Choosing universities for Law
Hi there,
I was wondering if I could have some opinions or directions in which universities I should apply to. I am 2026 entry, have done my personal statement and I have AAB predicted, decent GCSES, ready to apply soon but I was unsure if this is good enough to study law at an decent/aspirational univerisity. For context, I am eligiblle for a contextual offer.
Which universities would you recommend? I was thinking of one university which requires the LNAT.

If youre elegible for a contextual offer then treat that as what the entry requirements are, provided you are certain that you are elegible.
For AAB predicted id suggest you choose 1 or 2 requiring AAB or higher, 2 at ABB-BBB and 1 or 2 below BBB.

There are good unis that require AAB for Law, like Cardiff, Reading, Sheffield and SOAS.
LNAT unis (Oxbridge, Bristol, Durham, KCL, LSE and UCL) typically require A*AA. You may check your eligibility for contextual. Good luck.

Hi,
There are many great great options for you, SOAS may be one of them. For Law, we require AAB however, with a contextualised offer that would be ABB. If you have not completed any BTEC subjects you do not need the LNAT which I am assuming is the case for you here as your predicted grades are ABB.
I would recommend going to a few open days to experience the universities personally. You can attend an open day at SOAS or book a campus tour using this link.
Hope this helps

The usual advice for your 5 UCAS choices is :
Be aware that LNAT Unis are the most competitive, and if you intend to take LNAT you must register and book a test date soon. There are plenty of good Unis that do not require LNAT - Liverpool, Lancaster, Newcastle, Leeds, Loughborough, Southampton, Sheffield, Cardiff, Leicester, Reading etc etc.
•
1 choice just above your predicted grades - 1 grade and not in a vital subject.
•
3 choices at your predicted grades - these are you most likely offers.
•
1 choice several grades lower - this is your potential Insurance choice.

When picking universities, its always important to consider all aspects, such as the course, modules, the area, and the opinion of other students. I also think offer holder and visit days really helped me to decide which university to pick, and allowed me to speak to current and prospective students.
Southampton is a Russel group uni that doesn't require an LNAT and usually has an offer of AAA, however as you're eligible for contextual offer reducing the requirement by 1 grade tends to happen. You can read about the law course and modules here - to be able to see in more detail what you would be studying, and compare this to other courses.
Whilst I do not study law, I can say I have had a wonderful experience at the University of Southampton, with many societies you can get involved in, and a great community. Southampton itself has many pubs, bars and clubs which run many student nights, creating a good atmosphere. There is also The stag's - the pub on Highfield campus.
If you have any more questions about Southampton please let me know.
