Hello!

Are there any universities that have a 2:2 requirement instead of a 2:1?

I don't think so... at least not officialy. For instance, there was this one time when I logged into University of Greenwhich's webpage (i.e., an university that is far from being a top institution in the UK) and I saw they require a 2.1... my point is: in the UK universities will always ask for a 2.1 at least.

Now they require a 2:2.

It is not unusual at all for Law Schools to require a 2:2 for the LLM. If their web sites say "second class degree" without "upper" or "good" before, that is an indication that they require a 2:2 only.

Assuming we have 100 UK unis with law faculties, about 70percent (possible a higher percentage) of them will admit applicants with 2.2's and some will even accept 3rd class degree; regardless of the requirements stated on their webpages.

Sunnylady is correct - you'll find most law schools will admit LLM students with a 2.2, and chances of success are higher if you're paying international fees.

With the exception of maybe 5-10 law schools who have enough applicants to be selective; most of the rest will be putting bums on seats.

There are quite a few specifically say they'll consider lower second class students without needing additional strengths (work experience etc): eg. Birmingham, BPP, Bedfordshire, Dundee, Aberystwyth, Lancashire.
