Summer Law Degree Preparation

If you are thinking of studying Law at University, and could do with some more information about what a Law degree entails, then this is the course for you. Students will find out about studying Law as a first degree, the advantages of the degree over other subject choices, the skills required to succeed. The course also takes students through the alternative options to studying Law as a first degree, including the various conversion courses including the Common Professional Examinations in Law (or GDL).

In addition, students will work closely with the tutor on their personal statement in order to maximise their chances of succeeding at their first choice institution. There will also be an opportunity to practise interviews with the tutor, with feedback provided. Students wishing to visit prospective Colleges will have the chance to look around the University during the week. There will also be opportunities to visit Oxford Crown Court and the University Law Library during the week.

Accommodation is provided in St. Catherine’s College, and students will live on campus with other students from Broadening Horizons programme and the other university preparation programmes. A full cultural and social programme will also be provided as a part of the programme fees.
