University of Oxford
Course Overview
Oxford's three-year BA in Jurisprudence is the foundational law degree of the English Bar — read by generations of UK Supreme Court justices, FTSE general counsel, and senior policy makers. The course covers the core legal subjects required for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) and Bar Standards Board exemptions.
Sri Lankan applicants sit the LNAT (Law National Admissions Test) and attend a college interview, typically over Zoom in mid-December.
