The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Its reputation for outstanding academic achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out by the staff of the University and the Colleges. Cambridge University is organised on a collegiate basis, with 31 colleges. Colleges provide accommodation, access to dining and athletic facilities and various forms of student support. Lectures and seminars for the LL.M. course are, however, provided exclusively by the Faculty of Law.

Miscellaneous Expenses : Information not provided Note Is LSAT/LNAT score required ? LNAT (Law National Admissions Test) Applicants for the undergraduate B.A. course in Law at Cambridge must take the LNAT. To learn more about the LNAT and to register online for test, please refer to the LNAT website. For more detailed information about the way that the Cambridge Colleges will use the LNAT results, and about the special LNAT deadlines for Cambridge applicants, See our LNAT Information for Cambridge Applicants page. http://www.law.cam.ac.uk/admissions_lnat.php Is TOEFL score required ? If you have not carried out your prior academic work in English you will need to take a language proficiency test to show you have the necessary command of the language to get the most out of your course. IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the university's preferred test. Where the IELTS test is not available you may take the Princeton TOEFL test (Test of English as a Foreign Language). If you do this, you must take the Test of Written English (TWE) at the same time. For all law courses, including the LL.M., the IELTS minimum overall score is 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in the reading component and 7.0 in each other element. For the TOEFL the minimum score is 630 or 267 in the computer-based test, plus 5.0 TWE. The minimum score in the internet based TOEFL test is 110. Any other mandatory requirements: ? The minimum entry requirement for the LL.M. is normally a First class degree in law from a UK university, or the equivalent from an overseas institution. For overseas students this typically means they will have placed in the top 5-10% of their class. The LL.M. Admissions Committee does consider applications from those with a non-Law first degree, provided that in addition to their degree they have either substantial relevant professional legal experience or have obtained a professional legal qualification with the equivalent of a First Class result. However, a first degree in Law is the preferred preparation for the Cambridge LL.M. For all law courses, including the LL.M., the IELTS minimum overall score is 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in the reading component and 7.0 in each other element. For the TOEFL the minimum score is 630 or 267 in the computer-based test, plus 5.0 TWE. The minimum score in the internet based TOEFL test is 110. Competition for places on the LL.M. programme is intense. In a typical year, there will be approximately 1,000 applications and only 200 to 250 offers are made. Generally, about 125 students take the LL.M. each academic year. The University welcomes applications from students with disabilities or chronic illness and evaluates them on the same academic basis as those from other candidates. The Faculty Building is fully accessible to those with mobility difficulties.

The income from the trust fund is used to provide Scholarships in Law, and the regulations also permit the making of grants on grounds of financial hardship to resident members of the University studying law. The regulations for both scholarships and grants require (i) that the applicant is a British Citizen or a citizen of a country of the Commonwealth; and (ii) that the applicant has ‘declared in writing the sincere intention of qualifying as a barrister or a solicitor or as a teacher of law, and of practising or teaching law accordingly’ (University of Cambridge Statutes and Ordinances 2006, p. 55). In practice, the Managers of the Trust normally make hardship grants only to undergraduates because graduate students are required to confirm, prior to taking up their place at the University, that they have sufficient funds for their studies. Application forms for hardship grants from the Squire Fund are available from Mrs Sally Lanham ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) in the Faculty Office.

The only exceptions are: * If you are a research student, and with the permission of your supervisor, you may be able to take on a small amount of undergraduate teaching for the Colleges ('supervisions') or for your faculty or department. However, you should not rely on this to generate a significant income as no more than ten hours a week may be spent in teaching activities. * If you are registered for part-time study. Students on one-year courses may not take paid work during their course.
