Hello,
A lot of UK law schools require a minimum of 2:1 for their llm.
Are they really that strict (I am not talking about the top 10 law schools) in requiring that standard?
I have a 2:2 for my bachelor and normally I will have a 2:1 for my masters. I'm doubting whether I would have a decent chance...
Your answer will be appreciated!

Usually if you contact the schools, they will give you a good sense of whether or not you should apply.
A 2:1 in your masters will definitely help, although your undergraduate performance may harm your chances at a top school like UCL.
But I've heard that a lower tier school like Birmingham will consider high 2:2 - maybe also check at Strathclyde, Bristol, etc.

I know that UCL, Kings College and LSE are out of my reach. I was looking at Queen Mary (but I think the competition is still fierce here), Edinburgh (also competitive), Kent, Glasgow, Nottingham, Westminster. It is an ambitious list.
I would file my application in February after I recieved my grades of January. So I hope to point out that I will have grades above 70% (=2:1) for my masters degree. The fact that I worked in an international lawfirm (top 30 UK) is hopefully a helpful element.
Any remarks for my chances of succes on my list?
Thanks!

I am not sure for universities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, UCL, KCL, LSE will accept people with a 2:2 but you have really great chances for the other universities mentioned in your list. Although the formal requirement is to get a 2:1 in order to secure a place for LLM, you can still get accepted. I have lots of colleagues at Kent who have high 2:2s in their LLBs so as long as you can sell your skills effectively, I think you have a good chance!

My goal is to get in to Queen Mary or Nottingham. I know that KCL, UCL and LSE are out of my reach. I think the competition will still be fierce. but I am going to try. In December I am going to do my TOEFL and send my application. Hopefully I will get accepted.

Hello, I found this thread very helpful. I am from Pakistan and have done my LL.B as an external student from the University of London. I have graduated with a 2.1 and currently I am teaching land and company law. I have also worked at law firm and have worked at hospital and do a lot of charitable work. I got rejected by KCL today. I just wanted to know whether I stand a chance at UCL or LSE. I have also scored a 7.5 in my Ielts. Thank you in advance.

Good luck! The one piece of advice that I would give is to find ways in which you stand out from other people with similar grades - whether it's your work experience, extra curriculars, etc. - some way that you can stand out among the droves of other applicants.

Sorry to hear about KCL.
Your IELTS score is just at the minimum required for LSE - so take care with your personal statement and maybe even make sure it's proofread by a native English speaker.

If I understood your question correctly, then, no, it is not important to have professional qualifications or to be a qualified lawyer in order to do an LLM in the UK.
Indeed, most people do an LLM in the UK (with a few exceptions, like the executive LLM at LSE, which I think *is* designed for practicing lawyers) before starting their professional career.

Hi to everybody!!!!!!!
About requirements for ammission in a good LLM, except to spek a good english(5.5-6.5 ielts),
Hello - just to note that 6.5 IELTS is a pretty minimal English requirement for a good LLM. You are unlikely to get onto a good LLM programme with below a 6.5. At Westminster my course (LLM International Commercial Law) normally requires 6.5 IELTS with a minimum 6.0 in Writing, and that sort of level seems pretty normal. I have seen higher requirements listed elsewhere (eg 7.0+) but in my experience these often tend to be more flexible in practice.

That's right, a 2.1 is 60-69%, although depending on how the UK University calculates results, some UK students may get a 2.1 with just under a 60% on their average mark. My experience would be that a Kenyan upper second would translate exactly to a UK 2.1

I don't know QM or Kent, but I when doing admissions for University of Westminster LLM International Commercial Law we would typically accept this sort of profile. Typically a 53%+ law degree from a good Indian University would be enough to be considered for admission.
