Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: M100
Here's what University of Oxford says about its Law course.
Studying law will not only give you the opportunity to qualify as a solicitor or barrister: it will also help you develop a diverse set of skills which you will be able to apply in many different situations. You will learn to assimilate and analyse complex information, construct arguments, write with precision and clarity and think on your feet. The Oxford Law degree aims to develop all these skills, but its particular strength is in teaching you to think for yourself. Students are expected to read a good deal, mostly from primary sources, and to develop views not simply about what the law is, but also about why it is so, whether it should be so, and how it might be different. For more information on this course please visit ox.ac.uk/uglaw.

Support is available if you need it, although is not always the best. I have had mixed experiences, and had a particularly bad experience when seeking financial support/advice in which an advisor offered unfortunately completely out of touch advice. Other times, people have been extremely helpful.

Great facilities although the sports centre is a little far. The libraries here are the highlight to me.

The course had a good level of choice and was very indepth. I felt that the 4th year project was lacking, and would have preferred it be a more prominent part of the degree especially considering most people in this course are interested in further research after graduating. I don't feel particularl...

University of Oxford open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
