Hello,
Have you decided which university you want to study at? And is it just Law you’re looking at? These are the universities offering law in London: UCL, King's College London, LSE, Queen Mary, and SOAS, Brunel, City, Goldsmiths, Kingston, London South Bank, Westminster, West London, Middlesex, and UEL
It will be a good idea to look at their entry requirements in their websites.

Hi @gwenellagovan,
It’s great that you’re interested in studying law in London.
As others have mentioned, your first step should be to carefully check each university’s website for their international entry requirements for the BFI, as these can differ slightly between institutions.
For most of the top London universities offering law (such as UCL, King’s, etc.) that you mentioned, you will also need to sit an entrance exam called the LNAT. Your LNAT score, along with your predicted/final grades and a strong personal statement, will be a key part of your application.
Your personal statement is especially important because this is where you show your motivation for law, your academic interests (especially in areas like politics, economics, and society, which link well to corporate law), and any relevant reading or experience.
You’ll apply through UCAS like UK students, and most universities have dedicated international student teams who can support you with visas, accommodation, and transition to studying in the UK.
If you start early, prepare well for the LNAT, and put together a strong application, you’ll be in a good position.
Wishing you the best of luck with your applications!
Hope that helps,
Ronak

As a University of Law (ULaw) Ambassador and MA Law (Conversion) student, I can give you a clear overview of how to move from the BFI (Australian section) into an English law degree, especially if your aim is Corporate Law in London.
1. Entry into an English Law degree (LLB)UK universities are very familiar with the French Baccalauréat and BFI routes. For Law (LLB), they will pay particular attention to:
•
Your overall BFI grade.
•
Your performance in essay-based subjects such as HGGSP and SES, which are very suitable for Law
•
Your personal statement, especially your interest in law, awareness of the commercial world, and reasoning ability
•
English language requirements will normally apply, but BFI students usually satisfy these automatically or with very little additional evidence.
2. Studying Corporate Law at LondonIn the UK, Corporate Law is not normally pursued as an undergraduate degree on its own.
You will:
Complete a qualifying law degree, e.g., law LLB
Complete commercial/corporate law modules in the latter years
Gain experience through internships, open days, and insight schemes with law firms
The universities in London provide an excellent platform for you to be exposed to corporate law firms.
3. International student support
Most London universities provide the following support to international students:
•
International admissions teams
•
Visa and immigration advice
•
Academic skills, including English legal writing
4. Next steps
Your first concerns should be:
•
Research Law LLB courses in London
•
Find out how your BFI grades translate to UK entry requirements
•
Begin work on a law-related personal statement
•
Begin preparations for applying through UCAS
All the best,
Faith
University of Law Ambassador & MA Law (Conversion) student
