Oxford University Law Admissions Report 2025-6.pdf

No because, as we have repeatedly said, they don’t care about the number of A levels as long as there are 3, so there is no point putting that information in the report.

But surely if I offer Maths, Further Maths and French it would be deemed to narrow of a combination of subjects? That's why, I am also doing Spanish.

Where in the admissions report, admissions FAQ or entry requirements on their website does it detail their requirements for broad or narrow range of subjects at AL?

Further Maths is usually the 4th A-Level.

All my friends do Further Maths as their 4th A-Level but 2 of them do Maths, Further Maths and Physics.

2.1.1.2 Procedure for shortlisting
An initial shortlist of candidates was drawn up on the basis of a rank comprised of contextualised GCSE scores and the two LNAT scores (MCT and essay), see section 2.1.3 for further information.

2.1.3 Weighting of test/GCSE scores/written work

The rank used as part of the initial shortlisting process was calculated on the basis of the two LNAT scores (MCT and essay) and contextualised GCSE scores (where available). Candidates with a cGCSE score are ranked using a three-point rank based 10% on each of the two LNAT scores and 80% on the cGCSE score. Candidates without a cGCSE score are ranked separately in a two-point rank drawing on the two LNAT scores equally, but decisions made on the basis of this rank are then adjusted as far as possible on a more individual basis in the light of any school qualifications the candidate may have achieved. The post-interview rank was calculated using this rank with a small addition of first interview scores.

So, this year's report is out, but no breakdown of the number of A-Levels or IB offered by applicants.

It doesn't look like that addresses what I asked.

It does not say you need more than 3. However, my sixth form told us to choose Maths, Further Maths and 2 other subjects as well and this is a common scenario across the UK and International centres.

You asked about breadth of subjects, not number of them.
Do the admissions report, admissions FAQ or website mention anything about how they consider a broad or narrow range of subjects at AL?

You choose whatever A levels you want.
What posters are objecting to is you telling people on here that they are at a disadvantage in applying to Oxford if they don’t have 4, 5 or 6 A levels. This is not true and could put people off applying who might be really strong candidates

At the LSE Open Day, I was told Maths, Further Maths and French does'nt demonstrate sufficient breadth and a 4th A-Level must be offered. I am yet to attend the Oxford, UCL, KCL and SOAS Open Days.

LSE's stance on maths, FM and a third and whether it is or is not considered suitably broad is well known and well described by them on their published webpages: https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Prospective-Students/How-to-Apply/Admissions-Information <- under section "Mathematics and Further Mathematics", and what constitutes an "essay based suject" for them <- under section "Subject Combinations".
You cannot assume any other university will have the same position of LSE, and the default expectation should be that if they do not state they have an issue with such combinations, it's because they don't. LSE is actually specifically known to uniquely maintain such a specific, limiting, and extensive list of acceptable subjects and subject combinations.

And to clarify for future readers, the lists immediately above relate to LSE, not Oxford.
