Law Honours Programme (LLB(Hons)) Entry Requirements

The LLB(Hons) programme is being updated under new regulations. As part of this transition, admissions will be paused for 2027, with selection recommencing in 2028. Applications for entry from 2028 onwards are expected to open at a later date.

Next Admission Year: 2028  

Application Deadline: 1 December 2027 

Key Features of the new LLB(Hons) programme

  • The LLB(Hons) is changing from a 540-point to a 480-point programme meaning it can be completed in four years – the same duration as the single LLB. 
  • LLB(Hons) selection will occur at the end of LLB Part III instead of end of LLB Part II. Students must plan LLB Part III carefully to avoid enrolling in excess courses for 2028 eligibility. 
  • Students, if eligible, can continue in the LLB or apply for LLB(Hons) for their final 120-points.
