Do you meet the entry requirements for their LLB Law course (AAB-ABB at A level)?

If not, then I'd be very surprised if they allowed you to switch. You've spent the current academic year preparing for a Biomedical Science course. That preparation is unlikely to be particularly relevant preparation for an LLB Law course.

Have you considered joining their LLB Law with Integrated Foundation Year course instead?

No. You'd need to apply for it now, to start in September. So you'd be doing another foundation year.

Not ideal, and not necessary if you meet the requirements for their standard three-year LLB Law course. Do you?
