Ways to apply - 2012 entry
There are currently two ways you can apply:
UCAS Apply
Although the UCAS application date has now passed for 2012 entry, you can still apply for our LL.B if you haven't used up your five UCAS choices. Applications submitted after the 15 January UCAS deadline will be classed by UCAS as "late", however the College will still consider it in the same way as applications received prior to the 15 January.
UCAS Extra
If you have used up all five of your UCAS choices and don't hold any offers, you can still apply to us through UCAS Extra. If you're eligible to use UCAS Extra, a button will appear on your UCAS Track screen through which you can apply to us. Visit the UCAS website for more information.
UCAS Clearing
We expect to have places available in UCAS Clearing in August 2012. More information will be available closer to the time.
Ways to apply - 2013 entry
UCAS applications open in September 2012. Simply visit the UCAS website and register your details with UCAS Apply to get started on your application. UCAS applications will close on 15 January 2013, however it is likely that we will be accepting applications up to June 2013.
