Hi Guys,



I wonder if anyone can help me? I want to apply for the LLM at UCL for the upcoming intake 2021/2022. While I received a 65% overall for my undergraduate degree in law, it was from a university ranked just under the top 70 in the UK. As well as this, I received 2.2s in my first and second year of university, only receiving a first overall in my final year, where I did achieve two high firsts (one being my dissertation) and high 2.1s throughout. UCL would be a dream university to undertake a masters in law and I realise that the above is likely to hinder my chances.



I wondered at the likelihood of being accepted on the course or if anyone knows of UK students being accepted on to the masters programme with a similar situation as my own? Also any tips or pointers on the application process, or helpful pages that people know of would be greatly appreciated :)

Edit: Or if anyone has any information on the general LLM course or application process in UCl or maybe other Universities that I would have a better chance of getting into for a masters I would be really grateful.

Hey we are exactly in the same situation right now and I am also looking for the same answer you're looking for. Have you gotten any answers from anywhere else?

No one will be able to tell you if you have a chance or not. I say apply and find out. I’ve heard of people getting into UCL with low 2.1s. I don’t think their admission process is too rigorous as they have an offer rate of ~60%.

Hey just wanted to check up and see if you guys got a response? I have a friend in a similar situation. 

Hello everyone. I am a current LLM student at UCL.

I applied in early December 2019 and received my offer in February 2020.

To my understading, I believe UCL mainly look at your overall Undergrad score as a whole. Honestly speaking, I think you all should be fine as long as you are on track to getting a 2:1. Obviously they will look at your writing sample and personal statement as well.

Good luck!
