Law at
Oxford &
Cambridge.

Register and book separately from UCAS. Use the official finder for an authorised test centre near you. The LNAT is taken at a centre, rather than from home.

The published fee is £75 at UK or EU centres; £120 elsewhere. Your centre’s location determines the fee. If you need access arrangements, follow LNAT’s instructions before booking. Check the bursary scheme’s eligibility if you need help with the cost.

For the ordinary 2027 Oxbridge route, the booking and testing deadlines shown above have passed. Check the next cycle’s dates before making plans.

Oxford’s undergraduate interviews are online. Shortlisted Law applicants should follow their December invitation, including any preparation or language assessment for the European route.

Cambridge’s format depends on the College. For 2027 entry, Christ’s, Downing and St John’s list online interviews. Pembroke lets applicants outside the UK choose online or in person. Some other Colleges, including King’s, list in-person interviews. Check the current College table before budgeting for travel.

Neither course requires a school Law qualification. Legal work experience is not a prerequisite. Cambridge explicitly recognises that access to placements varies and gives them no extra weight over other ways of exploring Law.

Reading a judgment, following a lecture or examining a legal argument can give you something thoughtful to discuss. What matters is the reasoning you develop from it.

The LNAT has its own registration. Cambridge also normally requires My Cambridge Application, and may ask for a transcript depending on your qualifications. Follow the document and deadline instructions for your own application.

Oxford Law does not request separately submitted written work. At Cambridge, College requirements differ: Pembroke asks for two pieces of written work. Use the College selector above for a few examples, then check your chosen College directly.

Overseas undergraduate funding is limited at both universities. Build a budget you can sustain without assuming a full scholarship. Check eligibility by nationality, residence and financial circumstances, as well as College and external awards.

Cambridge says few full scholarships are available; most support is partial and means-tested. Cambridge Trust consideration follows a College offer, but some other awards have earlier deadlines. Oxford also describes its overseas undergraduate scholarships as very limited.

Check whether your nationality and existing immigration status mean you need a Student visa. If sponsorship is required, you need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) before applying.

Cambridge issues a CAS only after all offer conditions have been met. Follow your university’s instructions on timing, documents and financial evidence. Budget separately for visa charges, any immigration health surcharge and travel.
