Being a Law student at Robinson means being part of a hard-working but very friendly academic community. We have had many extremely successful students in the past and are always looking for students who are likely to excel in the future. If you have a logical approach to reasoning, enjoy problem solving, can write easily and are prepared to meet the challenge of a degree that is among the most rigorous in the University, then whatever your other interests and activities you would fit in very well here.
Most students study Law for three years, although it is possible to change to Law from other subjects at the end of your first or second year. You will cover all the compulsory Law Society exemption papers (Criminal Law, Public Law, Tort Law, Contract Law, Land Law, Equity and EU Law) during your time at Cambridge. In the first year everyone does the same four subjects (Civil Law, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law and Tort Law), but from then on the number of choices increases so that you will spend more of your time studying subjects you have chosen for yourself from a wide range of options.
Subject Requirements
There are no specific subject requirements for students wishing to study Law. Students showing ability in any academic school subject, including mathematics and science, are encouraged to apply for law. The study of Law itself, at GCSE, AS or A2 level, is neither encouraged nor discouraged.
