Law at University of Cambridge
Key requirements for Law at University of Cambridge, compiled from the official course page, with 1-to-1 tutoring from Oxford or Cambridge graduates.
In a nutshell
Cambridge Law (the BA in Law, sometimes called Tripos Law) is a three-year qualifying law degree. It is more academic and less vocational than many UK law courses - you study the Roman foundations, constitutional and tort law in Year 1, then specialise across contract, property, EU and international law in Years 2 and 3.

Insider tips
Things Law applicants commonly miss.
- 01
Strong LNAT essay sections matter - Cambridge admissions tutors read the Section B essay alongside your personal statement, not just the multiple-choice score.
- 02
Avoid commercial-law clichés in your personal statement. Cambridge Law is academic; references to constitutional theory, jurisprudence or case-reading carry more weight than internships.
- 03
A handful of colleges (Trinity, Christ's, Selwyn, Downing) are particularly strong for Law - but the Winter Pool means college choice has limited bearing on offer rate.
