If you are not eligible for one of our Access programmes, but want to find out more about law in the UK, see our summer programme, the Oxford Introduction to Law in the UK.

LNAT

The deadline to sit the LNAT is 15th October each year, unless this date falls on a Sunday. Please refer to the LNAT website for up to date deadlines.

This is a hard deadline, supported by the Universities admissions test policy. You are advised to register and book a test date as soon as possible, you can book a test from 1st August, tests commence 1st September. Test locations fill up quickly, if you fail to organise your test before 15th September you are unlikely to secure a test before the deadline.

Law Taster Day event

Each year, the Faculty of Law at Oxford opens its doors to prospective students for a day of academic engagement and exploration. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in law lectures and seminars, take part in a guided tour, and enjoy lunch at one of our colleges.

Due to limited capacity (220 places per day), we ask schools to nominate two students who would particularly benefit from this experience. We encourage nominations of students who:

Demonstrate academic potential but may lack the confidence to apply to Oxford.
Are on track to meet our entry requirements and have expressed a strong interest in studying law.

Where possible, schools should prioritise students from under-represented backgrounds, including but not limited to:

Students with experience of care
Those eligible for Free School Meals
First-generation university applicants
Students from military families
Students who identify as Black, Asian, or Minority Ethnic (BAME)
Students from less affluent socioeconomic backgrounds

These groups are statistically underrepresented at institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge, and we are committed to addressing this imbalance.

We also offer small travel bursaries to support students who:

Are eligible for Free School Meals
Have spent time in care
Attend a state-maintained school or college and receive government-funded, income-assessed financial support (e.g. a 16–19 bursary)

Schools that participated last year will receive a nomination link in January. If your school did not take part previously, please contact undergraduate.enquiries@law.ox.ac.uk to request access to the nomination form.
