Information for students from the US

Why study with us?

A US applicant wishing to join a Buckingham LLB programme does not have to have complete the LSAT, or indeed have a first degree. However, he or she may be required to take all or part of a Foundation programme, depending on age and educational experience.

After the degree

Each state of the United States has its own requirements for qualifying to practice law. You should check with the bar council for the state in which you are interested in practicing to find out the specifics of their requirements. However, over the years, many holders of a Buckingham LLB (Single Honours) have successfully applied for the New York Bar. Buckingham is also signed up to the US Federal Loans Scheme and so US applicants may be able to apply for US student loans for their LLB studies.
