Information for Prospective International Law Students

Studying at Exeter

A recent survey of over 18,400 international students at 27 UK universities rated Exeter 'the best place to be’. The city of Exeter which is located 2.5 hours from London offers the best of both worlds: an economically prosperous regional capital with good transport links and the quality of life one would expect of an historic cathedral city. Furthermore, we have a second campus in Cornwall, set in beautiful countryside just outside Falmouth. Cornwall is well connected to Exeter and London by train and has a vibrant and friendly student community and welcomes international students from around the globe.

Both the School of Law's campuses welcome overseas applicants from all parts of the world. We have substantial numbers of students from the Middle East and the Gulf, South East and East Asia, and North and South America, and also a large proportion from Africa and Europe.

Worldwide Recognition

English law degrees are recognised as satisfying part of the academic requirements for professional practice in many countries throughout the world. This is because the English legal system of Common Law is the basis of many countries' legal systems. It should be noted however, that some of these countries require qualifications or training in addition to the LLB in order to practise law. See a complete list of Common Law countries and their professional practice requirements.

Admissions Information

Applications for undergraduate degrees must be made via the Universities and Colleges Admissions System (UCAS).

Applications for most other programmes can be sent direct to the University. Read more information about how to apply, and find out about English language requirements.

Financial Help

The School itself has scholarships available to international undergraduate law students in addition to the University's many other scholarships available to all international students. Go to our Scholarships page to find out more details.
