousin is currently at LSE doing her masters after doing Bach at there too. She is enjoying herself there. She also considered UCL and oxbridge but as I said I can't speak out for how well it is since I have no clue. And league tables aren't everything. But if you interested you can look at these unis too.
You already put of list of potential unis and I would advise you to look at their course and see if it suits you along with that you meet their entry requirements. And other factors that you may personally consider i.e is travelling convenient?
I hope that helps narrowing where you want to go in terms of interest xx

There is probably no consensus as to which universities are the best places at which to study law, or even on what "best" means in this context. Obvious names to mention are Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, LSE, and KCL. People debate endlessly the relative merits of Bristol, Durham, Nottingham, Warwick, QMUL, York, and so on. Your predicted sixth form grades and other aspects of your academic profile will determine which universities you can apply to with a realistic chance of obtaining an offer.

Hi lovely,

Amy from Cardiff University here! I'm sorry to hear that you weren't a fan of Cardiff. Although I don't study Law here, I can certainly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Cardiff over the past four years, so much so that I decided to stay here to pursue my Masters degree 🙂
